Flight training costs
WE mention costs throughout the site, but thought it good to put a summary on one page.

At Sportflight Scotland we charge £110 per flying hour for lessons at Strathaven Airfield. There are no charges for pre-flight or post-flight briefings, instruction notes or VAT.

Flying membership of the The Scottish Flying Club is £250 a year. Students must become full members after their third lesson, but can join for six months for £125. Membership includes textbook, logbook and all landing fees.

Ground school classes for written exams or radio licences are £25 per hour. Written exam fees are £25 per paper. GFT and radio licence fees are by arrangement with the examiner. The current CAA fee to issue your licence is £137.

A typical student taking 35 hours of flight training to prepare for their licence test will spend £3,850 on training, £250 on club membership, £125 on written exams, £137 for the licence application and around £150 for their GFT. That makes a total of £4,362.

Trial lessons are £99 for the One Hour Sportflight Experience and £189 for the Extended Sportflight Experience.

Long after the cost is forgotten, the reward of gaining your pilot's wings will be treasured.
