Cost of PPL
Well I just added it all up and it was more than I thought it was. I got my ticket on Monday right at 50 hours. It cost me just over $9500 and that doesn't include the examiner fee of $300 and the random stuff I bought like study guide, headset, kneeboard, Cessna Pilot kit for the 141 school, etc.
So I would say that all in all it cost me about $10,500. Now it is on to multi and instrument. In the grand scheme of things someplace like ATP that you get everything except your PPL in 90 days for around $50K isn't that far out of site.
