N517DL rents for $110 per hour based on the Hobbs meter. This is an
all-inclusive cost that includes all maintenance and fuel. If you need a
second set of headphones for a passenger, that is included in our rental
cost. We offer a 10%
discount for pilots that purchase 10 hours of flight time in advance. This
makes our rental rate $99 per hour which is one the best anywhere in the United States
for a comparably equipped aircraft.
Our instructors set their own rates but average $30 per hour for their services including time in the
air and time on the ground. IFR instruction is slightly more. Instruction given on the ground is critical to
the proper development of pilot skills.
Our simulator costs $30 per hour plus instructor time at $30 an hour
average. IFR
instruction is slightly more.
The simulator can greatly reduce air time expense for certain learning
activities.
All aircraft billing is done via the web, again keeping our costs low. When
you receive a bill it is due upon receipt. We expect to have your
payment in 10 days or less unless you pay in
advance to receive the additional 10% discount. Most pilots pay by
check but special arrangements can be made to use a credit card.
However, there is a 3% processing fee if you choose to use your credit card.
Instructor payments are between the instructor and the student.
