Total Cost(s) depend on which plane a student pilot chooses to train in. Other costs include what supplies the student pilot chooses to buy. On average, a "ball park estimate" of total costs range between $6,000-$7,000.
At our Part 61 school, students pay as they go after each lesson or purchase flight hours in advance in prepaid flight hour packages.
Students at our flight school can personalize their own training schedule around their own life!

(Minimum of 1 hr, every part of an hour counts as a 1/2 hour).
