FLIGHT SCHOOL EQUIPMENT COSTS
(We’re sorry to say that due to exorbitant industry costs, BPFS is forced to raise our instruction costs as of October 1, 2023)
Flight Instructor, Single-Engine - $65/hr
Ground Instruction - $40/hr
Flight Simulator (Glass or *Raw Data) - $110/hr
Our state-of-the-art, AlSim (by Airbus), fully-enclosed, Flight Simulator is the ultimate classroom! From the flight instructors pod, your instructor is able to to deliver real-time, scenario based flying maneuvers and emergency training. The big difference is the “rewind button”; Fly - Mess Up - Reset - Repeat. Too easy!
*Wet Rate: All BPFS aircraft are priced “wet”, meaning the hourly cost includes airframe and fuel. Nothing hidden. It is what it is!
*Raw Data: There are two predominant cockpit displays. A Glass Cockpit is equipped with flat screen instrumentation. A Raw Data display is a legacy instrument display that utilizes round, glass gauges. Both are equally capable offering different and subjective ease of use. Either may be primary flight displays.
*Credit Card Processing: As of October 1, 2023, Barbers Point Flight School must charge a 3% non-cash transaction fee for all credit card purchases.
Solo Wall of Fame
Traditionally, a student pilot’s shirt-tail is removed (it’s great to do the cutting:) upon successfully completing their First Solo! Barnstorming and open cockpit flying of the past made communication between instructor and student impossible because of the lack of electronic headsets to communicate with.
Instructors would tug on a students shirt-tail to get their attention and to provide direction. Your shirt being cut is an instructors new confidence in YOU.! If you are smart, don’t solo your first time in a nice shirt…or do…we don’t mind:)
