Blimey!
The Archer you rent is cheap!
Admittedly I didnt factor issue and test fee's as you'd need to pay these wherever in the world you are - no getting away from CAA test fees
but rightly pointed out, if you didnt do the IMC, you wouldn't need to pay the fees!
I did manage to do the IMC in minimum hours.... I was ready for test after 13hrs luckily but obviously still needed the minimum 15.
If you are going the commercial route, as you need to have 150 hrs in your logbook before you start the CPL so theres a fair few hours to be built, for me the difference was about £600 (including CAA fees etc)
I had a look through the pages of Flyer & Pilot magazines and compared a few pircies....
One of the cheapest I found in the UK was for £1875 - includes fuel, VAT, written exams, test fee and landing fees at cranfield!
Another option would be to do it in the US - Ormond Beach do it for £1295
Heres hoping you dont spend too much on beer up to 120 hours EK, I'm sure you'd enjoy it!
