    Cost of PPL training?

    JoseCuervo, I actually did find a guaranteed ppl price at one place out of Caldwell Idaho I believe. Think it was around 8k. My grandpa who I flew with growing up actually told me before he passed away it was cheaper to buy a Taylorcraft. Something to look into, but I might have to see how...

    Cost of PPL training?

    My local airport charges $6,930 total cost estimate for PPL training in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk.

    Looking into PPL

    Thanks everyone. This was the most persuading reply, I don't need anything higher than 3rd class at this point in time. I don't need to have any flaws on my flight record before I even start flying, if I was unable to pass 1st or 2nd class. Just 3rd class for now. Casey Bond

    Looking into PPL

    I'm 32 years old and grew up flying with my grandpa. I have fond memories of doing rolls, loops, hammer heads, and just flying around. He passed just over a year ago and I realize how much I took it for granted flying around with him. He was very knowledgeable and skilled pilot he did...
