Flight training at LuvsFlying Flight Training

Flight instruction: $70/hr

Flight or ground instruction is $70/hr and instrument training is $80/hr on the site's one rate table, which does not say which base it applies to. Airplane rentals are for LuvsFlying graduates only and the fleet page prices none of the four airplanes it shows.

1. 1

   What is the hourly rate on your cheapest trainer, and which airplane is that?Missing from their site

   This is the number that is missing from the site, and it is the largest line on your bill.

2. 2

   Is that rate wet or dry, meaning does it include fuel?Missing from their site

   A dry rate and a wet rate are not comparable. Dry rates can run $40 to $60 an hour lower for the same airplane.

3. 3

   Which airplanes are based at Morgantown, and what does each cost per hour, wet or dry?Missing from their site

   The fleet page shows four airplanes across two states with no rate and no base for any of them.

4. 4

   Do the $70 and $80 instruction rates apply at Morgantown?

   The rate table is the same page for every base and never says so.

5. 5

   Rentals are for graduates only. What does a student fly during training, and is that priced differently?

   The site restricts rental to its own graduates and does not say how a student's aircraft time is billed.

6. 6

   Do you offer block rates or prepay discounts, and what is the refund policy if I stop partway?

   Block discounts are common and rarely published. The refund terms matter more than the discount.

7. 7

   What do you charge for the written test, the checkride, and the examiner's fee?

   The DPE fee alone runs $800 to $1,200 in most of the country and is almost never in a quoted hourly rate.

8. 8

   How many trainers and how many full-time instructors do you have right now?

   Availability decides your pace, and pace decides your total more than the hourly rate does.

What to compare their answer against

Not LuvsFlying's rates. The middle of what 4 West Virginia schools charge, to hold your phone quote against.

From the schools here that publish full rate cards, the same sample behind the Flight Training Cost Report. LuvsFlying is not in it.

What we checked

A branch of a school based in the New York area, listed at Morgantown on AirNav and on its own site. Publishes instruction at $70/hr and instrument instruction at $80/hr on a rate table that names no base, and no airplane rate at all. Crawled across 26 pages, September 5, 2026. RSA Flight Training, already rated, is at the same airport.
