Going to a smaller part 61 all the way to CFII, I would think you could stay under $50k. Maybe even less if you're in a lower COL area and manage to minimize cost by using flying clubs and that sort of thing.
That's my plan, but I'll be training full time if I can get the money together.
My kids have moved out and I'm ready for a career change. Planning to downsize the house to pay for training and let my wife support me until I'm making money again. Just have to convince her it's a good idea, lol.
So that's another option besides ATP.
Folks who have gone all the way through at a regular 61 school (not ATP), how much did it cost you to get zero to CFI, or at least zero to commercial?
