Hi new here
Always wanted to learn to fly. We are pretty well off now. So thought it was maybe time.
But still deciding if I can afford it. no one can...but they do.
Any insight into costs...especially ongoings is what I’m after. Then I will probably commit to training. Obviously many recreational flyers don’t own...but rent...so multiple participation models.
My interest is family (5 of us) travel to remote areas and Ariel photography as well.
Training seems to be about $10k
A Cessna 206 ~$150k-500k
Not sure insurance, or other running and hangering costs or landing fees etc.
Just interested and trying to do my homework.
$20k a year? For 100hours?
Maybe I need to sit down with a pilot ✈️
considering training

Good insights. Nothing scary there. I’m well aware this is a money pit about passion.
