The following good faith estimate represents the total costs (excluding sales tax) to complete the Private Pilot Course, Part 141.

This estimate is based on the following assumptions:
1. The student will be available to fly a minimum of 2 lessons per week in order to foster greater retention and course continuity.
2. Course curriculum will be closely followed.
3. Student is of average ability.
It is very possible to complete the flight portion of the Part 141 Private course in less time than stated in this estimate. However, experience has shown that these are realistic figures. In either case, you will only be charged for the actual hours flown, and actual ground instruction time spent with the instructor.
