* Prices are based on the FAA required experience minimum to complete the training, plus 10 hours of dual instruction (30 hours dual instruction and 10 hours of solo time). In past we have many goal orientated students that has been able to complete their training within FAA set minimums.
Some are faster learners and some are slower. FAA Practical Tests are based on pilot performance standards and we can not guarantee that you will complete your training in the minimum hours. Should you exceed any flight/ground hours, you will be responsible for the additional costs. We can guarantee that, within 12 calendar months, since start of your training, your addition cost will stay fixed for Piper PA-28 at $125 per hour and for flight-ground instruction at $60 per hour.
