Private Pilot Certificate Costs
The cost of getting your private pilot certificate depends on how many hours it takes in the plane and with your instructor.
The FAA requires a minimum of 40 hours, but it will likely take you longer. The current national average is 62 hours.
Understanding Training Costs
Understanding how many hours it will take you to learn to fly is a challenging task.
Always budget for more hours than you believe you’ll need. Your ability is not the only factor that might delay training: weather, maintenance and scheduling delays can chew through hours as you fly to maintain proficiency before a test.
Hourly airplane rental costs are often the highest training cost. Average rental rates for a Cessna 172 are about $190/h wet (includes fuel). See our rates here.
A Springs Aviation Instructor is worth the money. At only $55/h, instructor rates here are some of the most affordable in the country.
Instruction costs are accrued for both ground and flight training and ground training is absolutely necessary.
Books, charts, plotters E6b calculators, bags, headsets and more. These costs are minimal compared to the costs of airplane rentals, but they’re an important factor to consider.
While students at Springs can always borrow a headset, they may want their own for comfort reasons.
We recommend Quest Pilot Supplies for all your gear needs.
Testing fees are important to factor. The written test costs $175 per attempt. Pilot Examiners’ rates differ for the practical test, but for a Private Pilot checkride, you should expect to pay at least $500. You’ll also want to consider the cost of the airplane rental for the test.
