Flight training at Laramie Flying Club

1. 1

   What do you charge per hour for flight instruction, and is ground instruction billed at the same rate?Missing from their site

   This is the number that is missing from the site. Ground is often billed separately and at a different rate.

2. 2

   Does the instructor rate change for the Instrument, Commercial, or CFI, or is it flat across everything?Missing from their site

   Plenty of schools charge more for advanced instruction. A flat rate quoted for the Private can climb later.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Can I train here without being a member, and what do the dues and any share cost?Missing from their site

   This is a not-for-profit club rather than a school, and clubs commonly require membership before anyone may fly. The site sells membership dues as a product without showing the price on a readable page.

6. 6

   What do the club aircraft cost per hour?

   A club-aircraft page exists and its contents could not be read.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   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.

9. 9

   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 Laramie Flying Club's rates. The middle of what 3 Wyoming 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. Laramie Flying Club is not in it.

What we checked

A not-for-profit flying club rather than a commercial school, which usually means membership before flying. Its pages, including club-aircraft and join-club, render their content in the browser rather than in the HTML, so eight crawled pages produced nothing readable. Treat this as unread rather than as confirmed silent. Checked August 6, 2026.
