Is it that much cheaper to train in the US? DECISION TIME!!!
Can someone tell me if its that much cheaper to train in the States?
I think that once you add all the extra's on to your training abroad its nearly the same price as training in the UK.
I've put a few figures together, I've based these on a 4 week course and the fact that most people need another 5 - 10 hours extra lessons on top of the minimum 45 to complete the PPL. Then additionaly having to pay for a check test in the UK at the local club before you can hire a plane.
These figures are only approx.
JAA PPL 45 hour course = £3000
10 Hours extra lesson's on top of the 45 = £500
Air fare = £300
Accomadation = £400
Food/Drink = £300
Visa's = £100
3 - 4 hour Check test at local club = £400
That's a grand total of £5000!!
What do people think?? Should I just stay in the UK and cycle the 8 miles to my nearest club??
