Just for your information, since you mentioned the cost of flying in
another post as well: The certificate will cost you something like 4000
or 5000 dollars spread over 6 months or a year.

That cost sounds a bit low, or maybe I live in the wrong part of the
country. The flying schools say the average student should expect their
training to cost anywhere from $6500 to $9500. Here are their links:

And wouldn't stretching the training out that much actually work against
getting your certificate at the lowest cost?
