    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.

    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!

      Go for it. I never had any interest at all. But my youngest son is in school now. For commercial and he is trying to convince me To go for private. And I'll be fifty five in a couple of months. So you can definitely do it.

      If you have the funds to do it, do it. I got my license at 28 after being in the aviation maintenance world for nearly 10 years. Had one opportunity to fly the planes I maintain and the rest is history. It's expensive but done right, could make it cheaper. When it comes to personal development, it's the BEST thing I've ever pursued.

    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.

    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?

    • @theeverydaypilot

      1. The engine/airframe/avionics are checked every 100 hours when you use flight school planes. This is known as a 100hr inspection. They are also subject to annual inspections once a year. All inspections are completed by A&P and IA mechanics.
      2. Usually, after private, many (to include myself) go on to instrument rating, then commercial. Each rating is a stepping stone to get hired but nothing is required after PPL if you plan to fly for fun.

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

    • @theeverydaypilot
      @theeverydaypilot  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yea I would say so. All depends on the course you take. I was part 61 and flew in 172s. My buddy did a fast 2 week course in a 152 and he payed more. You sometimes pay for the convenience of an accelerated course

    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.

    Sir ? where do i get my ppl for that price here in Atlanta if you can help with that info .Thank you

    • @theeverydaypilot
      @theeverydaypilot  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would shop around at the smaller airports surrounding Atlanta first. It's difficult to find flight instruction as cheap as mine when you are in a large city.
