This has been the most honest video about cost. I'm currently in flight school and my instructor always tell me to "not add it up." The cost is crazy but I'm having a blast. I should have done this sooner lol.

I’ve spent like 20k on my ppl so far because the last place I flew at low key took advantage of me. I’m now at a cheaper flight school and have learned more.

The school I was looking at actually gave an estimate of 19,000! Given that they own a plane and rent it cheaper than you said, its pretty reassuring to see they did their homework!

Can you buy a piper 180 to save money and sell it when your done ?
@FreedomFlight1Ай бұрын
It’s possible. There are a lot of cost variables when owning an airplane. However, there are some distinct advantages as well. Hopefully I can do a video on this in the future.

I have few pair of A20’s And one A10. Sound quality and ANR is almost identical. The A30 is awful as far as sound and ANR in GA. The reviews all over Amazon. I think A20’s is the sweet spot!

@FreedomFlight12 ай бұрын
I know it’s very expensive. If you decide to do it as a career, it’s likely to be a great investment into yourself. Even slow progress is better than no progress. Hung around for the least expensive place to train. Smaller airports outside the city tend to be less expensive as less traffic getting in and out of the airport. Be super prepared for each flight, ask what to expect from your instructor so you can be very prepared. It’s worth it, I assure you. Thx for watching.

I decided when my father and I was flying U-Control Gas Models at the age of 12 years old after Dad was in WW2, that I was going to fly. I became 21 (then legal age) in 1956. My parents refused to sign for me before that. I went to the local airport and paid $5.00 for an orientation flight in a Super Cub. I started instruction the next week end. After 3 hours instruction, I found a lower price at a family owned airport. I switched to an Aeronca Champ 7AC flying out of a 2200' dirt runway W/ Elec. wires on one end and 50' pine trees on the other. The airport name was "King Aviation". The family name was "King". It is a much larger, paved, municipal A.P. now. When I soloed I switched to a Super Cub PA12 that I took my flight test at Edgartown AP, Martha's Vineyard in Cape Cod. July 4th 1958. My total cost was around $500.00. I can't imagine how much my flight instructor was paid out of $12.00 per hour dual instruction in the 7AC. By the way The FAA was the CAA back then. I'm too old to fly now but I have a great many memories and still love aircraft. My favorite are WW2 fighter aircraft. I could not afford an orientation in a Cessna 150, today. I built the "Corbin Baby Ace" in my profile picture because I was a poor Pilot that loved to fly. But great with my hands. Built it at Ft Lauderdale Xec. in 1978 That's my story and I'm stickin too it.

Got my PPL in August 1970 before starting my senior year of high school. Counting everything listed in the video (books, physical, flight test, etc.), and 42.5 hours of Cessna 150/152 time, it cost me $775. Of course, auto gas was 25 to 30 cents per gallon and the minimum wage was $1.50/hour. At standard CPI rates per BLS, the current cost after 54 years would be $6,206. But, probably not many people these days would use the equivalent of a Cessna 150. Very basic plane.

Once a week student for the last two years, and your estimates are absolutely on point! End up spending right around 85 hours, 20k training, plus 1k for the checkride. The last bit was hard! I thought I was ready at 65 hours, but winter storm and various unexpected events set me back for another 20 hours to keep currency and please the new CFI. All the efforts apart, it is truly amazing to finally fly freely on my own!

@georgetown89863 ай бұрын
He is right on. Figure $20k. This is more than reasonable in order to become a private pilot. This is a life long accomplishment and opens many doors in life. Well worth the time and nominal investment. Make sure to buy a Cessna 172/182 shortly thereafter. Solid investments that hold their value well and are conservative with their operating/owning costs.

Actually millions of places to land in an emergency. At least compared to the topography of Greece. I will tell only this, in Greece flying VFR 1500ft over 50 NM of only sea is full normal. It is our operation.
