How much on average is it for flying lessons ?

Hi , I am 16 years old i would love to become a Airline pilot when im older.... I live near a International Airport and they have a flying club.

just asking how much on average is it for flying lessons ?

My mum said i might get the money from her for Christmas ....so i would like to know how much that would be ?

thanks

If your talking about doing lessons for an NPPL or PPL, I'm currently doing this and I went through this stage.

The cheapest option is to do your lessons in a Cessna 150, this costs £120 per lesson (per hour) and you need to do a minimum of 45 hours flying before you can get your license.

But if you pay for the full course in one payment you get 10% off and if you pay for the full course in 2 payments you get 5% off.

The more expensive and probably better option is to do your training in a Tobago TB10 its is £136 per lesson (hour).

On top of the lessons no matter which plane you train in you have to pay for ground studies, written exams, the IMC test, the radiotelephony test and the PPL skill test this comes up to approx £350 ontop of your flying lessons.

So for the Cessna 150 it would be, all together, about £5,287 including a years membership.

The only main difference between the Cessna 150 and the Tobago TB10 is that the Cessna 150 has 2 seats and is cheaper to loan, buy and run and the Tobago TB10 has 4 seats and is more expensive to loan, buy and run.

Hope I helped. I went through this so this is speaking from first hand experience. Good luck :)

Presumably you are in the UK. Flying lessons cost about 100 pounds per hour, plus 20 or so for ground instruction. A good student can solo in about 10 hours and can get a private license in about 50 hours, but the national average is closer to 65.. Including ground school, books, flying lessons, medical exam and test fees, figure on spending about 7000 quid. To become a commercially rated multi-engine pilot the cost is almost 50k.
