Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for how to get pilot license without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got excellent results with it.
When people hold a forced smile for more than a second or two they look like they're trying to squeeze out a fart that they're pretty sure is gonna be hella loud but they're gonna yolo it anyway.
Twisted Pixel This is the kind of stuff they teach you for public speaking and business interactions. Some people are naturals and others less so but even the ones that are less good at it are better off than most people’s baseline style of talking.
That's awesome, Jerome! Because you didn't believe anyone who said it couldn't be done or it was "too late" (That's crazy talk!) you can now enjoy the incredible world of flight! Thank you for sharing!
Jerome Cannon, all the best dude. I too decided to start my cpl soon. CFI is also my plan to build min hours. No one can set an expiry date for our dreams to fly.

She's trying to keep herself from laughing out loud while he's talking about fear of crashing. Probably somebody off-screen was trying to make her screw up.
Great videos guys, love the humor! I wanted to fly my entire life, but grew up with a severe stutter. At 46 (this year), began flight training and you do learn that ATC is your friend - Stutter or not. Nothing should stop you. Checkride will be in Sept.
This is a good story. I have a stutter, and have always wanted to learn to fly. I'm glad to hear this hasn't affected you. I'm doing my trial flight at then end of march. Hopefully I will go on to do my PPL
I’m doing mine part 61. There are always flight instructors around. For those of you looking to become pilots as a career. You can definitely find can find flight schools roughly around: Private pilot - 6-10k Instrument -5.5k Commercial - 8-20k (lower end if splitting time, higher if solo time) Multi engine 5k Do this right and you can get cost down to around 30-35k. Much cheaper than 70k like some other flight schools. Do your research but also make sure you find the right fit for training and how you learn.
I think that things are happening behind the camera that are making her do that. It's all she can do to keep from busting out laughing. If you have seen their other videos you can tell they are always goofing around when filming these.
Great video guys. Much appreciated. Really inspired me to continue to follow my dream of becoming a flight instructor. I am already a private pilot but seriously hesitated to continue down this path. At 46, no better time than now. Only getting older and don't want to pass this by. Thanks again.
Lately, the primary problems are recurring high expenses ---- the training and currency afterwords. This is compounded by lack of aircraft availability and tight currency requirements to maintain rental accounts. ((side note: guys, don't force your smiles. A natural face will do you just as well))
Your videos helped inspire me to start my flight training, currently 14 hours into private pilot training in Illinois. I sure wish I lived closer to US Sport Flight Academy, though, as I would definitely be training with you!
I'm a teenager, 17 years old, and I want my future career to be a pilot and I always wanted it to be while I was a child. This video helped me prepare for the upcoming schools I'm willing to go to soon and become a professional, young, pilot!
American Airlines has a cadet program that will get you into the regional flights and eventually into the long-haul flights. A friend of mine is an instructor there: www.aacadetacademy.com/CadetAcademy/Index
Cost will always be the biggest road block, here is why. Cessna 172 rental = $150/ Hr Instructor cost= $50/ Hr Fuel cost= $20/ Hr Avg flying cost= $220 Books and Supplies = $500 Ground school cost = $50/ Hr FAA medical = $120 FAA requires Min 40 flight hours Avg time is usually 60 Hours Flight/ Ground/ Supplies = $13,000 plus FAA examiner fee= $500 Avg All the above is ONLY to become a Private Pilot. Keep all this in mind before getting into flying. If you quit half way you've wasted a lot of money and time.
Tariq Khan Am 47 just getting started with my PPL lessons in Tacoma, if you quit drinking, smoking and gambling and sure you can save enough to go through your PPL
Wow! I seriously thought I was the only person that had some of those issues. You named literally every single thing that has prevented me from doing it since I had my discovery flight in 1988. Thanks for sharing the information. I’m definitely going to start looking seriously for a place to learn. 👍😀
I’m currently 13 years old, and I’m really glad to see videos like this. My dream is to one day fly for a big airline like Delta or American. Many of these fears I have overcome because my dad is a flight instructor and because I have been in planes since I was 4 months old, but this video was very helpful and reassuring.
@@benshaffer3369 Schedule a 'Discovery Flight' with a local flight school. It will give you a good idea of what it takes to pilot a plane, and if you like flying those hours will count towards your goal. OR it may save you a lot of grief if you hate it! :)
I think the only thing I worry about is situational awareness. I took at Discovery flight several years ago and became concerned when at the end I couldn't seem to find the airfield amongst the several buildings, etc. on the ground, even though the instructor kept telling me where it was. All that, and it was a clear day! Now I believe with training this can be mollified, but it did give me a nervous moment of pause. The other was something you mentioned about ATC. Their speech is very rapidly delivered and spiced with lots of unfamiliar terms. Again, I think with work this can be dealt with. But it is a cause for concern.
Hi mikerossscuba! We're glad you appreciated his sharing of personal experiences with anxiety and nausea. We think things like that should be shared to new pilots more often, because it's much more common than you think! If you suffer from nausea or anxiety when flying, just keep at it and it WILL get better! Thanks for watching and good luck!
Great video - You nailed the reasons so many I've met haven't pursued their dream. I've followed your videos along since I began my training, and now awaiting my Transport Canada PPL. Thanks for the encouragement - You guys absolutely rock!
Great Video, just about to start my PPL, im 53, Health seems to be the constraints with NZ CAA approvals, yes they do need to know everything. You can still get a Medical Cert 1 with restrictions. Give it a go you will never know unless you try. Can't wait to start training.
Another honorable mention is fear of heights...I fly an ultralight and it took many hours to become comfortable. Like many other fears folks have experience and flight time will help. My own fear of heights is still there but it is now part of the thrill of flight.
I love how they make it sound like if you want to get a pilots license you can with out any problem. I wanted to get my license and after returning to the US from Duty in Vietnam, and being turned down for WO school, I joined the Army flying Club...Just as I was about to get my license I was sent to another base (one without a flying club) Over 20 years later I decided I was going to finish.....Had to start from scratch. 9/11 happened and my flying was on hold again. 3 months later and several retraining flights and I was back flying...6 more months and I took the written and passed it and began preparing for my Oral (check ride) as the oral reached 7hrs..I messed up the landing...the examiner said My instructor could take me up an "rake me over the coals and I could try the landing again...by I was tired and opted to try another day. 6 month of snow and Ice I went back but had to get signed off by the instructor to take the test. The meant some more solo time. I was flying gliders, and on my second solo flight the tow pilot crashed and died. The airport blamed me..but the FAA said i did nothing wrong but because I am honest Flight schools don't want me. I was a member of the AOPA, tried to get them to help me get a flight school....the didn't even send me a response to my letter, but they did want me to stay a member and give them money for my membership. And SSA was no help either. For you veterans don't go running to a flight school with the idea you can get your pilots license and the VA will pay for it. You have to first get your Private License and Instrument rating, the pass a second or 1st class physical...then they will pay if you have entitlements left.
@@theoriginaljackal8196 Really? I keep hearing the same thing about having to get your private license first. May I ask what school you're going to and where? And will the G.I. bill also pay for my college after that too or is it just one or the other?
Yikes - must have been quite the negative experience! It's always a shame when a lack of compatibility with an instructor (or just a bad instructor!) scares off a potential pilot. We hope in this case that you got back out there and kept flying! Thanks for watching & sharing your experience!
There was a guy in the soaring plane club that was such a jerk that people would quit and original club members wouldn't tell him to knock it off. Finally I decided that if they wanted their club to disappear they would let him get away with it----finally it disappeared.
Man I gotta plant this shovel here... at KLZU, the main flight school is training foreign students and giving them priority over locals. (Follow the $$$), this has been going on for years. This major flight school was sold to a chinese company two years ago. So, once they qualify for their ppl, they're on to their commercial, ifr, and instructor ratings. These foreign dudes become the flight instructors for the local ppl, and that does not work, and they do not last long bc once they've reached their qualified time as commercial, they go back home to (insert name of foreign country here). My oldest son went thru this crap 4 years ago. He could never get the same instructor. It was a rat-race. We quit this place and went to a locally oriented school with more career oriented GA flight instructors, of course they were US citizens.
I'm 20 and honestly I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the things you must do and all the money that's needed to be a pilot. Hopefully my engineering career succeds and i get to fly in the future.
I am 42 with 20 years at my current career that I hate. Wanted to be a pilot since I was 8 and saw my 1st airshow. I have all these worries about a career change but not so much after this video. So thanks for sharing. Also I want one of those cool shirts you guys are rockin. ;-)
Go for it James! I have a friend that wanted to be a Helicopter pilot years ago. He tried it for awhile until he met a woman who introduced him to cocaine. He said it was very expensive but nothing compared to the coke!
I love flying so much and want to be a pilot, but I always felt nervous about turbulence, so I thought I could never be a pilot. I didn't know new pilots would feel that way. Now I think I should give it a shot :]
zerosonico LOL i loved that comment. like the high school senior with his class ring and letter jacket. shows up in college to play d1 football only to realize there are 65 other athletes on the team as or more capable... quite humbling. at lest this school keeps it down to earth. wish they were in Houston! Expansion market!
I went through ground school at the Hickam Aero Club around 1990. I passed the FAA written exam and had 9 hours of flying with instructor. I really enjoyed it but couldn't get past the communication obstacle.
That's amazing, Coleman! Congrats on starting your journey to make your aviation dreams a reality! We're sure you're going to do great and overcome your fears!!!
Great information. It has been one of my dreams. Now my son is in the Air Force and my daughter is in college so I have the time to fulfill my dream. Thank you
Excellent information, addresses my concerns. I flew gliders and actually did worry about the wings coming off the old bucket. Too bad you couldn't find good looking people to present in the video.........that's sarcasm if you didn't catch it.
My dad taught me to fly when I was thirteen, passing a pilots licence was a piece of cake. I fly my dad's c182 hand me down. He's now teaching me to fly a dual power plant beech super king. Which is his favorite aircraft. Theres a lot more to learn on a twin, but unbenounced to him, I could fly it. It's a hell of a lot faster than a c182.... it's like you have to stay that much more ahead of the aircraft. But it's a blast ! My father flew the f-4 phantom in the military but never wanted to talk about it. He became a test pilot when I was born so he was always leaving really early in the morning and I didn't see him until late at night. Most of this was a blur, but he would tell me about aircraft engagements where he made an underwear stain out of the enemy. He gave me an undercarriage wheel display from a f-4 phantom that spins around kinda weird for a display. At any rate, I had a real military living experience. Now he's a retired business owner flying his beech.
Don't let that stop you. And you're still young. It took me about two years to get my private license (Many years ago). That was because I was raising a family and had to stretch it out for financial reasons. But after persevering I finally got my license and when the kids were out of school, I bought a plane. A homebuilt BD-4. Go for it. Stay determined.
I am interested in finding more information of acquiring Flight Training through the VA benefits. Where I can find more information regarding this subject?
No matter what you do.... Never stop smiling.....
Do R/C! 😂
Until it gets borderline uncanny...
OMG top comment and rightfully so, because it got obnoxious to me 1 minute in. Just so unnatural and creepy.

As long as they are not flying after they smoke all that weed, its all good.
It’s really freaking annoying!!🙄
Fire the videographer! Those forced smiles are creepy!
His sketchy smile is creeping me out
The smiling has made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I now need to take a shower to wash the unknown fear off.

I actually just started flight school and you did mention all of my concerns so thank you for the encouragement.
I knew after a couple of minutes watching this video that all the comments would be about their constant smiling.
Lately, the primary problems are recurring high expenses ---- the training and currency afterwords.
This is compounded by lack of aircraft availability and tight currency requirements to maintain rental accounts.

American Airlines has a cadet program that will get you into the regional flights and eventually into the long-haul flights. A friend of mine is an instructor there: www.aacadetacademy.com/CadetAcademy/Index
hey! where are you now
Cost will always be the biggest road block, here is why.
Cessna 172 rental = $150/ Hr
Instructor cost= $50/ Hr
Fuel cost= $20/ Hr
Avg flying cost= $220
Books and Supplies = $500
Ground school cost = $50/ Hr
FAA medical = $120
FAA requires Min 40 flight hours
Avg time is usually 60 Hours
Flight/ Ground/ Supplies = $13,000 plus
FAA examiner fee= $500 Avg
All the above is ONLY to become a Private Pilot.
Keep all this in mind before getting into flying. If you quit half way you've wasted a lot of money and time.
NY, NJ and several Flight schools in Tri-State area give you both options. Call KTEB, KMGJ or KCDW and see how their prices are??
Tariq Khan Didn’t FAA increase the amount of flight time needed? Or is that for instrument rating?
Why lost time? Do you have to do the ~60 hours in a certain amount of time?

I love flying so much and want to be a pilot, but I always felt nervous about turbulence, so I thought I could never be a pilot. I didn't know new pilots would feel that way. Now I think I should give it a shot :]
Hi TheTravelProductions! That's great to hear! Everyone gets nervous every once in a while but don't let that stand in your way! Thanks for watching!
Great Vid ....Thanks
"Before that 1500h pilot was an arrogant jerk, her was a nervous beginner". Boom.
zerosonico LOL i loved that comment. like the high school senior with his class ring and letter jacket. shows up in college to play d1 football only to realize there are 65 other athletes on the team as or more capable... quite humbling. at lest this school keeps it down to earth. wish they were in Houston! Expansion market!
I went through ground school at the Hickam Aero Club around 1990. I passed the FAA written exam and had 9 hours of flying with instructor. I really enjoyed it but couldn't get past the communication obstacle.
Thank you
Great video! I started the journey towards my PPL about three weeks ago. I have either had or have all of those thoughts or fears.
That's amazing, Coleman! Congrats on starting your journey to make your aviation dreams a reality! We're sure you're going to do great and overcome your fears!!!
don't worry about it, the only thing you need to do is not giving up
The most professional video I've seen in a long time. Good work.
Great information. It has been one of my dreams. Now my son is in the Air Force and my daughter is in college so I have the time to fulfill my dream. Thank you
You guys inspired me a lot and I want to become pilot
Nathan thanks so much it's so incredibly it's encouraging thanks so much.
Excellent
The only one that matters on this list is money. Unless your part of the 1% it’s unaffordable
Excellent information, addresses my concerns. I flew gliders and actually did worry about the wings coming off the old bucket. Too bad you couldn't find good looking people to present in the video.........that's sarcasm if you didn't catch it.
We're glad you enjoyed our video and it was relevant to your experiences! Thanks for letting us know!
Great video!
Thanks for the vid!
This is awesome. It makes we want to fly.
My dad taught me to fly when I was thirteen, passing a pilots licence was a piece of cake. I fly my dad's c182 hand me down. He's now teaching me to fly a dual power plant beech super king. Which is his favorite aircraft. Theres a lot more to learn on a twin, but unbenounced to him, I could fly it. It's a hell of a lot faster than a c182.... it's like you have to stay that much more ahead of the aircraft. But it's a blast ! My father flew the f-4 phantom in the military but never wanted to talk about it. He became a test pilot when I was born so he was always leaving really early in the morning and I didn't see him until late at night. Most of this was a blur, but he would tell me about aircraft engagements where he made an underwear stain out of the enemy. He gave me an undercarriage wheel display from a f-4 phantom that spins around kinda weird for a display. At any rate, I had a real military living experience. Now he's a retired business owner flying his beech.
Very helpful video great job made me feel like going to this school tomorrow
is college required to become a pilot or is it just to be competitive?
You guys are the best!!
YOU'RE the best, CaptBrando!!
I can get financial assistance because I'm a combat vet? Seriously?!?!?! You guys may have just changed my life! Thank you.
Wow - what a perfect video! You nailed it! Sorry I’m nowhere near Dallas!
Lovely!
I wish your school was here in new jersey, most of the schools here in nj that i have visited are so full of it
Thanks for this video, aspiring commercial airline pilot here. :)
If you are afraid of the wings falling off or aircraft failure, consider aircraft maintenance for a while to build your confidence
Hi, thank you very much. I just started my flight training and this is very encouraging.
Hi RMCN GLOBE! We're glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching, and good luck with your flight training!!
for me its time and money
Arkensol im 28

Sleepingcatstudios agggggh
Don't let that stop you. And you're still young. It took me about two years to get my private license (Many years ago). That was because I was raising a family and had to stretch it out for financial reasons. But after persevering I finally got my license and when the kids were out of school, I bought a plane. A homebuilt BD-4. Go for it. Stay determined.
Nice
GooD advice
I am interested in finding more information of acquiring Flight Training through the VA benefits. Where I can find more information regarding this subject?
I like to smile! Smiling's my favorite!
Great video wish I lived in Texas
11: laws
all sorts of requirements and regulations make it impossible to build or fly what I want, when I want, where I want, how I want
Hahahaha no, actually if you own an ultralight you can fly pretty much wherever whenever
Great video! This was so helpful! I am worried that I am going to spend all this money and not be able to become a pilot.
