Just been doing some cost comparisons with 18 other flying schools around here- and taking the averages of the hire of a Pa28, dual, with one home based landing. There seems to be a wide variation, and whilst it is accepted that instrument fits will vary etc etc- taking the 18 as a average the costs are;
AVERAGE COST of a PA28 dual £181 per hour. (minimum found £135)
AVERAGE COST OF Flying school membership £197 per annum. (minimum found £100 per annum)
I know everyone will come up with cheaper places to fly etc etc. I was just interested in what the industry averages were at the moment.
A 50 hour JAR PPL on average would cost around £10k when allowing for exams etc etc.
But as they say- you can make figures say anything!!!
Safe landings guys.
