Flying licence?

shepthedog

Might not be the correct place to post this but just wondering does anyone know where or how much it is to begin flying lessons? What is needed for a licence etc?

been looking at that myself. is a bit pricey depending how quick u want to get it done.
the national flight center offer the private pilots licence from weston airport (in leixlip i think).

You need 45 hours of flight minimum @ €145 per hour which is the bulk of the cost.
There's also the ground classes and materials etc.. but they're not too expensive.

If your down cork way its a bit cheaper €110 euro (save at least €1500).

Anyone know any cheaper locations???

I've attached the info from the national flight center for any interested ppl. (and no i don't work for them)

Ulrtraflight Flight Training in Abbeyshrule, €90 per lesson, €50 for trial flight. They use an Urban Air microlight aircraft, looks impressive.

Very reputable company and far cheaper than studying in Ireland ,

Very busy Airport so plenty of radio/ nav practice, and plenty of planes to choose from , weathers great and surf's always up

Prices at the time were amazing but check the site to see what they are now , and there is accommodation available in the Airport grounds (hostel / own room)

And grouping your flying lessons in one go is by far the best way to do it , rather than every weekend in expensive Ireland , which adds to the thinking that you should go abroad if your that interested.
