I interested in starting flying lessons?

Anyone got info on typical costs per lesson (€/£), what to expect in first lesson. how to get PPL. are there written exams etc.. any other info.... cheers!

In the Uk you need a total of 45 hours in your logbook, (although you will probably need considerably more) to apply for your licence, along with the following exams:

Aircraft Technical

Air Law

Meteorological

Human Factors

Navigation

Radio telephony.

General flying test.

Qualifying cross country test.

CAA Class 1 medical certificate around £80 - £100. ( JAR licence - if you intend to fly abroad)

OR Medical certificate from your own doctor (NPPL - if do not wish to fly abroad) - price depends on how greedy your GP is.

All these exams have to be passed within 12 months of your applying for your licence.

Typical cost for all this would be circa 5000 - 5500 Uk pounds

or more, depending on whether you have the flying ability of a bird or a grand piano.

THERE IS A LADY that teaches flying lessons using her 'sea-plane' on Loch Lomon

in northern Scotland.

if you want to do this you had better start saving cos it cost a fortune my bf best mate has just passed his pilot course and has been in Spain for nearly 2 years doing it it cost his man thousands of pounds to let him do it. you have to do maths and all sorts loads of exams r taken place. and he gave up drinking to get there to. he comes home to about 1 a month for a bout 2 days to see family then goes back over o learn to fly.

TO START FLING IT WILL COST AROUND $5500 DOLLARS GIVE OR TAKE A FEW HUNDRED.THIS WILL GIVE A PRIVATE PILOT FOR TWO PEOPLE.THERE ARE MAGAZINE YOU CAN LOOK AT THE BOOK STORE THAT ONLY SALE BOOKS.AND FROM THERE ITS YOUR CHOSE.

some of the teaching pilots will give an hour or so of lessons for a nominal fee to see if you have "the touch" or fly like a brick. but flight lessons cost lots and there are lots of exams to get any of the licenses. but they let you retake them. ha ha ha. it is more than just learning how to fly. it is learning all the other stuff that goes with it. so make sure that you really want to do this and you have the money and try to learn on a tail dragger then you can fly anything with 2 wings
