It adds up one hour at a time.
Every lesson is a line in your logbook. The four things below decide how many lines it takes.
What actually determines your total
Nobody can promise you an exact number up front — anyone who does is guessing. These four things decide it.
- 1
Frequency
How often you fly is the #1 cost driver. Consistent lessons shorten the path — long gaps mean re-learning and more hours.
- 2
Preparation
Showing up ready — ground study done, procedures chair-flown — makes every paid hour count.
- 3
Aptitude & goals
Every student learns at their own pace, and your destination (a certificate, a rating, a career) shapes the plan.
- 4
Medical & materials
Plan for a medical certificate to begin, plus books, a headset, and FAA exam fees.
Every student’s total is different — it depends on how often you fly and how you prepare. Call 270-826-6000 and we’ll give you a straight number for your situation.

How much does it cost to earn a Private Pilot License?
We quote it to you directly — call 270-826-6000 for current rates. The biggest factor is hours: the FAA minimum is 40 hours of flight training and most students take 50–70, so flying consistently keeps the total down.
How long does it take to get my license?
It is measured in flight hours: at least 40, and 50–70 for the average student. How fast you log them depends on how often you fly — and flight operations run seven days a week, 7am to 9pm.
Can I finance my flight training?
Not through us — Don Davis Aviation does not offer financing. Call 270-826-6000 and we will talk through what your training will cost for your goals and schedule.
