One dual hour
$205 per hour. Training aircraft at $155 plus instruction at $50. This adds the two published rates. It is not a quote, and it is not like for like with schools that include different things.
The school's own private pilot estimate
$9,400. Hours it assumes: FAA minimum hours: 20 hours of instruction at $50 and 40 hours of aircraft at $155. The school's average total is $11,500 and includes additional instruction and test retakes.
The FAA minimum is 40 flight hours (14 CFR 61.109). An estimate built on fewer hours than a student needs will be too low.
