Where did u go to breakfast ???

You lost me on foreflight, what ?

Lived on the Rock 82-83. Great times.

Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support

do you have your instrument rating?

Love, love the music!❤

A good friend took me up many times before I actually started flight lessons. Thanks to him I soloed in 5 hrs. and got my PP in 35 hrs (1975). Many years later on an LHR to ORD American Airlines flight, I caught the Captains name over the PA. Sure enough, it was my 1st flight instructor. Gave the purser my business card and sure enough, he came back to coach and we had a great visit. About an hour later, the purser came back to me and said ‘The Captain would like to invite you to first class for the duration. Nice gesture, thanks Jim.

im jealous

Great video!

Great job!

how much for everything as you have it& where did you get it?

Can you get your car after 5

That was awesome. Really cool pictures.

You're not kidding about always learning. I was aircrew on the C-5 (loadmaster, not pilot) and I flew with pilots who had many thousands of hours under their belts. Some of these guys like 10K+. And even still, I'd hear some of these old timers (Colonels and a few Generals) in the cockpit going on over headset about something cool they learned that day. On these aircraft they were INTIMITATELY familiar with. Always admired that. The learning never stops. Which ALSO means we should never become complacent. Even after thousands of hours. These guys were always on the alert, professional, and I never saw them get lazy at the helm. I guess it helps that each flight could be so different. Combat landings are something else. 😅

Solid video and congrats. I’d say for most, it’s a better strategy to not rush the learning process, it’s not a race! Spend more time and money to master the aviation skillset and make the mistakes that you will and must make to become e a better aviator. Or…rush rush and spin that plane into the ground because ya memorized everything and your knowledge exceeds your real world experience. This is a skillset that needs time to marinate. I’m not referring to you btw

I did mine in 49 granted I had three different instructors throughout and grounded for about two months with the midwest weather

If you want to become a commercial pilot the time it takes to become private is irrelevant

Those fireworks look insane from above! Such a cool view though!

How are you connecting the audio to your camera/phone?

Looks like a fun cruise!!!

Excellent content and presentation!

I see you taking off Rwy 31 at OZW in a Crosswinds Aviation plane 😊. That's where I trained myself.

guys will do anything to get laid i swear to god

Only a complete idiot would brag about getting his pilots license in less than 50 hours! Pilots like you all are accidents, waiting to happen! Yikes…….. You just can’t fix stupid!

I get needing to practice flying but how the hell can you say fly 3-4 times per week? Who pays for that? Who goes to work to pay rent and food?

47 hrs…I would stay ahead of the weather, if I saw a lesson was going to get rained out, I would reschedule immediately to the next closest. I was basically scheduling my life around flight lessons.

**didnt watch the video** Did my PPL in exactly 1 month, to the day, and 42.7 hours. It's called a part 141 school. Expensive but worth it. That was 3 weeks ago and my IFR checkride is in 5 days and im at 78.4 hours as i type this. I start my commercial rating 8 days from now. I'll have that checkride in about a month and a half's time at around 120hrs. If you want a career as a pilot go to a 141 school. It's worth it.

I’m at about 36 hours right now, and have almost completed the night requirement. Just need to do a solo cross country, and get more solo time in general, and I’ll be ready for my checkride.

Great Video! What is the Ipad that you are using?

Excellent advise!

I'm 34 how long would it take me to be a pilot ? Is there any flight classes at the Detroit city Airport the Coleman A young Airport

What’s up man thank you for the video. I just got sportys for my ground school. For the written test, do they just do the endorsement or can you take the actual FAA test with sportys?

I got mine in 51 hours including changing from a high wing (Remos GX) to a low wing (RV10) at about 15 hours. It’s possible if you fly regularly and make the most of every hour you’re in the airplane.

Hey we from same area I see.. what school did you go thru!!??

Nice video, Ben! Looks like YT is promoting it! 😊 I'd like to ad to get the medical check done after the discovery flight lesson, before spending any more money. I got that arranged before signing up, just like I learned myself to fly circuits (patterns) and the RT. That was quite funny, as instructors didn't expect me to know that and got kinda cramped when I told I would handle the radios on my discovery flights. I did lots of discovery flights at several schools/fields and different planes to get the best combination for me personal. Gold Seal is terrific for ground school. I'm EASA, but got a good look into that. Further I recommend filming the flights with ATC/audio. I'm unable to take so much flight lessons weekly and looking at my flights in the comfort of my home is extremely helpful also to hear my instructors feedback during the flight. It is also nice to share short movies to get hopefully more people into aviation 😁 Enjoy your privileges and having people for a spin!!! You got yourself a new subscriber 🤗

Ben, I think your video is one of the best and most accurate that I’ve seen regarding flight training - well done! I appreciate your emphasis on the student doing the work on their time before showing up to a lesson; that is absolutely critical. Many do not “get that,” until they’ve spent far in excess of what they originally planned simply because they’re not prepping beforehand and we as the instructors have to backtrack to ensure their understanding and proficiency. Congratulations on earning your Private Certificate (not license 😉), continue to focus on precision in your flying, and proper risk management. -Joe ATP, CFI, CFI-I

I stopped and started several times so it took me 60. Would have loved to do a “bootcamp” scenario with a couple weeks of a couple flights a day. Expensive as hell, but you’re going to spend the money anyway. And money today is worth more than money a year from now. (To clarify: inflation is a thing, but your money today is more valuable because the rates are rising faster than my pay raises.) For example: my club rates have gone from $150/$35 to $180/$65 in a couple of years.

Thank you. I'm interested in becoming a private jet pilot in Las Vegas. I need to get my ppl to start my career. What jobs can you do to make money after you get the required minimum of 40 hours? Thanks

Best advice 3 hour flights. Makes total sense. Thank you,

I soloed in 6 hours , did my solo x-country in 10 was ready for my check ride in about 2o hours but had to have my 40 hours to get my ticket .Now with multi , helicopter , A320 ratings and some 2K hours . Too many good times .

Happy Anniversary!!! I just subbed because of your vid of getting PPL in 43 hrs. Then I see that we have the same wedding anniversary!!

Great video! Agree with all of your suggestions and never thought of the 3hr lesson which I may do for my Instrument lessons, which I am starting now. I get the feeling that you had a great stint of weather at your location. I had a rough time this year, here in upstate NY, with the weather. It really slowed down my progress due to many cancelled lessons. I would like to know how your checkride went. I had about 60 hrs logged when I did my checkride and probably the last 10 hrs or so were my choice to ensure that I was rock solid (fully meeting the ACS reqs) on some of the maneuvers (steep turn - keeping altitude) and landings (short field - hitting the spot). So it would be great to see your perspective on how your checkride went and would you have done anything differently. BTW- totally agree with you about Foreflight, especially the log book and getting endorsements. Although, my DPE got a little testy with me as he was old school and wanted a written log book even though I printed mine out for him. Thanks for a really informative video.

Great info. I'm finishing up the ground school now. i'll be taking this advice to the next step. Also, nice FSAE car :)

I was a professional flight instructor for two years. As with all professions, there are good and there are bad. I had a reputation as someone who would instruct difficult students successfully. It wasn’t always true, but there was one student: He was a young man, Vietnamese, recent immigrant. Broken English. Nobody wanted to take him on. I started training and was utterly astounded by the ability of this young man to never have to be shown something more than once. Unbelievable retention. We blazed through pitch and power drills, airspeed management, stalls, minimum controllable airspeed, pattern work. His ability to set up his demos while doing clearing turns was efficient and time saving. He was so good, that at the stroke of 40 hours (40.0) I couldn’t teach him anything that he didn’t know for the private check-ride. Amazingly I met him, 30 years later, at an AOPA event at Long Beach where I was showing DA-40 Diamond Stars. He recognized me right away. He is now an aviation attorney and a flight instructor and introduced me to two of his students, both Vietnamese.

Very useful info! You mentioned "stratiks" with a RPi kit ? Got some more info on that?

Great video and tips, thanks for sharing =) Also great to have some online schools to prep before starting :)

Hey thanks for the great tips, especially the 3 hour one. Any idea if Garmin Pilot is just as good as foreflight?
