Simply will not happen.

In a hang glider ?

Do the math. Use your own numbers there.

Unless of course you want to fly a Simulator for about 50 hours.

Assuming this a Part 141 school. You need at least 190 hours of flight time. This is assuming that you do everything in the bare minimum amount of time.

140 hours at$72.00 for the plane. $10,800

Again assuming 50 hours in a simulator and I guess the instruction and everything else is free. including the DE.

Don't buy into the marketing hype.

Not to mention that all you will have is a Single Engine Commercial license.

It will cost your a good $30,000 and thats on the way cheap side of things to get a decent amount of instruction and the ratings you will need to make a career of this.

so would it be best to look into an education loan for this? or just do it P/T on the side?

The price for the Instrument rating sounds good.

You may have been quoted that, but I am telling you what reality is.
