Thank you, sir. I just hopped back on the journey of getting my PPL, after stopping for quite a while when I was 16-17 years old. I am 21 now, currently in flight school for my PPL. I'm trying to treat this more as a college or trade rather than treating it as a "drivers license" like you said. Thanks for another amazing video!
You are absolutely correct. My PPL took 10 months, 65 hours and close to $12K in 2010. As you said it is a slow, painstaking, frustrating, and expensive process but also a very rewarding process. Because you are joining a very rare and worthwhile club. I have met some wonderful and very knowledgeable people who will go multiple extra miles to help a fellow aviator. I would encourage anyone interested to know that your CFI is more than just an instructor. That person will become a good friend and fellow flying buddy.
Along with getting a medical first, I took some great advice from a few others... Do online ground school and take the written before flying as well. IMO, the cockpit it a horrible classroom, at least for much of the information covered in the written. Knowing all of that up front allows you to focus on actually flying the plane. It also saves on hourly instructor time by limiting what the instructor has to cover on the ground.

I appreciate this video a lot as I’ve always wanted to look into becoming a private pilot
Great advice.
