Important Considerations for the estimated costs of Pilot Training
It is important to note that the training costs for pilot training is difficult to predict owing to the fact that the training frequency among student vary, as does the skill level of students with regard to both flight training and ground preparation.
The more significant cost variable therefore pertains to the flying skill levels of students—students must meet the flying standards of Canadian Multi-engine Class Rating as established by Transport Canada, and as outlined in the Multi-engine Class Rating Flight Test Guide.
