How do you get your pilot license?

[unrealuknow]

How not to lose your pilots license. Don't jump out of a perfectly good plane for a YT video pretending you had no way to land when the engine 'fails'

[videos-for-friends]

Personally, as a student pilot who has gone through ground school. Fly before you take the written, it’s a big deal, and you don’t want to fail it, you’ll beat yourself up on the waste of money if you do fail.

Took my discovery last week, starting (in-person) ground school today 🤘

I think getting cleared for the medical exam is also important because if you’re not cleared for that then you can’t fly at all

Step One - get a literal pile of cash - then start shoveling it to flight school.

Private pilot here. Everything he said is great and correct, but to tweak it a bit as everyone has said.. you definitely want to get that medical out of the way after you get your discovery flight.

Getting a medical certificate will give you the clearance to make sure you are fit mentally and physically to fly according to FAA regulations. Without this you cannot fly. There are different types of medical certificates so it will all depend on what you want to do with your flying career. For example, if you just want to fly for fun and don't plan on being compensated for it you can get a third class medical.
And yes, you can have glasses for corrected vision!

Then once you get that you can begin the ground school and the flight training. You can take online ground schools. I've taken Kings School online and so far it has been great. Saves you some money and time with a instructor.

I truly believe anyone can be a pilot, but it will not be easy! Don't give up it'll be worth it. Good luck!

Do NOT take the written test before training. Having flying experience will help you get a better understanding of the questions, even if you have the knowledge.

A little tip: you can do ground and flight school consecutively. But taking the ground course prior can save you lots of money by not having the CFI explain everything in the air when you’re spending 200ish/hr. I’d recommend at least taking a few flight lessons before taking the written just so you have more of an understand about what the book is talking about.

I seen someone comment got it you have to be white”. Something ridiculous like that. I am Nigerian American and come from a 3rd world country. I have been a commercial pilot/ Flight instructor for a little over 2 years. This world is for everybody and as long as you have faith in our God and yourself and have the passion for this profession it is a million percent possible. Stop holding yourself back if you think you have to come from money or be a certain standard. This life is for everybody!

I love how quickly you broke it down… Many thanks!,

[JosephSanNicolas]

From wholesaling to piloting! 🔥My dude! I’ll see in the sky soon Max!

Thank you for the very concise overview of what I need to do. Have the "Discovery Flt." have 3C medical passed. Now for the Ground School, CFI! Thank you!

[colinschmidty]

Man, this info was so helpful because all the other people didn’t give it straight forward but this info save me about an hour of searching, so thank you so much and I am also trying to become a pilot. I’m just trying to figure out the best way on how to do it.Again Thank you

This guy didn’t touch on it, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a medical certificate first. I went to get my medical and I got deferred because I have a lazy eye (monocular vision). Luckily, I haven’t started any training.

[SsessangaSoars]

Oh, this is some inspo! I started my YouTube channel back up when I saw yours! Got me back in the aviation tube game!

I appreciate these brief but comprehensive tips for possible beginners

[christopherfreeman]

If you’re a hands on learner, then it’s best to take lessons before signing up for ground school and taking the FAA Written Exam. I started ground school and took the written after my first solo flight. That’s how I easily passed.

[BrdTheWrd]

It all starts with the discovery flight. You’ll know right away whether it’s for you or not. But, you don’t need to complete the written before you start training. You can, but I found it more beneficial to go through ground school, do your flight training, and then take the test somewhere halfway through or at the end. You’ll understand everything so much better.

Thank you for sharing this career for many people who want to become a Pilot!! Great advice you gave here!!😊😊❤

I had no interest in pilots until my first every flight to Hawaii. After that trip, aviation is now on my radar. I think all it takes is a persons first flight
