My School....
My school charges 45 dollars for one lesson. That means I get an hour flying and some ground lesson, preflight, and a post flight debriefing.
The plane rental is 107 dollars an hour wet, so I pay about 160 dollars all up since the Hobbs time usually goes a hair over an hour.
If you think about it, since the instructor can't do any more than one lesson every two hours, he makes only 22.5 dollars an hour even if he is fully booked. That's not much, especially if you need to live on this.
I think learning to fly isn't cheap, but when you consider how hard the instructors have it financially, after they themselves invested all that time and money to become a CFI, it's really not much at all.
