Private Glider Checkride (11/05 in Boulder, CO) = $250
Private Airplane Checkride (7/06 in Santa Rosa, CA) = $350
Instrument Rating Checkride (8/07 in Santa Rosa, CA) = ???

I will let you know about my instrument checkride cost soon. I am taking my checkride within the next two weeks.

I agree that anything over $400 is rediculous!
