What flight training costs

AeroTech Test quotes honestly around your goals rather than advertising a one-size-fits-all package. Flight instruction is $60/hour, introductory Discovery Flights start at $65, and the biggest lever on your total cost is how often you fly — consistent training finishes faster and cheaper. Talk to us and we will build an honest plan around you.

The honest part

What actually
determines
your total

Nobody can promise you an exact number up front — anyone who does is guessing. These four things decide it.

  1. 1

    Frequency

    How often you fly is the #1 cost driver. Consistent lessons shorten the path — long gaps mean re-learning and more hours.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    Showing up ready — ground study done, procedures chair-flown — makes every paid hour count.

  3. 3

    Aptitude & goals

    Every student learns at their own pace, and your destination (a certificate, a rating, a career) shapes the plan.

  4. 4

    Medical & materials

    Plan for a Third Class Medical Certificate to begin, plus books, a headset, and FAA exam fees.
