Other Things You Should Budget For
Approach and Landing Fees
Each flight includes a free visual or instrument approach and landing at Bristol International Airport. You will need to budget for other approach and landing fees. We will not add anything to the costs, which are set by the Airports. They vary from Airport to Airport, so it is difficult to predict exactly what you should budget.
These are typical costs for standard courses:
PPL course £600
6 hrME course £165
15 hr CPL course £280
25 hr CPL course £420
28 hr ME/CPL course £400
15 hrs of IR flying £330
25 hrs of IR flying £530
Flight Tests
In addition to your approach and landing fees, you’ll need to budget for aircraft hire (at the solo rate) and the examination fee. These fees are set by the CAA each April and last for a year. The current rates are on the CAA website; there is a link from our website: www.bristol-aviation.net. The 2009 rates are as follows:
Private Pilot Licence Skills Test £185
Multi-Engine Piston (Landplane) Class Rating Test £192
Commercial Pilot Licence Skills Test £762
Instrument Rating Skills Test £762
If you choose to do the combined MEP and CPL course, there will only be one test, so you’ll save on aircraft hire, approach and landing fees and the test fees (a little over £500 total); as well as the stress!
Odds and Ends
There is a list of local accommodation on our website.You need flight equipment such as a headset, navigation equipment, kneeboard, stopwatch.You will lastly need to pay the CAA to issue your brand new licence.
