Please Note: The average time taken to achieve the required standard at the private level is around 65 hours total training time (dual & solo). It is much more realistic to budget on the fact that your training will probably be somewhere around this time, rather than closer to the legal minimum time required of 40 hours. People learn to fly at quite differing rates of progress and this makes it very difficult to state training costs precisely. However, the Royal Victorian Aero Club asserts that it will make every effort to keep your training costs to the minimum possible for the standard required.
