How much does a night rating cost?

We have two affordable Night Rating Packages below. The prices are based on our Cessna 152 and include insurance, headset hire and all landing and circuit fees.

We aim to do all our training between 1600 and 1800 to avoid extra airport fee’s. If you would like to train after 1800 there will be an additional cost.
