Hello Future Aviator:
Today I am going to start pointing you in the right direction about your dream of learning to fly.
The first thing you want to do is plan. Would you just start building a new house without a plan? Probably not. So why do so many people just start taking flying lesson without a budget or plan?
So I will familiarize you with some terminology that you will need to know and start you going thru this entire process.
When you start looking around you will find a few things that are in the cost estimates of all the flight schools.
Dual Instruction: This is also known as flight instruction received. This is the time you are up in the airplane with your flight instructor. In the case of dual instruction the cost will include both the airplane and instructor.
Solo Time/Aircraft Rental: This is the time you will be renting the aircraft that is charged on a per hour basis like the dual instruction:
Flight Instructor: This is the charge per hour for the flight instructor.
There are some different ways that a flight school will word their cost estimates.
One school may have DUAL INSTRUCTION in an estimate and another school may have Aircraft Rental and Flight Instructor.
I will give you some sample prices below
Flight Instructor Rate: $50.00 Per Hour
Aircraft Rental Rate: $96.00 Per Hour
Examples of a brief cost estimate from a flight school may look like this:
A: 40 Hours Aircraft Rental $3,840.00
B: 20 Hours Certified Flight Instructor. $1,000.00
Total $4,840.00
Another Flight School May have a cost estimate that looks like this:
20 Hours Dual Flight Instruction $2,920.00
20 Hours of Solo Flight $1,920.00
Total $4,840.00
You will notice that both are the same cost, just the way they are presented is a little different.
In many cases the above may be all they tell you. You will want to start digging into what is really going on.
I have detailed this entire process for you in an easy to read and understand guide.
You can see that I am getting pretty detailed in this course but I have put my 20 years of aviation experience into one resource for people like you who are considering learning to fly. If you are interested in me helping you from start to finish, please visit me at:
