Find a local flight school that offers initial pilot training. Google is a great resource for this. You can also look at local airport directories or websites as they will typically list their local schools.

Definitely get your medical sorted out before beginning training. Feel free to reach out to myself or another CFI if you have questions as to which class of medical is best for you.

Another consideration is the written test. There is no formal ground school requirement (under part 61), but some people feel they learn better when taught in a traditional classroom setting. But, people who are comfortable studying on their own have a couple of options: use FAA-published materials; or find a commercial at-home study course such as King's or Sporty's. You can, of course, receive training, and even the endorsement, from your very own CFI right here at Pilot Tutoring!

Go to your local flight school and see if they offer a discovery flight. These are usually extremely inexpensive, only ~$100, and is a great way to determine whether this is for you!

Whatever you do, do not fly for the money. Without passion, this will be a long, expensive, and grueling journey, and is unlikely to end in success. It is an extremely expensive and long journey to get to an airline to make the big bucks, and making too many errors along the way can permanently affect your hiring prospects.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss with me if you have any doubts.

It depends on various factors, including where you live, your own study habits, your availability and ability to fly frequently, the plane you fly, and so many other factors. However, typically you can expect to complete your Private Pilot Rating (PPL) with about $15,000, give or take. One, with a good plan, could expect to complete their CFI for as little as $60,000.

Of course, it’s much cheaper with proper teaching and guidance, available for as little as $10 here at Pilot Tutoring.

Not much. You won’t have to do more than basic math while flying, and when on the ground, the most complex it gets is basic algebra.

It can be helpful to knock the written exams out of the way before throwing in the complexity of real flying. Completing the written tests are typically done via rote memorization through a platform called Sheppard Air. However, Sheppard is not available for the PAR (Private Pilot Written), and other platforms like Sporty’s are more than adequate.

If you need any assistance completing the written exams, don’t hesitate to book a lesson!

Depends on how fast you want to go, but for a general pace, I recommend 30-60 minutes daily, focusing on something new each time.

It can be as simple as listening to podcast while driving to work, a ground lesson, or independent self-study.

Of course, it’s always easier with someone to guide you! You can book a personalized study session with a CFI for as little as $10 here at Pilot Tutoring!
