@cockpit_grind: the commercial needs 250 hours. the private is 40. so 210 hours in between, and at $165 an hour for the plane alone that's $34,650. that part's just rent. nobody quotes you that number when you sign up. 250 is the floor. it isn't the bill. what are you paying an hour? i'm keeping a list of what people actually pay. dm me and i'll send the sheet. #studentpilot #ppl #commercialpilot #flighttraining #aviation
