Breaking down the hourly costs...

Hi all,


I wanted to post this to get an idea of what the price of a typical flying lesson at the average club is broken down into. I would hazard a guess the majority of PPL students are paying circa £130/hour?

Could someone please tell me what the costs break down into, i.e. fuel, flight instructor rate, maintenance etc. I would really like to find out why it is so expensive and why clubs are making students pay such high prices. (Exclude the 'high cost of fuel' because even 10 years ago it was still around £100/hr for a typical flying lesson!)

Cheers!

Lewis
