I was paying an average of $230 Canadian for 1.3 hrs + a flat rate fuel surcharge of $30 per hr.
Note: There is only a 10 cents difference between the Canadian & U.S Dollar. Outrageous!!! AND IT WAS IN A C-150
Wow thats an insane amount. I was paying $55/hr for a c-150 in Daytona...not at riddle, but at a small FBO there. Add an instructor to that and it would be around 75-80. I'd say anything over $100 for a c-150 with instructor is too much. I'm sure thats an impossible price to find in canada. You mentioned toronto in a previous post...if thats where you live u might want to look into Buffalo NY. thats probably an hr and a half drive, but if you could fly for half the price it might be worth it....just a thought
