    To be honest it depends on the airline. Some will pay the whole cost of type rating for you and will bond you with them for a period of time. Some will ask you to cover 50% and then pay the rest in instalments. Airlines offer varying financing to accommodate their pilots. You just have to worry about acing your training and exams, rest will fall in its place. Happy Flying…

    Most full time Part 61 and 141 schools will have you average 2 flight lessons a week. Each flight lesson should average 2 hours of flight time. No flight lesson except for your cross country flights should ever be three hours or more. Any lesson more than two hours becomes counterproductive. You reach a level of information saturation and a point of negative returns at or before the two hour mark. With that in mind, your flight training curriculum should consist of 20 flights. The FAA only requires 10 of those flights (written in the regs as 20 hours) to be with an instructor. Which means that you should be able to complete the 40 hours in 10 weeks. Even if half of the time, your area is hit with adverse weather, that would mean you could finish your Private Pilot Certificate in 4-5 months. If you spend the remainder of the year building time and getting your Instrument Rating, you can accumulate the 250 flight hours necessary to get your Commercial and Instructor Rating. Then, you can start getting paid while you work your way up to getting a Multi-Engine Rating. This could all be done in about a year. After that, it is just a matter of continuing to work any flying or instructing job in order to accrue the remainder of the 1500 hours necessary for an ATP.

    national average of flight time to pass FAA check-ride to get your PPL is not 40 (the minimum) its 75 hours, almost double the time and PRICE. Beware schools will try to convince you can pass on the minimums thus a lower price and that is why the number one reason people drop out of flight school is due to unexpected expenses and the drop out rate is over 50% Dont expect to be Johnny-on-the-spot

    @@sumtingwong8768 - Yes, you are right. Beware of flight school overpromising and under delivering. One of the main reasons that the US National average to achieve your Private Pilot Certificate is 60-75 hours is because the majority of flight schools are Part 61 part-time flight schools. Most students attending those schools are waiting an extended period of time between each flight lesson. The key to cutting down on the number of hours you will need in order to get you Private is to take at least one, but no more than three flight lessons per week. Also, limit your flight lessons to two hours each. Any more time per flight lesson in overkill and counterproductive. Part 141 and Part 142 schools have set curriculums to achieve benchmarks at specific hours of flight. These are usually full-time schools where the curriculum is 5 days a week. The non-flight time is filled with academic studies and simulator time. In a perfect world, just go ahead and do a simultaneous Private-Instrument Certificate at 100 hours. A Private without an Instrument Rating is a hazard.

    A few corrections and clarifications need to be made. In the US: - You have to have a Student Pilot Certificate to apply for a Private Pilot Certificate. - You have to have a Private Pilot Certificate in any aircraft type to apply for a Commercial Pilot Certificate in any aircraft type. Even glider. It does not have to be the same type. - You only need a Student Pilot Certificate to apply for a Private Pilot Certificate in Multi-Engine Aircraft. - You are not required to have an Instrument Rating to get a Commercial Pilot Certificate. But, it will be a requirement of most employers. - You have to have a Commercial Pilot Certificate and an Instrument Rating in any type of aircraft to apply for an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate in any aircraft type. It does not have to be in the same type. Although, you will need a multi-engine time and a multi-engine ATP for most employers. - No Type Rating is needed to apply for any of these Certificates. Most employers are paying pilots to get their type rating when they are hired. Those that are not paying type rating costs are not airlines. - You do not need 250 hours of flight time for a Multi-Engine Rating. - You only need 40 flight hours for a Private Multi-Engine Certificate. Only 3 of those hours have to be in a multi-Engine aircraft. - You only need 250 flight hours for a Commercial Multi-Engine Certificate. Only 10 of those hours have to be in a multi-Engine aircraft. - A pilot applying for an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate has to have a minimum of 750 (military) to 1500 hours of flight time. None of it has to be Multi-Engine. Although, most airlines will require their own minimum Multi-Engine time. But, other employers will require less.

Texas, Arizona, Florida, and parts of California are great locations to get the best flying weather. L3 Harris and CAE seem to be good companies.

    Here is a harder but cheaper way:join the US Air Force, sign a 10 year contract with the Air Force, they will train you and then the government will pay for your education, like college, flight school, and others (depends on years of service). You can write on your job application form that you have been in the Air Force before, being in the Air Force will increase your chance of getting hired if you write it on your resume because this means you had previous experience with piloting, and have preformed tasks much harder than that of training courses that normal applicators would have taken. Unrelated to this is also that serving in the air force could bring major benefits, such as no property tax and other good benefits.

    The insane thing about the industry offsetting so much expense onto the employee, the pilot, to het trained for the job, is that they would never do it for such a little return on investment. We're talking about forcing pilots to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to just be able to be hired for a job where they will be paid just enough that they would likely need a decade or longer to pay off the debt. That means that while they are paying off the debt, they are going to have a very difficult time living a comfortable life or growing their own finances. For a business, that would be considered a terrible move. Yet somehow we've gotten to the point where it's become commonaly accepted that people have to put themselves into massive debt to buy their way into a job where the company feels no obligation to pay for that debt, whipe reaping immense benefit from the training it gave. Add to this the extortion powers companies gain from all this. If they paid to train the staff, it would be in their financial best interest to hold onto the employee. When they don't, and there are only so many jobs for people with such training, they can take advantage by threatening to fire them and get someoje else. It won't effect them, because they hold zero financial obligation. Just another way corporate America has basically become the new mafia.

You also can get flying with an airline on a CPL (frozen ATPL) in Europe, so there isnt a need for the 1500 hours.

Look into ROTC, which is where you go to a normal college while also doing some military training every week, and you can commission as an officer upon graduating. ROTC can pay for a large part if not all of your college education.

    Well I'm not a pilot, but God's will, I plan to go to the airforce for 4 years then leave and go to a public university doing my flight training there while having the GI bill from the airforce pay for everything. In order to get the full affect from the GI bill, you have to do at least 3 years of active duty in the air force. I don't want to be a fighter pilot so I don't have to worry about doing 10-12 years of commitment. Don't stress yourself out. I recommend talking to a recruiter and or getting an internship with somewhere like Textron aviation or Signature flight support. ☝️Last year I was an intern at Textron and now I'm an intern at Signature and boy have I learned a lot. Hope this helps. Just speak up and go after it because you'll get it and if you don't...Then God has something better for you.

    Better to go from ppl to ifr to commercial and then to cfi. If doing ifr first, you are only held to ppl standards when doing your ifr checkride. But if you get commercial first and then get instrument rating, you are held to commercial standards. Going the CFI route is good way to build time but also another way is to tow banners.
