You don't have to be a millionaire to fly, you'll just feel like one!
The investment it takes to learn to fly is comparable with other recreational activities. For the cost of a used
snowmobile, a small fishing boat or a brief trip to a warmer climate you can have the entire continent at your fingertips.
In broad terms the entry level certificates require an investment of:
Sport Pilot $3500
Recreational Pilot $5000
Private Pilot $7000
Shown below is a reasonable estimate of the financial investment required to earn a Sport Pilot
Certificate. You can help reduce the expense by flying regularly and preparing for lessons.
