I can assure you, flying costs much more than driving.CapnNismo wrote:

That's not that bad, though. Here in Austria they pay thousands of Euros to just get a driver's license. I'd rather have my pilot's license for the same money. Fly when I can, take the train when I can't. Or use a helicopter.

Yuh huh-=]NS[=-Eagle wrote:
well lets do the math
Aircraft = $129/hr (fuel included)
Instructor = $56/hr
Total = $185/hr
So I have now 11.2 hrs
11.2 X 185 = $2,072
So $2,072 for just the flying, thats not icluding the ground time (just the instructor's rate X time)
So im probly somewhere around $2,500. I do, however work at the flight school i attend as a dispatcher, so all that money is already covered
It is quite expensive though
Yeah, they said up to 8-10 hours. We have to re-fuel at the airports and fly back and such.-=]NS[=-Eagle wrote:

Albeit it's mostly groundwork for the first year, but it's every day.
We fly solo in our senior year. To places like Hartford, Poughkeepsie, etc.

I can't fucking wait. I NEED my PPL for college. I want to go to Embry-Riddle or Florida Tech and they'd put me in advanced classes if I already had my PPL.
