I started my PPL on the 29th March and have 15 hours in up to now.
I estimated costs at around £5000 for the flying and allowed approx another £1000 for extras such as landings, medical, books etc.
At this stage of the game, my estimates are looking on the low side although I have been doing circuits so that has upped the costs but once I get back to the hourly rate without additional landings, it may bring it back a little.
Current expenditure is around £2500 but that includes books, medical, additional landings at £6 each and some groundschool and exam fees.
There is of course the unknown factor of how many hours it takes to get to my skills test and I have started to break it gently to she who must be obeyed just in case.
I am at the raised eyebrow stage with her at the minute so I am hoping it doesnt rise too dramatically or else..
