johnm Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 All instructors are volunteers to the club. Annual club membership is $457. It cost me around $4000 to obtain my pilots certificate and cross country / passenger endorsement.We also have a theory instructor who donates his time. WOW - $ 457 per annum sub ................ sounds like a golf club gympie aero club takes the view that they would rather have the person rather than the money (only $ 60 / annum sub) (the club gets income from hangar fees so the sub is not critical for funds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I paid 3 pounds 15 shillings for my first TIF, but that was back when you could buy a new Cessna 172 for around $10grand.(about 1961) So the fact that it cost me close on a weeks wages at that time, I made a point of staying good mates with the bank managers son who lived up the road, as his dad owned a Tiger Moth and took me flying occasionally if I prompted him enough:amazon:.

scre80 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 What's everyone's thoughts on paying $220/h Private hire for a 1000h+ j230? Bit steep hey!Would $180/h sound closer to the going rate? I would say yes, the one at our club us around $145 for members 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm glad I learned in the 80's cost $4k to get a full ppl, but $4k in the 80's was still a lot of money it's probably cheaper now in real terms. Aldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
