    Our 1,000-hour single engine tier is $65/hr ($65,000) and the 1,500-hour tier is $60/hr ($90,000), both wet. The right one depends on your starting hours and whether you qualify for a restricted ATP. If you already have 500 hours, 1,000 more gets you to 1,500. If you are starting near zero, the bigger tier gives the lowest hourly rate.

    Side-by-Side

    • 1,000 hours: $65/hr, $65,000
    • 1,500 hours: $60/hr, $90,000
    • Premium G1000: $75/hr at both tiers

    Subtract your current hours from your target. Buy the tier that covers the gap, not more.
