What is the normal rate for obtaining this license?
Also, what are the questions to ask the school before I pick a school? I am going to take another lesson tomorrow and meet with an instructor in that area. I have already logged 10 hours.
Thanks. Any other pointers will be great.
First of all Nobody gets their lic in 40 hours I dont think.......It took me 65 ,,,,, Its also about you...how much you fly...how much you study etc.......But the cheapest way to get in my opinion is how I got mine.........Join a flying club...that has instructors......It could cut the cost in half...It did for me........because you actually are an owner in the clubs planes ,,so you pay half of what renting a plane costs.....
