What does flight training cost at Dependable Aviation?

Flight training can vary in cost based on a few factors, as we do offer discounted rates for several programs and scenarios (Contact for more info). For estimated total cost of training please visit our COURSE CATALOG for a specific breakdown of total cost estimate per License/Rating.

Our standard rates are as follows:

Aircraft - C172 - $200/hr WET (Including fuel).

Can I use my own aircraft?

Dependable Aviation proudly offers flight training to pilots in their own aircraft! So long as the aircraft is properly insured and a few other factors(airworthiness, required equipment etc.) are met, we have no issue providing owner pilot training. This ranges from both Foundational Certificates to Advanced Ratings / Endorsements and Aircraft Transition Training. This is something we believe can not only be a good cost saver, but also helps pilots attune to their machines in a way they didn't think possible before. All while building new skills, knowledge, and confidence along the way.
