Find Out The True Cost Of Your Pilot License - Your Post Solo Flight Training

Bruce Hogan
Flight training to become a pilot is not cheap but it is not an exorbitant price either when you stop and think of what its going to give you. All too often, when an individual is planning to take some type of course, they do not look at the overall picture. They find out what the tuition fee is going to be but forget about all the incidentals. If you do this with your flight-training course, you could end up sorely disappointed. To the point where you cannot complete your course because, you have run out of finances. The tuition gives you a minimum of what you can expect to pay but quite often, it arises above that. For example, you may require or want extra flight time. These are going to cost extra, the same as your books and reading materials for example.

At all times you must keep yourself aware of exactly what the FAA requirements are and ensure that you meet those demands. For example, you may need three hours on instrument training, but somewhere along the way, you are ½ hour short. This will not be something the FAA examiner will overlook. You are then in for a big disappointment. Watch every requirement carefully and make sure that prior to any testing you have the proper hours completed. Nighttime flying is another area that often is forgotten about when attaining the required hours. The next thing you know you get a call from your school telling you that you are short hours and have to make them up or you will not qualify for your test. This means extra money for flight time. Just when you think, you have done it all and paid for it all the unforeseen pops up.

It is the responsibility of the training school to give you everything you need to obtain your license but it is your responsibility to ensure that you have completed all those requirements. Before you can even venture out to cross country solos you must have completed all of the necessary requirements such as various takeoffs and landings, instrument training and navigation.

Even if you have made it through this first segment of your instruction at pretty close to the cost that you counted on, you still need to plan for the remainder of instruction. It is a good idea to perhaps plan of an extra $1,000-$2,000 above the tuition. This way you have the flexibility to pay for the possible hidden costs that could surface, or even buy extra flying time if you feel you need some extra experience.

Talk to other licensed private pilots who have graduated recently. They will give you a good idea of the overall costs, and can perhaps recommend some good flight training schools as well. If you are sure to be financially stable during your training then it means less stress and allows you to concentrate on what you are learning. Most often if a would be private pilot runs out of money before successful completion they give up on their purpose of obtaining a license. This means all of the money they did invest into their training is of no value.
