Based on 35 hours that is $11200 (Not that all hours will be dual) but lets just say it is.
Now with renting you never see that money again.
I am considering buying an aircraft but overwhelmed of the costs involved, can anyone give constructive feedback?
My way of thinking is
1) It is an asset
2) You have control over it
So the main question is do I waste the $11-12K on the flight school or go all out and buy and aircraft for my training?
Hmmm is spot on!
Depending on the aircraft type and age, you might be up for $11-12k for the 100 hourly / annual inspection!
