Flying training costs
WE mention costs throughout the site, but thought it good to put a summary on one page. At Microlight Scotland we charge £125 per flying hour for lessons at Strathaven Airfield. There are no charges for pre-flight or post-flight briefings, instruction notes or VAT. Flying membership of the The Scottish Flying Club is £250 a year. Students must join after their third lesson and can pay £125 for six months. Membership includes all landing fees at Strathaven Airfield, use of the clubhouse and wi-fi etc. Ground school classes for written exams or radio licences are £25 per hour. Written exam fees are £30 per paper, or £140 for all five. GFT and radio licence fees are by arrangement with the examiner. The current CAA fee to issue your licence is £136. A typical student taking 35 hours of flight training to prepare for their licence test will spend £4,375 on training, £125 on club membership, £140 on written exams, £147 for the licence application and around £150 for their GFT. That makes a total of £4,937. Trial lessons are £119 for the One Hour Microlight Experience and £199 for the Extended Microlight Experience. Long after the cost is forgotten, the reward of gaining your pilot's wings will be treasured. |
