Great review. That price is reasonable given the intricate training involved. Definitely worth the price of admission. It is also beneficial to purchase a Cessna 172 and obtain your flight time in your own plane.

See, this is the kind of stuff I should NOT be watching. I'm 50 and the thought of getting my pilot's license has never left even if life didn't cooperate. Now It seems too late but I still watch videos like this. Very informative!

Sure glad I got my PPL for $1100 ($7600 today) in 1973. Guess I got a pretty good deal. Solo 5.1 hours 3 months, 39.4 at check ride hours, at AGS. Got the commercial 2 years later. That was mostly worked out doing avionics contracts with the fbo.

Very informative video. Thank you. I am in engineering and I fly all the time to different projects.
I had looked into getting a private pilot's license as well as a hobby. But I will be honest with you. Being 6'-5" and heavier set, general aviation aircraft frighten me to no end. Plus I'm 53 now. So I have just two quick questions.

1. How often are these G.A. aircraft checked out? Engines, airframes, etc.

2. Once you get your license, what next? What are the steps to becoming a commercial airline pilot?

Hi
If I use a Cessna 150/152 to get my PPL, will it be cheaper?

[Damonhouseee]

I may have missed it, but where in the U.S. did you complete your PPL?

I pay like 170$ for my instructor per flight

The CASH you paid the DPE was pretty much how they all operate. More than one DPE has had a check blocked by a sore loser who failed the check ride, one of those people who is sure that all of their failures are someone else’s fault. If someone fails a checkride, if they’re honest with themselves, they must concede that the DPE probably saved their lives.
