PPL (45 hrs) £4000 (3 weeks). .130 hrs building @ £50/hr: £6500 (3 weeks). .CPL (25 hrs) £4500 (4 weeks). .FIC (31 hrs) £6000 (4 weeks). .Medical £400. .ATPL Gnd School £2000 (?). .ATPl Exams £800

Approx total £24200

Not to mention accom, resits, exams fees, extra training, flts to US. You should be able to get cheaper hr building and save a few quid here and there but essentially it'll cost you at least £20,000 if it all goes to plan. If you're lucky you can stay with friends while you study, find a cheap group aircraft to fly but also remember loss of earnings. All this for £10 per hour! And if that didn't put you off you'll probably make a fine instructor!

PS To those of you who have done it cheaper - great - please don't argue the toss over marginal savings.
