I am not a finacial representative or admisions officer for Ari-Ben "Aviator".

I asked for the information you inquiered about and Mike gave me these estimates to relay to you.
For specific details you need to talk to mike or mary.
Contact information:
Micheal Cohen
3800 Saint Lucie blvd.
Fort Pierce, FL 34946
1-800-635-9032
(772)-466-4822

These are Approximate numbers:
tuition $43,208.75
VA reimbursement $24,728.25
out of pocket expense $18,498.00

including:
190 hrs multi 55 solo
10-15 hrs single engine
inst., multi +single commercial, MEI, CFI, CFII

This does not include:
my housing is around $500.00/month incudles utilities
I pay extra for the huge gym by the house $80/3 months

Other costs include books, checkrides $300/ per attempt payed by you to the examiner, written exams at $70 dollars per exam, pilot supplies, and general living expenses (food, car, gas, entertainment).

I would recomend figuring out what you need per month including rent ,food, supplies, checkrides, etc. and add that to tuition costs minus the VA money and that should give you a ball park figure of total out-of-pocket expense and the loan amount you will need.
