Second thread I started and unfortunately same common theme in asking for advice. I started beginning of August and have spent nearly $2k in lessons. My log book was filling up second page and I thought I was doing good. I then started to add up the totals page and noticed I have only 7.1 hours logged. The reason is that most of my flights have been between .5 and .7 hours. The rest of the time has been ground school. This basically equates to $282/per hour. Is this normal? We usually meet an hour before the flight for ground school and then I pre-flight check the plane and we're airborne between 15-25 minutes later leaving 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of actual flight. At this rate it will be in excess of $12k and 11 months to finish my PPL. Seems a bit long and expensive and wanted to know what anyone else has experienced? I know the rates will go down once I begin to solo and not have the "dual" rate I'm paying now, but just wanted to get people's opinion.
Thanks
