    If you have any significant medical history, it can take up to a year to get a medical. I’m a cancer survivor and I had to come up with an extra $3500 for neuropsychological and heart testing, and that included going through referral loopholes so I could qualify to use my health insurance, otherwise it would have been over 5k in testing. Also the neuropsychological test cannot qualify for insurance. My tests went well and after 8 months I finally got my first class medical with no neuropsychological impairment and no heart issues.

    Do you have any tips to keep motivation up? I am currently learning with your ground school however I feel like I’m studying less and less because I feel like I’m not retaining the information and it makes learning not fun if I’m not actually “learning.”

  • @PilotInstituteAirplanes

    Here are two things that have worked for us: 1. The best way to retain information is to "recall" it. Flashcards are a great way to do this, and we have a dedicated flashcard app for this reason. Quizzes are fantastic, too (we have exciting news to share about this soon). Watch the lessons, but combine other learning methods to keep retention high. 2. If you're struggling with the motivation to start a study session, use the "20-minute rule." Only commit to 20 minutes of studying, with no exceptions. The most difficult part of studying is getting started. If you only commit to 20 minutes, it makes it a lot easier to start. The best part? You will almost always study for more than 20 minutes once you get going!

    Just keep at it. Repeat lessons. Watch youtube videos on the subjects you struggle more with. It will eventually click. I felt I had gotten at least a 70 but I got a 92 on my written. I really studied on calculations and E6B as well as the cx3 calculator. Turns out I only got 2 calculation questions. Everything was informational. I found that I had retained a lot of info.

    How do people pay for their flying lessons all the way to commercial? Are there federal loans? Anything?

  • @Kevin-438

    Ай бұрын

    If you go the degree route like at Embry Riddle, you can get federal loans. BUT! It’s not enough because the government only pays for educational expenses and flying is not the education side. Which is dumb because it’s the most expensive part. Most people will go with private loans. There’s a few out there like Stratus, Meritize, Sallie Mae and others. I’m in a part 141 degree program. So that has more perks. The program I’m in is estimated at 80k inflated costs. But it takes 2 years because there are classes on the side you have to take. Which I don’t mind because they’re relevant. Be careful with estimated costs at some schools. Most list bare minimums and you will most likely go over that. But my program has free simulator time, self check authority and offers a RATP rating which allows you to fly for airlines at 1250 hours instead of 1500. This video is more a guideline but there are many factors. Like DPEs are in high demand and many people especially at part 61 schools wait 2-6 months for a check ride waiting on a DPE. Schools with self check authority don’t have to wait on an outside check instructor. 👍🏼

    Is it possible to pursue self-study for ground school after obtaining a medical certification and then attend a flight school to pass the written exam and only pay for the flight portion? Or is that pathway only based upon the flight school?

    Think about the implications of self studying for this big of an exam. Our course, for example, is 35 hours long. At only $199, depending on how you value your time, it's a cheap price to pay to have all the information in one place, easy to study. If you study on your own and go to a flight school to get an endorsement, you will pay $70/hr with an instructor one-on-one for them to verify you have the correct knowledge. If you spend more than 3 hours with an instructor (you will), you will pay more than a ground school study program.
