Both include 0.8 flight hour with instruction, briefing, preflight and debrief. Actual availability applies. Your instructor will confirm which flights and training requirements the aircraft can support, along with endorsements and individual medical eligibility.

Jabiru J170. Simple, personal flying.

Current prices, equipment, photos and aircraft status come from the live fleet records below. The aircraft wet rate includes fuel; instruction is separate.

Learn to fly

Training starts with a $1,000 credited deposit, then aircraft plus instruction as used. No club joining fee or monthly dues are required for training.

Fly independently

Independent rental requires approved membership and aircraft checkout. The $500 entry includes the first checkout hour; dues are $100/month or $1,000/year prepaid. Additional checkout, instruction, eligibility and actual availability apply.

Choose the right path

An instructor must review aircraft limitations, eligibility, night, instrument-reference and practical-test requirements and transition time. Do not assume the J170 alone covers every private-pilot requirement.

Eligibility comes first

Sport-pilot driver’s-license eligibility is conditional on individual medical history and current FAA rules. A denied medical cannot simply be bypassed. Discuss eligibility with your instructor and an appropriate medical professional.

A first flight in the J170
