That tallies with my overall costs,I reckon around £7500 for flying 53 hours plus £500 for the books,equipment,headset and club membership etc.
I think it is important that students know the real cost as you can look at 45 hrs x£145 and arrive at £6500 which is £1500 short of what it actually cost me.
At some places landing fees can add quite a bit!
