Well, after reading all the bumpf during the middle of last year and looking at all the costs I started my PPL in Nov'06. I got my PPL on exactly 45 hrs in August so thought I would share exactly how much it cost & how many cancelled lessons were involved.
The costs include everything from membership fees, exams, headsets, landing fees for X-country etc from start to finish. The doc can be found here:

Here is a list of cancelled lessons. This includes all cancellations where I had less than 48 hrs notice (i.e. weather, illness, work etc).

I have also written an automated log book which autocalculates costs / hrs etc which I will share with you all but need to put some instructions on it first
Cheers
Steve
