Flight training at a reasonable price
Hello I'm 19 years old I live in New Hampshire. I am in the process of getting all of my pilot licenses. I was wondering if anyone knew of any flight schools that charges a reasonable price for aircraft rental and instruction time with fuel included within the New England area. Or anywhere in the country I am willing to relocate. I currently pay 188 an hour and some of the schools around me charge the same price or a little more. My instructor is rising his prices. Just wondering if there is any flight schools that will charge from 80-150$ for a lesson in the country. I would appreciate any feedback from other users thank you very much.

I just checked today, and the going rate in Madison Wisconsin is $109 per hour for a C-172/Piper Warrior (C-150/152's are cheaper), the instructor is $52. The airplane rental is pretty average for this area, but I know you could find a cheaper instructor.

Check out the University of Maine's flying club. It's about 200 miles away from you in Bangor. $130 membership fee, you don't have to be a student at UM if you just want to rent the C150, which goes for $65/Hour wet. Instructors are $30/Hour.

Listen to this guy, I wish I had done all my private training at a club. I spent an extra $3k compared to what it would have cost at a club and got crappier training to boot. Club is the way to go for the PPL. Study BEFORE you show up each day for a lesson and watch videos on YouTube or and read a cheap red Gleim book for the written exam.
