Totals to reach your Private goal at this pace. Estimates use PilotBound's own completion-hours model, examiner-completion data where it exists and FAA minimums where it does not, applied to each school's published rates. They are PilotBound estimates, not the school's quote, and will differ from a school's own figures. How we estimate.

The Cessna 182H is billed at $210/hr on tach time; Stein's estimates that works out to about $190/hr of Hobbs time. Stein's says outright that the retractable Cessna 172RG is not used for Private Pilot training, and that the RV-12's glass panel makes it TAA-qualifying so its time can replace the complex time for the Commercial. Instruction is one flat rate for everything.
