Cost Summary

Completed PPL recently and figured I’d post the cost summary. Took about 1 year and ended in 10/26. This is Kansas City metro.

Flight + CFI at 77.5 hours (59.1 RX + 18.4 PIC): $19,093

Ground school at community college: $399

Check ride: $800

Insurance: $352

Written: $175

Fore Flight: $427

Headset: $1100

Books, charts, E6B, plotter: $250

TOTAL: $22,596

Wet rate for Archer is $190/hour and includes $5/hour discount for paying in $2500 blocks. Rate was $170/hour one year ago but at 9 gal/hour they had to increase the fuel cost. CFI is $65/hour.

if there‘s any costs to watch out for, it’s the long cross-country as that can easily be $600.
