Six Airframes, One Owner, One Shop
Every airplane in this collection belongs to the school. Nothing is brokered in from a private owner, and the 100-hour inspection interval that 14 CFR 91.409(b) attaches to an aircraft giving instruction for hire is our bill to pay.
The order matters more than the list. The Skycatcher and the DA20 build handling cheaply. The Warrior carries most of a private pilot certificate and has four seats when you finish it. The Arrow II supplies the complex time that 14 CFR 61.31(e) defines and 14 CFR 61.129 wants. The Seminole is where a multi-engine rating gets earned. The Cirrus SR22 Turbo is optional, and building early hours in it is the costliest way to do so.
What The Rate Means
Enrolled, you fly a single for $179 the hour, wet: the airframe and the fuel in it. Your instructor is carried by the program price instead. No hourly figure is published for the Seminole or the SR22 Turbo, because neither is sold by the hour.
Fly The Aeroplane Once, Then Decide
The assessment flight is the first hour of the syllabus and a two-way evaluation. You fly it from the left seat with an instructor beside you, they write down what they saw, and you get an honest read on whether the plan is realistic. It is loggable, and it is credited in full against enrolment if you enroll within 24 hours.
