Am I being ripped off? I NEED to do it at one flight school to ensure a standard and high-quality training culture.
20k for your first 50 hours (PPL+Night) does seem a bit expensive. It equates to 400 per hour, rolling in exams and fees etc. For a single engine!
Hour building is closer to 150 per hour which seems reasonable. 15k for an IR (and I assume this is an SEIR as you mentioned MEIR later on) - does seem very expensive - back up to the 350-400 per hour range. Do the instructors all drive Bentleys by any chance? MEP: Does 1000 per hour seem reasonable? No. Same for the MEIR - technically you only need 2 hours in the aircraft but it's always good to budget more. CPL if you've got an MEIR is just 10 hours in an SEP and 5 hours in a complex SEP. Overall it sounds like they have reasonable solo rates and extortionate training rates.
