Some of us should be blessed because I don’t have the same issue but I have to spend money on fixing my passport that can take 8 months but keep pushing it’s all just fuel dreams are never impossible

About 4-5 years

Here are two things that have worked for us: 1. The best way to retain information is to "recall" it. Flashcards are a great way to do this, and we have a dedicated flashcard app for this reason. Quizzes are fantastic, too (we have exciting news to share about this soon). Watch the lessons, but combine other learning methods to keep retention high. 2. If you're struggling with the motivation to start a study session, use the "20-minute rule." Only commit to 20 minutes of studying, with no exceptions. The most difficult part of studying is getting started. If you only commit to 20 minutes, it makes it a lot easier to start. The best part? You will almost always study for more than 20 minutes once you get going!

@@PilotInstituteAirplanes there's a video idea right there. appreciating the content and help as always :)

Just keep at it. Repeat lessons. Watch youtube videos on the subjects you struggle more with. It will eventually click. I felt I had gotten at least a 70 but I got a 92 on my written. I really studied on calculations and E6B as well as the cx3 calculator. Turns out I only got 2 calculation questions. Everything was informational. I found that I had retained a lot of info.

@@PilotInstituteAirplanes I’ll try all of these things, thank you very much!! 🙏

If you go the degree route like at Embry Riddle, you can get federal loans. BUT! It’s not enough because the government only pays for educational expenses and flying is not the education side. Which is dumb because it’s the most expensive part. Most people will go with private loans. There’s a few out there like Stratus, Meritize, Sallie Mae and others. I’m in a part 141 degree program. So that has more perks. The program I’m in is estimated at 80k inflated costs. But it takes 2 years because there are classes on the side you have to take. Which I don’t mind because they’re relevant. Be careful with estimated costs at some schools. Most list bare minimums and you will most likely go over that. But my program has free simulator time, self check authority and offers a RATP rating which allows you to fly for airlines at 1250 hours instead of 1500. This video is more a guideline but there are many factors. Like DPEs are in high demand and many people especially at part 61 schools wait 2-6 months for a check ride waiting on a DPE. Schools with self check authority don’t have to wait on an outside check instructor. 👍🏼

Think about the implications of self studying for this big of an exam. Our course, for example, is 35 hours long. At only $199, depending on how you value your time, it's a cheap price to pay to have all the information in one place, easy to study. If you study on your own and go to a flight school to get an endorsement, you will pay $70/hr with an instructor one-on-one for them to verify you have the correct knowledge. If you spend more than 3 hours with an instructor (you will), you will pay more than a ground school study program.

Very few finish CPL within the minimums so it doesn't really matter all that much.

wym 250 hrs? don't airlines require at last 1500hrs? what airline only wants 250?

​@@LucianMarcin-em6lu250 hours for commercial rating. Airlines require the ATP certificate and a minimum of 1,500 hours.

It’s never too late. I’m 35 with a CDL and I take my discovery flight this Saturday! Go for it, the sky is the limit!

@@mrbwashington88 how’s it going so far sir I’m ready to do this first I got to pay my debts then save what’s your approach any advice

well if your really good and rich you can prob knock it out in 1.6 year or smt

As soon as u finish highschool

It is usually not cheaper in Euripe, which is why a lot of pilots comes to train in the United States, for time building for example.

@@PilotInstituteAirplanes Personally I’m doing my license in Poland and it is so much cheaper here.

USA

Isn’t it all the same?

@@user-zt4ze5yu8d No. There are different regulations and hour requirements in both the USA and Europe. Not sure about private pilot, but I know you can get to the airlines with much less hours in Europe, albeit its harder to get hired than in the US.
