Please note:
If you fly 3-4 times per week and repeat each lesson on a simulator, it may be possible to complete the required courses within the FAA’s minimum requirements. Above aircraft rates include fuel (due to fluctuating fuel prices, aircraft rates are subject to change without notice).
$2.50 per flight hour is added to all rentals and provides the
renter with one hundred thousand dollars liability insurance
(five hundred thousand on C172R’s and C210) and full hull
insurance with zero deductible.
* Prior to the Commercial Flight Test, you must have logged
a total of 250 flight hours including 50 hrs PIC cross-country.
