Answer 1

The full cost of learning to fly includes your total flying time (usually slightly longer than the minimum 45 hours to reach the necessary standard), plus the costs of books, flying club membership, ground school and exam fees. Based on the minimum 45 hours, you can expect to pay about £5,400. This average cost obviously depends on how long it actually takes you to complete the course, as well as fuel prices and other varying costs, so it's always better to check with your instructor before making your final decision.
