I don’t see how that is even possible. Flight schools generally charge around $130 and up for a rental. Let’s say you found a great deal and are getting your plane for $120. Lets see how that math works....
Just to get a commercial pilot cert is gonna require 250 hours. 30k divided by 250 means you’re paying $120 an hour for a plane, paying your flight instructor $0.00 throughout the entire process, paying $0.00 for your CFI/CFII training. It also only makes sense if you’re paying nothing for your checkrides and accomplish everything in the bare amount of time.
Where did you find a flight school that offers free flight instruction?
