Rates at Lincoln Park Airport, NJ?

[ktsai91]

I was wondering what are the rates on the aircraft they have over there and more importantly, the upcoming Cessna Skycatcher rates. What about the instructor's rate? How much does the C162 cost per hour and how much do the instructors cost per hour?

No one flies the skycatcher yet, so I dont think we can really answer that.

Call 'em up

I called Aero Safety Training flight school and they say they don't know anything about the rates of the C162 yet. I do learned that they only have C172s so far and they cost $145 per hour. The instructors costs $65 dollars per hour.

I personally think that the instructors rates cost way too much. Anyone agree?

That sounds very steep.

The answer to that will probably vary depending upon whether you're a student or a CFI.

Just like the question about whether airfares are too high or too low will be answered differently by passengers than by pilots.

Seems fair for a CFI. Seems steep for the 172 unless it has a G1000, which I think it may.

Try Caldwell (kcdw)...only few miles away from there...

BTW I'm already taking SP flying lessons at KCDW. The Sportstar is $99 per hour and the instructors are $40 per hour.

Echo Victor eh?... Go Century...

 

[Tworotor7]

Looking at it now I guess your trying to get the Sports cert. Need an lsa then...

Actually its at Macdan.

I know...Im talking about the tail number.
Are you trying to stick with LSA?

 

[ktsai91]

Hopefully move up to private pilot someday but not now at least.

A few days ago I tried so hard calling these guys to see how much it costs, but in the end it didn't really matter because it was too expensive.

These rates are average for the area, unless you want to fly a P.O.S. with no avionics and barely one working radio... :insane:
