What flight training costs at Volare
Flight training at Volare Aviation is built around two simple rates: our aircraft rate is $185 per hour wet (fuel included), and our instruction rate is $60 per hour. A Discovery Flight is $249.

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
Pace
How often you fly. Consistency shortens the path — long gaps mean re-learning.
- 2
Preparation
Showing up ready — ground study done, lesson chair-flown — makes every hour count.
- 3
Consistency
A steady schedule matters more than an intense one. We will help you build a rhythm that fits your life.

Goals
A Private Pilot certificate, an Instrument Rating, a flying career — your destination shapes the plan.
Every student is different, so we quote honestly instead of advertising a too-good-to-be-true package price. Contact us for a custom quote built around your goals.
