[@TopODaMernin]

The absolute smartest and game changing advice I can give as a pilot…. Get X-Plane…. Get the airframe you plan to learn in… go to gleam and get the PPL learn to fly “game” and do that with an Xbox controller (do not use flight sim equipment, it will develop bad habits). So now that you’ve passed your ground and you are completely mentally familiar with all the procedures necessary to get a PPL both through knowledge and through SIM practice, schedule your actual flight lessons…. You will save SO many hours and SO much time because you aren’t fumbling around and trying to completely learn the basic mechanics behind every step of your course. This advice is 1000x more helpful for instrument rating… because instrument is essentially a flight simulator with real world consequences.

[@cbaylor0369]

[@jo2ed]

Private pilot here. Everything he said is great and correct, but to tweak it a bit as everyone has said.. you definitely want to get that medical out of the way after you get your discovery flight. Getting a medical certificate will give you the clearance to make sure you are fit mentally and physically to fly according to FAA regulations. Without this you cannot fly. There are different types of medical certificates so it will all depend on what you want to do with your flying career. For example, if you just want to fly for fun and don't plan on being compensated for it you can get a third class medical. And yes, you can have glasses for corrected vision! Then once you get that you can begin the ground school and the flight training. You can take online ground schools. I've taken Kings School online and so far it has been great. Saves you some money and time with a instructor. I truly believe anyone can be a pilot, but it will not be easy! Don't give up it'll be worth it. Good luck!

[@godisgood9720]

Thank you for posting this, becoming a pilot is a dream of mine, but i always felt like there was a huge economic barrier that prevented me from acting on this desire sooner. When i did research it always seemed like becoming a pilot was going to cost 6 figures, if you complete all the necesssary training, which just seemed unfair and like a way to block other people like myself from pursuing our passion. But i looked up kings school and it seems legit. Thanks again

[@albertodeulofeu5277]

What’s the hardest part?

[@TaterTheAV8R]

Do NOT take the written test before training. Having flying experience will help you get a better understanding of the questions, even if you have the knowledge.

[@ClayR11]

I would agree with that, or study while you are flying

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

Kind of, but not really. The private written has very little to do with the actual flight, as silly as that sounds. As a commercial pilot/CFII/MEI, I can tell you that when I got started I took the private written before I set foot in an aircraft and got a 98. The FAA written tests are incredibly easy to score well on if you put in the effort of studying. Sadly, it comes down to rote memorization for the written. You learn what you’re actually doing in the air!

[@declank9380]

I disagree I took my PAR IRA CAX FOI before i started flight training for those specific ratings. Depending on the speed of the flight training program you are in it can be beneficial to take it before.

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

@@declank9380 likewise. I also did the FII while I was at it. Really let me focus on the important stuff.

[@mianatwood]

Nope, you can take a ground school, watch videos and get familiar with all the info and take the written test. Once you start flying you can now start reading a book like the Jeppesen Private Pilot or PHAK to start getting deeper knowledge for the oral test and to understand things in general. I did the way you say and I actually won’t recommend it. When you start flying you should have idea if most of the theoretical stuff and basically do a deeper review once you start flying. It will initially be hard but you’ll get through it just fine!

[@saffy4352]

Flying is easy. Theres only 4 fundamentals to flying. Taxi Ascend Descend And bank (turning) Everything you need to do in the air is based on accelerating and decelerate. If you decelerate, your aircraft will start to decend, i.e., the nose will drop, and if you accelerate, your nose will lift, and you will increase altitude. Maintaining a straight & level exercise will be taught to you. Visual flying comprises the "lookout" you will need to keep observing of any threats around you when in the sky prior to doing any monouvers. Once you've done your grounds, do your exams, then fly solo. And soon you will be a pilot.

[@Zansaldo1]

Took my discovery last week, starting (in-person) ground school today 🤘

[@AJL12321]

A little tip: you can do ground and flight school consecutively. But taking the ground course prior can save you lots of money by not having the CFI explain everything in the air when you’re spending 200ish/hr. I’d recommend at least taking a few flight lessons before taking the written just so you have more of an understand about what the book is talking about.

The general consensus ive seen is take the written test while in cross country phase so that by the time your doing checkride prep your not completely re learning material that the dpe may ask you in your oral.

[@sgtstedanko7186]

Oh and not to mention, after finally obtaining your PPL and kissing $12-$15k down the drain, you need to rent planes if you don't already own one, pay exorbitant fuel costs, landing fees, and if any damage or undue maintenance comes up while renting, you pay for that as well. You need to fly regularly to stay current. If you don't, your license lapses and you're back to square one without a refund. Also if you're a bigger built person, you may not even pass the medical. If you do, your insurance rates might end up being too high to even rent a plane much less buy and insure one. If you crash and burn while flying, life insurance also will not pay out to your family as aviation is considered taking a known unnecessary risk. Happy piloting!

I disagree, but only in the order of things… There’s nothing wrong with reading up on pilot jargon, procedures, operations and those sorts of things…But hold off on trying to pass the written exam before you dive into the hands on logistics of operating the airplane. Start flying with your instructor and about midway into your training and you’ve been studying for it, you’ll be amazed how easy things come to mind for the test that you’ve been practicing real time for a month or so now in the plane. Trying to take the written before anything else will feel like trying to learn Mandarin Chinese. Spend a little time in country so to speak. Hear and watch the language and procedures in use. You’ve got plenty of time for the written before your check ride. The less stress you put on yourself, the better. Blue Skies and Tail Winds Good Luck!

You don't want to spend your money then to find out you're not healthy to fly. Step 3: ground school and prepare to take your written exam to get the pressure of the test off your shoulders because they're going to ask you the same 💩 in your oral exam and your check ride, and it pisses me off that the FAA requires a CFI to endorse you to take the exam. Step 4: once you past your exam get an instructor and learn how to fly. The scholastics and flying in the real world is two different animals, (not knocking ground school) but last I checked no one ask what your score was when you took the exam nor do they put your score on the PPL license, to be a good pilot you have to constantly fly...just pass the test. Step 5: it's good to relook at the ground school info without the pressures of an exam.
