I know there's ground school and I heard around 70 hours of flying. Can you tell me how much all this would cost for a small airplane like a Cessna 150?


Answer
The cost depends HEAVILY on the time you actually take to finish and the hourly costs for the aircraft and instructor. A Cessna 152 can rent from $59/hr at a flying club to over $70/hr at a pricey flight school.

An example cost break down if your training was completed in the FAA MINIMUM required time (40 hours not 44) with some averaged rental rates:

* Third Class Medical $65
* 40 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $2,480
* 30 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $900
* Misc pilot supplies (see list) $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250

Private Pilot cost = $4,065


A student that finishes their training closer to the national average of 65 hours flight time will pay approximately

* Third Class Medical $65
* 65 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $4,030
* 55 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $1,650
* Misc pilot supplies $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250

Private Pilot cost = $6,365

Many schools advertise a price for the PPL, but that only cover the 40 hour student. If they go over that, then it costs more. Some areas of the country or certain airport have very pricey rental rates. Shop around before you commit. Check into any flying clubs in your area as they are often less expensive as they have no staff or overhead to pay for.

What is the cheapest way to send used books abroad?

I am doing a book drive to school and want to send the books collected abroad. Is there a cheapper shipping service other than USPS? I am in the US.


Answer
If you are shipping the books to a single address out of the US, you
should be eligible for a M bag rate. It is the absolutely cheapest rate but most clerks don't offer it as a suggested service as it requires certain paperwork and they are under the gun to keep the wait time in line down.

Go to USPS. COM and search for international rates for the country where you want to ship. You should find an m bag rate.
