What is the average price for ground school?

Answer 1

There are a number of ways you can go to get the ground school portion of your private pilot rating out of the way. You can take an inexpensive junior college course, you can sign up for a course on-line, you can attend a two day cram course, you can go an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at your nearest airport, you can attend a full immersion, fully integrated (ground school and flight training) training course, etc. Not sure what a junior college course would cost, but ground schools alone seem to be in the $200-$300 range. One thing I would recommend is to stay away from the cheaper courses that simply teach you how to pass the test. If you're going to fly, you need to learn and understand the basics, not just how to pass the test. Good luck in your endeavors.
