Hi,
I'm going to start flight training for my private pilots license soon and I just wanted to know what you guys thought about how much my instructor is charging me. He said it could cost anywhere from 200 - 250 dollars a session. Each session will consist of approximately an hour of ground school and 1 1/2 - 2 hours of flying. He says that he is charging $100 for himself and I guess the rest goes to the airplane rental. The airplane that we'll be using is a Cessna 152. I don't know if he's charging a lot or if this is normal. your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- Rene

It depends on where your doing you flight training. Say you were flying out of Chicago, then that would be a great deal. But if your out somewhere in the middle of nowhere then its a little expensive. Remember you get what you pay for. Just because something is cheap doesnt mean its good. Do some research. Call a few flight schools around you and ask them how much everything costs. You can go to www.flightschoollist.com and find a list of flight schools from all over the USA.

Good Luck

Hey, thanks for your reply. I will be doing my training at Long beach airport near Los Angeles. It does seem that they are the cheapest school there but I guess it is true that you get what you pay for.
