Checkout: G1000 checkout: private certificate, 75 hours total time, FITS ground course, and a minimum 5-hour checkout with a club instructor.

Cessna 172

≈ $144/hr wet — the wet cost varies with the club's current fuel price

Diamond DA40-180

≈ $155/hr wet — the wet cost varies with the club's current fuel price
