Private License Program Fees

[Maverick227]

Greetings and well wishes to everyone at X-Pilot.com,

I am a retired Army Veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan wars with many rotations to combat.  During my career I was honored by a few great Air Force and Army pilots with my first true taste of flying, while onboard military aircraft.  The bug was started.

I have met with a local Certified Ground Instructor at the Monarch Air Office in my town.  He briefed me on the price, allowed me to sit in the airframe they use for the offered training program and help set expectations for skills needed upon completion of the course.  As a result of our meeting I purchased X-Plane 11 and all the necessary controls to properly simulate flight planing, air navigation and landing with the Cessna 172 SP -NAVIII (G1000).  

The question I wish to answer pertains to the cost the Ground Instructor quoted me.

$8,438.95

Can anyone confirm this is a fair price?

Included in the package offered by Monarch Air are the following:

Cessna 172SP Nav III (Dual) 20 hours

Cessna 172SP Nav III (Solo) 15 hours

Cessna Private Pilot Kit (CBI)

Ground school 10 hours

Cessna 172SP Nav III Information Manual

Communications Headset

Computer Test Preparation Review

FAA Flight Medical Certificate

FAA Written Exam

Cessna 172SP Nav III (Rating Check Ride)

FAA 

Examiner Fee

I look forward to everyone's feed back.  

Sincerely,

Bobby

I can confirm this is a fair price. Latch on to the opportunity and enjoy the experience!

Private Pilot training for less than $10k in a G1000 C172 is a steal. Enjoy!
