[QUOTE="edd_tv, post: 1574194, member: 8098"] 2009-2010. My school rented c-172s with a standard six pack for $70/hour wet. Instructors were $23 an hour. I never learned how to use a 430 till after getting my ppl. My instructor was awesome and she gave me a ton of ground for free. If you bought 10 hour blocks of time they gave a discount as well. I'm over 5500 if you count headset, study course for the written and checkride fees. I'm in with 4 other partners on a 172. We just came out of annual squawk free for about $1700.00.which, in my 4 years with them is about average. Our worst year was last when we had to replace the air box and a tire. That was a $3800 annual, but I did assist the shop to save a couple hours of labor. One of the guys is an A+P so we do most of the small MX items ourselves. We have fixed mothly cost of $90 and rent wet for $75/hr. I have to fly about 3 hours a month to come out ahead from the field I trained at. Which is motivation enough. I'm the same that I could never justify owning outright at this time, but I found these guys and it has worked out great. I flew 53 hours last year, the second highest guy only had 28 hours. They are all retired and fly during the week so it's almost like owning it myself as it's available anytime. But without the cost! [/QUOTE]
