> Many modern light planes have a cost starting at $100,000

What planes are you referring to? I'm not familiar with models in that price range that are certified for commercial operations.

Certified for commercial operations is a very ambiguous term. You can do flying lessons on any plane that is registered and allowed to fly with some exceptions. Example: Pipistrel Alpha Trainer, base price was around 70,000 when they still had the price list on the site. 2 seater, low fuel consumption, high wing, very light and easy to fly, perfect for a trainer.
