America’s most expensive flight school?
It’s been 35 years since I was last at Atlanta’s Peachtree Airport.
Yesterday I stopped by to take a look.
One establishment caught my attention, not because it was out of the ordinary.
But the price list was so far removed from anything I’d seen before.
It makes me ask the question.
‘Is this America’s most expensive flight school?’
American Air Flight Training, inc.
In association with Lanier Flight Center.
They share the same aircraft and rates.
Prepay, club and walk-in rates.
1997 Cessna 172 $170, $185, $220.
2005 Cessna 172. $190, $205, $230.
2012 Cessna 172 G1000. $210, $225, $250.
Prepay rates are non refundable.
Club rates require $250 membership, and $49 a month dues.
But here is what most shocked me.
The instructor rates.
I was aghast.
$180 an hour for both ground and flight instruction.
$210 an hour in your aircraft.
$430 an hour dual in a Cessna 172 !!!
Has anyone seen similar rates elsewhere?
Or, ‘is this America’s most expensive flight school?’
