| Re: What amount of hours did it take you?? Private : 40-something before I was heading for the ride. I don't remember how much, but the 152 was going for $38 an hour when I started, and eventually it went up to $45 an hour.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Dual was $12-15 an hour!! I'd say between $2800 and $3000, including charts, supplies, headset, etc, etc. Instrument : I had about 160 hours of flight time, but only 17 hours of instrument flight instruction!! It can be done!!!! |

 | Re: What amount of hours did it take you?? PPL took me about 80, and I was around 170 when I got my instrument. I took my dear sweet time since I was paying as I went and working full time. I started out flying twice a week, twice a day. Then money got tight and I dropped back to twice a week. Then I had to take about a two week break b/c I couldn't even get time off to fly (holidays in a theme park suck). When it got to my instrument, I had to take a month or two off due to lack of $$$. I think I probably paid close to $7000-8000 for everything (books, medical, training, time building). Finding someone that you can buddy up on safety pilot duties can save you a bundle on the IR. |

| Re: What amount of hours did it take you?? 35.1 hours for private Didn't really keep track of the instrument ... but probably in the neighborhood of 50 hours (had a problem with a CFI banging up a couple airplanes and then disapearing on me! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) |
