I reckon my PPL is going to cost me around £9k->10k. That's all in, books, headset, whizz wheel, tests, tuition, hire everything.
I've not exactly bean counted it or totted up everything and it's only a gut feel. I could've done it cheaper in a cheaper aircraft but I like what I fly
This is roughly 45 hours dual @ 180 ph (yeah, it's not all dual but there's contingency for other stuff like landing fees) = £8100
Books \ tests \ RT Tuition = £600
Headset \ whizz wheel \ pilots bag \ kneeboards etc = £400 (thanks ebay)
I have yet to pay for check ride test, radio license, ppl license (if I ever get there) so I'd budget another £500 for that.
PPL all in for £6k ? You need to pass in record time and have some fairly cheap plane hire. I think I'll have my check ride done by 45 hours - but if I don't then there's probably another grand to go on there.
