Windborne Flight
Wisconsin flight school with two Piper Archers and a pricing list that includes fuel and sales tax.
Wind Point area, Wisconsin. Part 61 or Part 141 is not stated on the pages we read.
What sets it apart
States its Archer rates with fuel and Wisconsin sales tax included and bases its $17,000 to $18,000 private pilot estimate on 65 hours, so the figure is closer to a final bill than many pre-tax rates.
What the page prints
Piper Archer at $211 or $232.10 an hour including fuel and tax, instructor $80 an hour.
Taken from the school's own page. The school says the hourly aircraft rate includes fuel. The page shows no date.
| Item | Per hour | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Piper Archer N1242H | $211 | Includes fuel and Wisconsin sales tax. |
| Piper Archer N81493 | $232.10 | Includes fuel and Wisconsin sales tax. |
| Instruction: Flight instructor | $80 |
One dual hour
$291 per hour. Piper Archer N1242H at $211 plus instruction at $80. 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
$17,000. Hours it assumes: 65 hours at its standard airplane and instructor rates, training cost only. The page gives a range of $17,000 to $18,000.
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.
Fees and terms the page names

Students in southeastern Wisconsin who want tax-inclusive rates.
You are comparing against rates that exclude tax; adjust for that first.
Watch out for
- Rates include tax, so they are not directly comparable with schools that quote before tax.
- Estimates cover training cost only, not exams, books or the medical.
