There are many schools that will tell you the firm "cost" of obtaining your private pilot's license only to have you be surprised later. On balance, a typical private pilot license costs in the range of $8,000.00 - $10,000.00. These costs are driven by student needs (more time in the aircraft to skill build for example). For someone considering a private pilot's license, calculate your return on investment (potential career, fun, entrepreneurial opportunity). This is a commitment and should be worth the opportunity cost and investment to you.
