$200 ???
Please can someone confirm more details of this, because this is what I recieved in email from EAA-fly.com.
And to be honest, that put me off the whole hour building project in the US.

Cost of the flight review is difficult to predict.
It ultimately depends on how many hrs ground and flight instruction you require.
Preparation will obviously reduce the cost.
If, just for the sake of the discussion, we assume:
•6 hrs ground ( 2 hrs G1000, 4 hrs Flight review) $420
•6 hrs flight ( DA 40 FP/CS) $1,476
•For a total of $1,896"
If this is the quote from EAA-Fly then stay away from them. They are ripping you off !!
For a biannual review, it consists of 1 hour flight and 1 hour ground school (most schools dont even do the ground school, but they should) -- Pay no more than $200 MAXIMUM.
Go next door to NAC and do it, they wont rip you off, ive done many reviews there. Also REX AIR is upstairs, and London Aviation up the street. EAA-Fly is very expensive, the aeroplanes are very nice though! but in my opinion not worth the extra cash.
I agree with with the hour building in the USA, ive met tons of people who slag pilots off who do flying in the States, and I honestly dont know why. I find it harder to fly in America than I do in the UK, I personally took a 1 hour checkout flight at Multiflight after I did my PPL in the USA, and had no problems whatsoever, been flying over here for years, its boring compared to the USA but its flying
. Each to their own I guess!
