CFI training cost?

Just fill it up with helium and tell 'em it's an airship.

a blow-up doll.

I don't think that flying with a blow up doll is a legitimate way to
enter the mile high club though. so be careful how you log that flight
lest embarrassing questions get asked.

LOL! Yeah, 'cause if you get ramp checked, you're NEVER gonna live that
down! (And don't ask the guy if he wants to go for a ride!)

Ballpark? hmm $1500-$2000? just a guess.

Excellent! That's well inside the ballpark! (Fortunately, I've got
enough non-aviation instruction experience that I shouldn't have to get over
those sorts of basic jitters.)

This can't be from VFR ASEL to CFI. Are you talking from instrument rated to
CFI?

Most of your "non-aviation" instruction experience does not
include signing on the bottom line and risking the death of
the student.

Well, I can think of equestrian training,
a surprisingly dangerous sport that parents
happily sign their young daughters up for.

That would fit my situation... CP ASEL IA to CFI.

Hey, all. For purposes of ballparking my budget next year, I'm wondering
what it costs Joe Average Pilot, CP-ASEL-IA to get his CFI these days.

Any new CFIs care to discuss? Thanks!

Depends. If you already have a commercial, it's not THAT expensive. I
paid around $1200 for ground instruction and flight time. Then again, I
did my commercial in the right seat, which saved a lot of time learning
maneuvers. In other words, I didn't need to learn how to fly, I just
needed to learn how to teach. I suspect my CFI undercharged me on
ground instruction, because he learned a lot from me about the
maintenance side of things and our lessons were usually fairly long.

Course, this was five years ago. Not sure how prices would compare now.

Good basic information, everybody! It matches my general expectation, so
I'm in range. HAVE A SAFE AND GLORIOUS WEEKEND!

I'm hoping to start on my CFI in a few months. Anyone have some good
references for study material? Examples of setting up lesson plans, etc?
