Cost of Private Pilots Training

[infoman]

Thanks for all the replies...spelling... it happens. As for the 1990's cost... the school I worked at was about 15 % higher than most schools in the LA basin but S. CA is expensive. The flat fee program could have an advantage.

Again thanks for the responses.

Consider buying a C-150
15-17k
operating costs about $62 per hour
hire a free lance instructor
you break even around 300 to 350 hours

Sorry,
I meant 15-17k for Private, Commercial, and Instrument.

Redbird at San Marcos is a pretty new FBO/School that has a heavily simulator based program. They have a flat fee of $9500 for a PPL flying G1000 C172's.

I don't know how they get away with this but you cannot use any simulator training towards Private Pilot License..

I think they have some specific approvals from the FAA for this.
