I am posting this thread in hopes that some of you on here that are pilots could offer me some knowledge or opinions. Ever since I was a kid I have always wanted to fly planes. Well, I'm starting to get older now (not old, but older) and want to accomplish some of the things that I have always wanted to do.
This morning I did some reasearch for a flight school at an airport local to me and I am 95% certain that I will begin to take my flight lessons this spring. Hopefully I would be able to afford to do my 50 hours in a relatively short time, provided that finances aren't a problem.
I just have a few questions...
1)Is $150/hr (avg based on my calculations) a fair price tag?
2)Once I have my license, what is usually the going rate to rent a plane?
3)Is the cost worth it if I would not be able to afford to rent a plane and fly more than a few times a year?
As I said above, I have always wanted to be a pliot, and would love to have the finances to take the private license further and get IFR, and multi-engine and ultimately passenger cert.
Any thoughts on this to help in my desicion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
