PRIVATE PILOT TRAINING COURSE
CESSNA 172 R or SP
Affordable, Fast, Effective:
For
about half the cost of a used car you can become a certificated
Private Pilot and enjoy a lifetime of memorable flying experiences.
Our unique Integrated
Flight Training programs are truly the most cost and time
efficient way to reach your goals! Invest a little of your time and money into
your pilot training course and then spend the
rest of your life with a certificate and a skill that less than 2
percent of the population now enjoys.
The tables below gives you an itemized estimation of ALL of the costs involved with this
Private Pilot training course, and is based on the average flight training time to completion. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, not a "one size fits all" package deal. Your actual costs will vary, simply because everyone is different and possesses different learning styles and past experiences (such as in the case of finish-up students). By using the Cessna
Computer Based Instruction system, your total time to completion will be significantly less than the industry average though. This is accomplished by using the most advanced interactive instructional techniques which involves more of the senses into the learning process, thus maximizing the retention of information.

This sheet is
intended for informational purposes only and reflects estimated costs of all
aspects of this training course. The hour requirements and associated costs
are based on the average training time to complete the course
and pass the FAA Practical Test. Your actual time to completion will vary. All prices subject to change without notice. Aircraft
hourly rental rates quoted above include fuel and are based on our
discounted Pre-Paid rates. Any additional flight hours or
instruction will generate additional costs.
A
word about our pricing and rates: SunState Aviation's commitment to you,
our students and customers is to provide the highest quality training and
aircraft rental possible, combined with the very best possible customer
service at the very best prices and hourly rates possible. We do not add
fuel surcharges or any other hidden charges to our rental rates (a 7% local
sales tax is added to non-instructional aircraft rentals), nor do we falsely
inflate our rental rates in order to offer "special cut-rate deals." Our
rates are competitive and our block discounts are already as low as we can
possibly go. Please do not ask us to depart from our published rates. The
prices and rates published on this web-site are the effective rates at the
time that you viewed them and are subject to change. Thank you for your
understanding.
