Goodluck!

This is hands down the best UA-cam guide I've ever watched. Great job.
If you have any significant medical history, it can take up to a year to get a medical. I’m a cancer survivor and I had to come up with an extra $3500 for neuropsychological and heart testing, and that included going through referral loopholes so I could qualify to use my health insurance, otherwise it would have been over 5k in testing. Also the neuropsychological test cannot qualify for insurance.
My tests went well and after 8 months I finally got my first class medical with no neuropsychological impairment and no heart issues.
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
Glory to God!
Congratulations my dear. Happy you can fly❤
Note: A lot of flight schools, especially 141, prefer you to have your written(s) done before flight training.
Great video
writtens?
@@lackability6000written exam
@@lackability6000Weitten exam. Needed before the final check ride.
Nice paint job on that 172 in the background.
i really like how indepth and direct this video is, weither its studying, practical and oral, down to pricing and how to approach going from a PPL to commercial... in just 11 minutes :) nice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!!
Very helpful tahmks
This is well made video.
It's so expensive, never thought it would cost so much especially when I convert that to my currency it goes up to 8 digits.
What about taking the military route? Can you make a video on that?
How much to become commercial pilot to be employed?
Maybe in next life...❤
How many years does it take to learn to become a commercial pilot
About 4-5 years
Just commercial and not ATP can be less than a year

Do you have any tips to keep motivation up? I am currently learning with your ground school however I feel like I’m studying less and less because I feel like I’m not retaining the information and it makes learning not fun if I’m not actually “learning.”
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!! 🙏
I was exited until the costs….
This is why I haven't been able to do it in 15 years even though it's my dream job
Do your private hours exclude from the CTP hours
How do people pay for their flying lessons all the way to commercial? Are there federal loans? Anything?
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. 👍🏼
There are also many aviation scholarships.
Hi my dream is to be an airline pilot but I have this one problem that is, one of my legs is short and the other one is long.The question is will i be able to pursue my career.
Is it possible to pursue self-study for ground school after obtaining a medical certification and then attend a flight school to pass the written exam and only pay for the flight portion? Or is that pathway only based upon the flight school?
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.
Is your flight school in Canada or USA
hello man, I am an aviation fan and every time someone asks me what job I want to do I always answer: "the pilot", but they remember me that I don't have the money to do it. This is my dream, can you help me??? Can you give me some tips. By the way this video is fantastic.
It will take how many years ?
Why wouldn't you get your multi engine rating before you get your commercial so you can count those hours toward your 250 total hours needed for the commercial?
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.
so here's what i get, so overall you spend for about around 2,5 - 3 years with full good experiance that needed to be a commercial pilot right?
well if your really good and rich you can prob knock it out in 1.6 year or smt
I thought I have to take the FAA ground test before taking my first flight lessons and not after?
Only before the final checkride. Better to have some experience in the air while doing ground school. Things make more sense.
Im 24 and I first obtain my cdl to pay off my credit card debt I’m 24 if I use a year to pay everything off and so on by the time I’m 30 I should be done with everything is that an old age or is it to late ?
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
And haw long to be a private pilot 🙏
Does this apply to a specific country or are they applicable to every country. i.e. I live in Aussie
US.
what is the age restriction pls
16 for ppl
18-21 for commercial and airlines
When js the best age to start the path?
As soon as u finish highschool
@@siphesihle1524 Do you know if you can go to college and flight school at the same time?
@@Cerxts Pilot training requires a lot of time and attention, if u can though, i wouldn't recommend it
@@siphesihle1524 Alright thanks!

1.25x speed makes this better
Much easier and cheaper in Europe.
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.
Is this for USA or Europe?
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.
