When I went to college, parts were hard to find for our aircraft at the time and we only had about 4 of our 30 planes up and running. I took the 5am flight block and ran through that program. Just bite the bullet and get in as early as possible. The early bird gets the worm saying is no joke. Also my 141 school stopped training at “Com D” if you didn’t have your CAX Written done. You’ll stress like I did when I was trying to enroll and they said I couldn’t because of no written completion.
💯💯 Exactly Yes being flexible is good but also realistic with the expectation. So better find a school that is flexible with your schedule not the other way around.
Many students decide to pay for flight school using a loan. Many of these students take out enough to not only pay for the program, but also to subsidize their living expenses. This is a common practice and works best with a fast paced program that allows you to start earning income as a pilot as soon as possible. If this sounds new to you, I would highly recommend calling around to a few flight schools to ask them how their students manage to do this. I know our own admissions team would be happy to explain it to you as well! They're available to whomever is curious enough to ask. The phone number is in the bio. Hope this helps!

Great points! I think most of them apply to Part 61 as well. The ability to do checkrides in house is pretty big!
so i can’t have a full time job and do flight school, how am i supposed to pay for bills if im independent🥲
