![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve posted, hell my post might even be on the 1st page still, about getting a PPL for next to nothing…and I think, what would I do if I Could find someone to teach for free and I could get it with the Absolute Bare minimum of costs…Then what?.The Cheapest Plane to rent in my area goes for $90 an Hour Wet…So for a fun filled day of flying your looking at a Full Days pay(assuming I actually had a job)… It’s alot like Motorsports…“Cheap” entry level Racing is still gonna cost you about $25,000 just to get started… Lessons are expensive, and Aircraft aren’t cheap…even “cheap” aircraft are expensive… People who make around to over $100k a year… “Successful” People, who have a large disposable income…again, i.e. Live for today BAAAABY as I can’t take my earnings six feet under and know whether I will enjoy it or not.įlying, Specifically GA flying is something that is in the realm of Doctors, Lawyers, etc…i.e. If I waited, I probably would have dribbled the money into some other mundane hobby like coin or stamp collecting and still not be where I am today in my very short flying career, so no regrets here. There is no question about it, flying is expensive, and will continue to be so, however I am of a believer, if you have to ask the price, you cannot afford it.įlying is no different, if I really sat down and tallied up all my expenses between my training, and money put into my Sundowner, fuel, maintenance cost and so on, I probably could have come close to buying a Cirrus had I waited Soooo, I continue to be in denial and not ask the cost. As long as birds continue to fly, mankind will continue to look up to them. I think the fantasy of flight will always live on. What do you think about the future of flying, especially with rising fuel prises? From 1980 to 2006, the number of certified pilots has dropped over 27 percent (from 827,000 to 597,109).
