Actual pilot's license cost, down to the penny

I posted mine last month and I think it was around $8K too.

About $23,000. Took around 95 hours. And Chicago prices are not cheap. The plane was $125 an hour and the instructor was $55 an hour.

The amount of hours is what drove your costs.

I was slow, too. My rates were 60 wet and 30 for the CFI. 90 hours was all I gave him. I was the problem for the first 50 hours, his wallet was the problem for the next 40.
