I'm trying to take practical / economical routes so I can immerse myself. I've learned from other threads that the most expensive program doesn't always equate to the best experience or quality training.

I'm learning and researching practical options. Maybe some initial domestic long hauls (after finishing PPL single engine) then taking it from there.

So I reached out to a few flight schools in my area. I got all kinds of quotes from $9,000 - $15,000 for my PPL training / cert etc. The wide range seems confusing. They all seem to cover materials, etc. Some of the books I could pick up myself on Amazon at a fraction of the quotes. The pricing...

It's definitely not a troll post. I've kept up with this forum for a long time without registering as a member because I wasn't ready to contribute much. However (and candidly speaking) I'm at a phase now where I've done the motorcycle and cars thing (I still do bikes, cars not so much anymore)...

Hello, I'm turning 40 this year, and I have decided to pursue my passion for flying that I've put off for so many years. I'm considering diving straight into multi-engine training. I wanted some input. I would like to fly trans atlantic in 2 - 3 years after completing my training. Any input /...
