Progress to Becoming a Private Pilot


After today's flight I have 47.5 hours of flight time.  Up until this point, we have been able to pay for a majority of the training out of pocket, due to the fact we are in a situation without any living expenses and still DINKS (Dual Income No Kids).  As I finish my licenses I hope to share with you about estimated costs and then my actual costs.  I think it's helpful to get a clear picture of what you're getting yourself into, because it is high cost; however, if you're able to stick with it and make it to the airlines, it will eventually pay off.  Right now when I fly solo, it costs just about $140/hour.  Obviously more for when I have an instructor with me.  Here's a couple pictures from today, with MSP down below.
