There was a thread a while ago about charging, at the moment I'm paying
$250 an hour for a 150.   That's dual, they won't let me go solo again
for a while.    The main charge is something called a "learning
disability surcharge" has anybody heard of this?

Fark, you get a Mooney dual for $214 here in Perth.

  If you pay that much for a Mooney, then how much less for a C150???

BTW, I s'pose I should have said "club member's price, ex GST".  But
there's no GST applicable to certain approved training programs as you
would be well aware.  Non-member dual trg Mooney is $243 incl.

152A equivalent rates are heaps cheaper.  Go to www.racwa.asn.au and
hit the "club aircraft/hire rates" button at the top.

152A - member ex GST, dual trg $156
152A - non-member, dual trg $181

Hope this helps

That sounds like an individually directed, personal thing!    Do you refuse
to accept directions or something?   Have you whizzed off your instructor's
spouse?  Run over their cat?

If you have to keep paying that sort of money for a 150 you'd be better off
buying your own!

 I reckon.....I did my CSU/retract endorsement in a Debonair, and that
was only $230 an hour with instructor....

$250 an hour dual for a C150. You're being robbed.

More to the point. Just which Flying School is charging such outrageously high
fees
They need to be reported to the Dept of Fair Trading. Either that or they're
trying
to show this student pilot the door.
