Pilot training cost calculator

Plan your training budget.

Pick a school and see what pilot and helicopter training there comes to: the school's own course fee, a year of living costs near it and the visa and exam allowance. 19 schools in 8 countries.

What’s in your estimate

Costs we include

The course fee of the school you pick, twelve months of living costs near it from a shared room to your own flat, and a buffer for visas, medicals, exams, books and insurance.

Costs that vary

Extra ratings (multi-engine, instrument, instructor), retakes, flight-hour overruns, currency moves and personal travel. We discuss these in the consultation.

Why these are ranges, not promises

The course fee is what the school publishes today, so it moves when the school changes its prices. Living costs and the visa and exam allowance are our own estimates, reviewed yearly, and how you live decides where in the range you land. So this is a range, not a quote.
