Rental and instructor cost?

[duksrule]

Yes I am military but driving to the other side of the bridge would not be cost effective. However I did find a place for under $90 an hour for a 172. I will be checking them out soon. Shame the Norfolk Flying Club is gone at NAS Norfolk.

I have to ask...are you military?

If you're in the Norfolk/Newport News/Virginia Beach area, it's a logical question. If you are, there is a military flying club at Ft. Eustis. I can just about guarantee rates are lower there.

If you're not military, it sounds like you're beginning to shop around for a better deal. I know there's a school at PHF, but couldn't tell you anything of the rates. My father had a Citabria there for several years.

Good luck...fly safe!

$140 is high.
In Savannah, older 172's go for about $85, and the New "S" models rent for $105.

Here in Baltimore, Maryland at the flight school that I teach, the rate for an older skyhawk is $91.00 and $40.00 for the instructor. Out of the $40.00 I get $21.00 per instruction hour.

That's pretty high. Here are the rates for a place in the PHX area with one of the newest fleets in the valley.

Instructors are $40/hour and they DO NOT SCREW YOU when charging you for ground instruction.
