Private pilot cost from these rates
Computed Not a quote from Nationwide Aviation. Computed from the school’s posted hourly rates: aircraft hours × its lowest Cessna 172 or Piper PA-28 rate, plus hours with an instructor × its lowest flight instructor rate. FAA minimum = 40 aircraft hours (30 with an instructor, 10 solo) under 14 CFR 61.109. Typical = 65 aircraft hours (50 with an instructor, 15 solo). Not included: ground instruction, books, medical exam, FAA knowledge test, examiner fee for the checkride, headset and renter’s insurance.
| Scenario | Aircraft | Instructor | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAA minimum (40 hours) | 40 hr × $185 = $7,400 | 30 hr × $70 = $2,100 | $9,500 |
| Typical (65 hours) | 65 hr × $185 = $12,025 | 50 hr × $70 = $3,500 | $15,525 |
Nationwide Aviation’s own figure: $15,800.
