Default Todays Cost of getting a PPL

In a previous article, Alan Gerber said:
What Paul is saying corresponds with my attitude during training. If it
takes a few more hours to get my PPL, those are hours that I'm *flying*.
It's not like you can't start flying until after you pass the checkride -
I spent my dual time *flying*, which was the whole point of even starting
the training.


Exactly. Sure, you want to find aircraft that aren't too expensive to
fly so you get more hours for your AMU, but if it takes 75 hours instead
of 60, what's the problem? It's time flying, and that's what you want the
license for.

I've got to admit that sometimes when I was supposed to be training, I
would just go out flying for fun.
