I'd recommend at least getting your Private Pilot's Certificate through a local Part 61 flight school in high school. It's cheaper, more flexible so you can build a solid foundation for the basics of flying, and it'll let you get a feel for whether you actually enjoy flying or not.

@quadasian5151Ай бұрын
Whats up garrett, I start my flight training on the 15th of this month and am planning to finance most of the cost of my flight training. How early do you think a student pilot should apply for loans before they need them, and is there any way to get discounted flight training for the first few certificates (private, instrument, commercial). I know you tallked about signing a contract with your flight school to get your CFI certificate for free and wanted to know if its possible to do it for the other certificates.
@michaelsmith5463Ай бұрын
IMO, apply right away. If you dont get approved is that a deal-breaker?---Worth knowing. Apply to big 3...Sallie Mae, Meritage, and ??(cant remember)...or credit card it. Anyway, banks are tightening lending, so may slowly trickle into unsecured loans like flight training.
