It's quite reasonable, but not exactly optimal. if I may critique:
7k is a bargain for a PPL while 160 seems a little high for hour building (but obviously you're limited to what's available nearby).
Why 220 hours? You could shave 20 hours off the total and make it 200 hours.
If you already hold an IR then the CPL course is only 15 hours.
I would try to use the same aircraft for IRR and CBIR so I would expect the rate to be the same.
Don't forget to include successful flight tests in your PIC and total times (and flight test and licencing fees in your budget!)
Your PIC hours add up to 114 (10 PPL + 15 IMC + 65 + 24) so you can knock off 20 hours and add in 6 for testing etc. You only need 100.
Your PIC and XC hour building will need to be adjusted slightly and slotted into the training program to reflect the prerequisites of each course.
Follow a few simple rules to make your training easier:
1. Know what you need to log and don't waste flight hours: an ideal flight hour would be PIC cross country. In IMC. At night.
2. Don't learn anything in the airplane. You're not paying by the hour to learn, you're paying to practice. (Learning is free.)
3. Backseat at every opportunity.
4. Chair fly.
And remember this is just a plan. It's what you hope will happen. Reality will jump in and F*ck !!!!! up for you.
