"Private - $15,950 - 74.0 Hours - 3 months all in a 172"
$215 an hour for a 172. Do you think it's worth it? Knowing what you know now, would you do it all over?

Yes I would do it all over again - but the second time around I would have a lot lower time - and therefore it would be less costly
a C/172 at DCA runs 99/hour - with Instructor and Fuel Surcharge its 156/hour.
The 15,950 I paid for Private also included ground school, ground work w/instructor, a few trips in the Frasca and the ACR charge at the end of Course.
