those who already hold a Commercial Pilot-Helicopter
Certificate with a minimum of 150 Flight hrs) 5 Hours

NOTES:
Hourly rates shown are based on the advance purchase of
10-hour "blocks" of flight training time. Add $10 per
hour if training is purchased hour-by-hour. Rates are
subject to change without notice. Students may elect to
take an outside ground school or study on their own with
Midwest's guidance for written exams. Supplemental
individual personalized ground instruction (if
requested) will be charged at current ground school
instructor rates.
* Cost
estimates are based on the FAA MINIMUM training
requirements. The number of hours any individual may
require depends on that person's abilities, personal
initiative, desire to learn, outside study, and
frequency of training. Based on our considerable
experience, we have found that it takes most students
approximately 10-15 hours of flight training to gain the
skills required to pass the required FAA Certified
Flight Instructor (CFI) Practical Flight Test.
