Each of those requirements has its own costs. The higher end of this price estimate is what you can expect to pay at schools without flight simulators. Remember that you cannot start this training until you already have your private pilot license, have logged a minimum of 50 hours as a licensed pilot and have your third-class FAA medical certificate. Each of these prerequisites has its own costs, as mentioned above. Before you begin training for your ATP, you need to be at least 18 years old, have your private pilot license and have your instrument-rating endorsement.
Many airlines require you to hold a bachelor's degree and turn 21 years old before you receive your ATP. Contact your local flight school for additional requirements.
Some schools may let you train to fulfill more than one type of license at a time, so ask them what types of course schedules they offer. Many people lose their enthusiasm for flying when they see all the costs of it adding up. However, you can find a variety of different ways to make the pursuit of a pilot's license more affordable. Below are seven money-saving ideas to help you start your journey:.
Wherever you find aircraft available to rent, ask if they offer discounts on airplane rentals if you pay ahead for your scheduled flight times. Flying clubs also help lower the costs of flying. The AOPA has a nationwide network of flying clubs you can join. You can search for active clubs near you or get their help to start a local flying club. Member privileges often include discounted airplane rentals. The group divides the costs of leasing the aircraft among its members to make it more affordable.
This is a place to start for most anyone looking to become a pilot. After you get this license, it becomes easier to get your private pilot's license while you can also continue practicing to earn more practical flight experience.
The downside is that a sport pilot license does come with restrictions. Later on, if you get complete logbook endorsements to operate in Class B, C, and D airspace, then you earn additional flying privileges. You can read the full guidelines of restrictions and requirements here. Few students take full opportunity of all the ways they can prepare themselves for a flying exam.
You can find many online programs and books to help you learn all the most-important flying concepts faster. With the right study resources, you can spend less time in a classroom and save a good amount of money. Extra studying can also make your cockpit lessons go much easier as well so you can learn more from your instructor in less time. After you read the instructions for basic flight maneuvers and see them in videos, take some time to sit alone and visualize doing them yourself.
Sit somewhere quietly, close your eyes and imagine yourself in the cockpit doing each step carefully. Imagine how the plane will respond in detail. Visualization techniques are a powerful learning shortcut. Neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak found that "Positron-emission tomography, or "PET" scans, reveal that the mental rehearsal of an action activates the pre-frontal areas of the brain responsible for the formulation of the appropriate motor programs.
Flying an airplane requires you to build new skills that you can't get from memorization alone. You need as much hands-on practice as you can get.

Review about once per month. This will help you keep on target and assess your progress. Purchasing used books and materials will save a lot of money over purchasing new ones. Some schools have a swap area, so use it. Great deals can also be found on craigslist or eBay, however, use caution when doing so.
Make certain you are buying a current issue of the book, as FAA rules and regulations change regularly. Outdated materials could be teaching you outdated regulations.
Purchase your own aircraft. If you are committed to learning to fly, it can make sense to purchase your own aircraft to fly in. You may be able to come to an arrangement with your school to lease back the aircraft to them when you are not using it. The income generated should totally offset the cost of your training. When you are finished, you will still own the aircraft. Additionally, the tax incentives for purchasing an aircraft have rarely been more advantageous then they have been over the past decade.
If used properly, these free resources should reduce your overall cost learning to become a private pilot. Once you join AOPA, remain a member and take advantage of all their other free services.
