As an FBO I have watched several attempt and several fail at flying. First of all it is (the act of flying) easier than driving a car. The book work is what stops most. People want the information handed to them and the bookwork, understanding the rules and regs is not fun. It too takes a little knowlege of the mechanics of things. you are on this site so I don't think that will be a problem. A lot of FBOs will quote you a cost to learn price based on 40 hours of instruction. This price is generally around $3,500 - $4,000. Don't believe it. I have only seen one student do it in 40hr. That was twenty odd years ago and the aviation world is much more complicated than it was in the Champ and Cub days. Figure between 55 -65 hours if you fly a couple of times a week. More if you fly a couple of times a month. Some FBOs give discounts for renting the aircraftvin "Block time". I feel too you will learn more actual aeronaughtical knowlege in a Cessna rather than a Piper ( I have a Piper ) A Cessna is a little more dependant on your input especially on the rudder. A Cessna breaks in a stall a little harder and alows you to learn what a stall really is too. I am taking up to much space with this. Feel free to write incredibill@hotmail.com.
