cost for private pilot lic

[weismand]

Have been wanting to learn how to fly for a long time, just wondering a general idea on cost to obtain lic for a single engine plane. Just recreational use but i would proably take some 4 or 5 hour trips. I am in southern indiana if that matters. Thanks for any replies

$10,000

A different way to budget the cost is as ongoing expenses rather than lump sums; such as:

During training, budget for an average cost of ~$1000/month.

Once you have the license you may want to budget ~$500/month if you intend to stay active but only rent.

Who was this directed to. I think everyone posted an average cost and what to expect to pay for a PPL.

In the upper right of your display locate the "Display Modes" drop down menu and switch to the threaded mode. The resulting tree structure should show you the post he responded to. You'll probably want to switch back to linear mode afterwords.
