Question

What would the cost of flying lessons be to your final test?

Answer 1

In the US, for the private, budget 4-7K

Answer 2

I just completed my training and took my check ride in August.  It cost just over $7000 for just over 50 hours of flight training, plus my ground school and check ride.

There are a lot of ways to save a TON of money on your flying.  Ideas I didn't learn until I was near the end of my flight time.

1. Consider buying a partnership in an aircraft.  If you buy a quarter owner of a 172, you can really drive down the per hour cost.  Then you can either keep or sell your ownership when you're done or if you want to move up to a bigger or better plane.

2. Do all your training in the cheapest plane you can possibly find.  At this stage in your training you don't need anything fancy.  YOu're learning the fundementals and that can happen in a 152.

3. Barter out some services to your flight school.  Find things they you can do that they need.

There really are a TON of ways to save.

Answer 3

like some one said around 7k. If any school gives you amount based on the min flight hrs, this cost is never a guantreed amount, as the average is around 60 hours for a PPC.

Answer 4

You need to figure out what school you are going to use and then they will be able to give you a range, but as one of the previous answers points out, it depends on how you learn.  That will determine how many hours it takes and that will determine how much it costs.

Answer 5

depends piper is ussualy $120 per lesson

Answer 6

Cherokee flyer is pretty close with his budget on the cost.

If you get in there and get serious with it. It will be less..because you will not have to relearn previous lessons due to being inactive. Anyway...good luck in your journey!
