So I have been looking at a couple of local FBO's to begin training on my PPL and received the below breakout of prices from one....
Enrollment Fee = $75
Training Material = $345
Damage Deductible & Liability Insurance = $210
Logbook = $15.95
Headset = $195.00
FAA PPL Written = $150.00
40 Hrs. Ground Instruction = $2,000.00
25 Hrs. Dual Flight Instruction = $4,272.50
20 Hrs. Pre/Post planning/review = $1,000.00
15 Hrs. Solo = $1,813.50
FAA Exam Fee = $325.00
Total = $10,401.95
Couple of questions to those with more knowledge than I have...
For the 40 Hrs of Ground Instruction @ $2,000, can't I take the online/video based ground school provided by an entity such as King? (Figure that would shave off about $1,500 or so.)
Also, does this look like an accurate/fair breakout? I know it is for only 40 hours and most people take more (60-70) but figure it is a starting point....
Thanks in advance for the information.
