Because we are an aero club, you are free to pay as you go, or in lump sums to make discounts applicable. Many people complete their PPLs over time, flying as often as they can afford. Flying is at your convenience.
This estimate is based on 56 hours total time and what we believe to be common and achievable circumstances. However, because flying is competency-based, total cost may vary. All prices are subject to change without notice, include New Zealand Goods and Services Tax and are in New Zealand dollars.
