Good video. One thing you forgot, though, was the cost of the Medical Certificate.
Excellent video. See if you can go backseat on instructional flights of other students – very educational and will help minimize your training time and expenses.
During my ownership of a flight school for ten years, I had two simple pieces of advice to help students learn quicker and save money. 1.) Purchase Flight Simulator software for your PC and learn it! 2.) Purchase an inexpensive
hand-held (Radio Shack) scanner and listen and learn the radio terminology.
We had more students than instructor hours available as a result.
