Checkride on Wednesday, total costs from nothing to PPL ended up being approximately 9500 dollars. About 7500 paid to my flight school, and about 2000 for A20s, iPad, foreflight, and miscellaneous supplies.

Nice job. That will definitely be less than the average.

No, still available if you look for a school with them. My daughter did her initial training in a 150, I started mine in a 172 and switched to a 152 when I realized I was just wasting my money.

A lot of schools around here are using D20's and D40's. Very nice, but a little pricey for my tastes and IMO not really necessary for initial primary training.

I do agree about having your own headset though. I found 2 Bose X's on ebay for less than 1/2 price, still use them.
