I've read around £8k all in is what a lot of folk end up paying by the time they are finished. Around central Scotland, anything up to £200 an hour seems to be the going rate for flight time with an instructor.
Have wanted to do it for years myself but never got the courage up to commit to the spending... Flew some gliders a few times, that was much cheaper but not the same.
I reckon I am around £7k in the hole.
Average cost per hour with instructor is £130 per hour. If you're doing Citcuits/touch-n-gos then it's even more, as Newcastl is about £10 per T&G and more to-land (I dont recall current figures)
Still worth every penny though
