Really?
On my first search in the USA I found a C172 for $120 which is around £70 an in NZ I found a C172 for $160 that's about £60 and those are standard hour per hour rates not block rates. The costs of instructors and staff are alot less, airport charges are non existant if anything and rates are alot less. Yet modualr FTOs solely based in the UK still manage to come in at much less for their course costs. I possibly am missing something, what is it?
