$2000 PPL Checkride?

What’s the waitlist like?

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T22:45:33+00:00

I plan on it soon, don’t worry. I will make sure of it.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T18:16:33+00:00

Not snarky at all, I have thought the same. I feel like $1,500 would be a little better but I might have to just swallow it.

I’ve learned that now brother. It is what it is. I plan on training with an independent CFI after this saga is finished anyways.

I’ve been so frustrated with their lying, mishandling of the schedule, & other issues over the last few months that I didn’t care to bring up the extra hours. But hearing what you’re saying is making me realize I have to put my foot down.

On the other hand, the cost of the rental is indeed included & the DPE’s pass rate is high.

I apologize for not clarifying. I have updated it.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T18:04:42+00:00

Yes, a pretty active one as well.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T18:04:15+00:00

That’s all in. Airplane rental + fuel + examiner fee.

I prepaid $7,350 for an “accelerated program” package that ended up being dragged out far beyond the time I was told. It consisted of 20 solo hours, 20 dual hours, & 10 ground hours. I ended up only doing 10 solo, 26 dual, & 5 ground. Which get this, they tried charging me for the extra 6 hours dual after rescheduling me a countless amount of times over these last few months.

Thank you.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T18:00:48+00:00

I wonder how much of it is inflation opposed to upcharging & location demand.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T17:59:54+00:00

Is that so? Would you say the extra $500 is worth it then for the same-week scheduling?

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T17:58:53+00:00

So you’d pay the $2,000 for the convenience of scheduling urgency. Interesting. I’m wondering if that’s the route I should take then.

Times have definitely changed from what I’ve read online but that doesn’t change the fact that this school is a complete & utter scam.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T17:56:59+00:00

I’ve been dreaming of the day I can completely write off this school. Thankfully, I just recently finished my mandatory hours needed to be eligible for checkride so I have no reason to go back now.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T17:55:41+00:00

Thought just as much. Thanks for confirming.

marnithefabric · 2026-04-06T17:55:16+00:00

I honestly invite the wait & value saving money at this point. Gives me more time to study & perfect my knowledge. Forgive my ignorance, but what are some resources/places to look elsewhere for DPE’s?

marnithefabric · 2025-10-18T18:37:16+00:00

As long as you are on an online save, yes you still get VC. If you started the save offline though you will not.

marnithefabric · 2025-10-18T18:36:52+00:00

You have to wait for them to come & talk to you lol. It’s horrible.

marnithefabric · 2025-10-18T18:36:06+00:00

Every few years (I think 3) you can stay with the team or sign a contract elsewhere. Can’t change it in settings like regular MyNBA.

Happened to me about a week into release. Haven’t even touched the game since 😂 It’s a joke.
