Although keeping costs as low as possible is our mission, It's not our top priority. Your safety is and your educational training costs can vary significantly due your personal progress including weather and other variables. It's not unreasonable to double your budget if your exceeding the minimum requirements set forth by the FAA. It's our duty to inform you, that you could continue investing in your education beyond the expected budget, and may never meet the standards necessary to graduate. Threes a reason why less than 0.1% of the global population are pilots.
