How much will it cost to get my Private Pilot Certificate?

According to the FAA minimums required to obtain a certificate of 35 hours, the cost would be $6,539.90 in our most economical trainer . Is this a realistic figure? - No. Our professional clients who fly twice a day, six days a week and have no other distractions have a strong possibility of completing the program close to these hours.

However, a majority of clients are flying for recreational purposes and have other life commitments such as family and employment that do not allow them to dedicate themselves fully to their flight training. This type of client will usually obtain their certificate for $ $8,000 to $9,500 using one or more expensive hourly aircraft, such as the glass cockpit Cessna 172. The simple equation to figure where you will lie in those amounts will be determined by how often you can fly per week. The more you fly, 3 times a week is recommended, the fewer dollars out of your pocket.
