On path for PPL and got derailed with surgery. Would have been INFINITELY better to have more hours closer together. So proud of you for what you've accomplished. Truly nothing short of amazing, and almost like miracle territory. Congrats sir!!!
On occasion I have heard those types of comments from part 141 program graduates who somehow equate 4 years of school with less hours needed to be CFIs and less hours needed for RATP minimums as somehow being better/more experience than 61 program grads. I still haven’t figured out how my extra 500 hours of time needed for ATP minimums somehow is inferior but maybe I’m bad at math or something 🤷♂️
You hit the nail on the head, Trent. I was always baffled by the private pilot in the FBO who has been flying 30 years, has less than 1,000hrs total time and wanted to lecture me about my inexperience as an airline pilot bc I did 2,000hrs in a few years and got a CJO.
I have several pilot friends with 30+years experience flying ga, prob around 2,000 hrs total time, some with more. Exceptional pilots. Much of their experience has been gained from years of making go no go decisions, hanger flying with other pilots, dealing with maintenance issues, flying many different types of aircraft, weather and seasons and having a deep understanding of weather. Better SA and ADM than younger guys (like me) Lessons taught over many years are far more valuable than those taught over a short period of time. The brain takes time to soak in what it has learned. They have spent many more thousands of hours on the ground thinking about flying.This is valuable. Also, the type of flying maters. Your not learning much flying an xc with the autopilot on. There are no shortcuts. Keep it up Trent ur an inspiration to many.
@@nickr5658 those pilots are few and far between. I've been flying GA for 15 years, have instrcuted for 7 of those and an airline pilot for the last 5 years. Most of the GA guys and girls i know beat up the pattern on the weekend or occassionally fly short hops to an airport with food. A little about my My background: i flew for fun for 7 years, built around 500 hours TT flying VFR locally as well as across the country. Thats where i learned a lot. I then left a lucrative career to pursue an aviation career. i got my instrument, commercial single and multi, CFI, CFII and MEI all in a year. I flight instucted and landed contract gigs flying everything from a C206 to Citations and everything inbetween. i got hired by the airlines with around 2,000tt and now have almost 5,000 hours in almost 40 different airplanes, all within 15 years. The flight instructors and pilots i have learned the most are military aviators, corporate pilots, and airline pilots aka industry professionals.
Diminishing returns at some point. Flying XC for 8 hours is one thing. Going up and doing pattern work or maneuvers for 8 hours is absurd, not to mention unsafe.
LOL. Awesome journey, enjoyed watching it as you shared it. Im 100% confident in your capability to continue crushing it. Can't wait to jump on a SkyWest flight and shake your hand. You will be a great ambassador for SkyWest. Ben
If you've had adequate rest,have followed the rules and have completed the whole process in 13 months, it probably means you're motivated and physically fit( not less safe).
Congratulations on all the success. Your clearly on the opposite end of the spectrum from a Hater. Thats why they make no sense. Your a genuine Winner, so much so that your dragging many of us along and its infectious. Haters are goin to hate.... sadly , thats what they do.
Smells like jealousy to me! I have a very good friend that is at Delta...I shared your story and inspiration with him. He was such a Debbie downer about it. It was painfully obvious
In aviation I’ve learned if you did it faster, then you are more proficient and a better pilot as you don’t have to repeat lessons and finish in less time etc.
I agree. But I will say someone who’s only flown one winter and one summer lack years and that experience of having, say 5 years of flying through the different seasons would have.
….and that experience will come…but the airlines hire people all the time who have zero winter flying experience. Think about those that trained in the sunbelt.
It’s all been well-said here. I’d just add a huge congrats for aiming high, getting really focused and achieving into your goal! Can’t wait to follow along for your next phases of the journey!
I think you’re an inspiration! I’m currently in PPL training so please keep up all the content and check in with us from time to time. I have 4 hours now 😊
I agree it looks like people envy the fact that you got it done in a short amount of time. However, flying 8 hours a day in a 172 is not the best idea when it comes to safety. It leads to complacency and if anything happens you will not be as sharp as someone flying for 4 hours because your brain has already been drained.
@@trent_dyrsmid Well, it’s a risk. IMSAFE. The F stands for Fatigue. It’s what we have all been thought. Not saying you can’t do it safely, but at the end of the day, this industry has rules written in blood. Look at the airlines: 8 hour per day 100 hours per month 1,000 hours per year
I have an anecdotal experience to share. A former student of mine chose to attend another flight school to build hours as rapidly as possible. Tragically, he lost his life in an accident that, like all aviation accidents, resulted from multiple factors. What struck me the most was that he had been flying intensely, almost every day. This relentless pace likely impaired his judgment. One night, his aircraft experienced an avionics failure, and combined with Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), he lost situational awareness. His fatigue likely played a significant role in his inability to navigate out of the situation, leading to the fatal outcome.
I definitely do not fly when I’m fatigued and eight hours in a cockpit does not make me fatigued because it’s not eight consecutive hours. I have plenty of breaks during the day as a we landed various airports and I switch from student to another, take lunch, etc…
@@trent_dyrsmid Trent, just to be clear, I’m a huge supporter of what you’ve done and what you are promoting. I didn’t mean to come off as accusing you of putting yourself in a risky situation. I did find the need to say that fatigue is a huge risk factor that I feel many people now days are neglecting due to the race to the 1,500hrs. Keep up the good work
The problem with that comment is that everybody's saturation point is different. Some people can handle long durations of learning new tasks and concepts while others reach the point of diminishing returns much sooner. That is why hours doesn't mean a whole lot, what matters more is a person's ability to absorb, process, and retain knowledge and the ability to convert various amounts of short term memory into long term memory. So yeah, you can be just as well trained and competent at a year and a half or whatever as a person who's been training for twice as long. There are numerous factors that determine a person's ability to learn and retain knowledge in a short amount of time, both biological and environmental.
The ones flying rarely over many years only tend to fly in the best conditions. They lack experience imo compared to ones flying daily for eight hours as they fly what may and tend to improve their personal minimums and have overcome various scenarios. I have seen part 141 CFIs struggle to go new airports and do XCs. It’s tough to get them out of their comfort zones (their usual practice areas and usual goto airports).
You know Trent, we have an old saying that describes these kind of haters, and it say: {When the little Fox wanted to get some grapes and couldn't reach it, he says Ahhh, it's probably still Sower} You did great Trent, kudos to you and wish you more success and achievement!
It depends on the pilot. A) 1500 hour pilot, done very quickly, DOES OR DOESN’T consistently reflect for better performance. B) 1500 hour pilot, done at a slow pace, DOES OR DOESN’T consistently reflect for better performance. 1 flight hour DOES NOT always equal 1 flight hour. It depends on how the pilot reflects/interacts on/with that flight hour. Performing to the minimum is just that. The quantitative measure.
I dent remember what it's called but there is a known phenomenon that learning can plateau when doing too much practice at once. For me, I might equally trust the pilot with 1000hrs who did theirs full time as a halftime pilot who kept a regular schedule. I might trust the half time pilot more who supplemented with study and spent their fewer hours actively flying challenging conditions than the one who cruised and gotterdun!
I think many critics of these fast zero to hero programs just assume everyone is rushed to all their check rides and barely have enough ground school and overall just fall apart. Which to a degree is true. But at the same time, the individuals that DO get through it and do succeed in a fast accelerated training, they arent any worse or incompetent than another pilot. Because in the end, checkrides still must be passed. And 1 hr = 1 hr. I will say though perhaps a person that has gone through such fast training may not have seen enough take off or landing scenarios. Compared to a person who flies shorter hrs and makes more flights. 🤷♂️ But thats a can of worms I dont think people want to open. Because then we can start nitpicking about the region and weather of some schools. Flying in perfect weather versus more realistic turbulent weather.
Haters will be haters. YOU have performed the training. YOU have met and passed all exams and certifications. YOU take SAFETY as a priority and not as a secondary consideration. YOU inspired this 60 yr old retired rescue diver/firefighter that I can do this also. So I won’t be with a major/minor airline.

A safety first pilot is a safety first pilot whether 250hrs or 2500hrs. Your experience and skills are progressing. Now you are progressing to FO and will keep progressing. I would get in the airplane with you up front!
I would only say a jealousy. It’s the huge and biggest disease that unfortunately a lot of people especially in Aviation they are struggling with .hey man, I’m proud of you. I have learned a lot from you and keep the hard work. You are the best role model and example for All of Us ❤️ as a pilot. By 2027 you will be a PIC in either ERJ 175 or CRJ 200🙏🙏
Accepting the fact that you lack experience. The absolute vital trait of a seasoned aviator. After the 10000 mark I got a 737 type. I was lost for several hundred hours. My first winter, flying, deicing, I learned a lot. My first emergency, I learned a lot. Now with several thousand hours as a 737 captain. I know I lack experience. I am always careful. Don’t feel bad by accepting I have a lot to learn. I have yet to have. “The perfect flight”
I would agree with you on this one, Trent. I feel that someone who does something on a full-time basis will actually be more proficient than someone who does something on a part-time(hobby) level even if their total number of hours is the same.
Research by Anders Ericsson, a leading expert on expertise, indicates that deliberate practice, which is highly focused and structured, is most effective when done in sessions of 1-2 hours, with breaks in between. Ericsson's work suggests that top performers typically engage in about 4-5 hours of deliberate practice per day, divided into shorter sessions. Cognitive load theory, posits that human cognitive architecture can be overwhelmed by too much information at once. Studies based on this theory suggest that spreading learning over multiple sessions, rather than cramming, leads to better retention and understanding. Not saying I agree with the comments saying you're not qualified, I think your cert speaks for itself. But I can see an argument being made against the idea you're presenting in this video specifically. 8hrs a day is not necessarily better than 4hrs a day.
But you are forgetting one thing. I’m not the one doing the learning. It is my students and my students are learning in sessions of approximately two hours. With that said, it is a refreshing change to see someone actually presenting science versus just spouting off an uninformed opinion….so yay for that!
13 months is way too fast. I’m sorry. The ground time studying is more valuable than checking the hours box. You can not do both in that short amount of time. There’s a big difference fm a pilot who is just a technician, than an Aviator obsessed with flight! It’s sad to see the profession that used to be a calling just default to a job checking boxes as fast as possible. Maybe I’m just an old legacy Captain. With that said I really do wish you the best. Keep growing and I employ you to be involved in the flight standards department asap. It will force you to be the best version of yourself! Good luck again
Thx James! And maybe come fly with me to see that I’m the exception to your comment. Not everyone can learn and retain fast, but some can. Just ask the military.
I’m a newly minted commercial pilot and I think I was 100% safer than my past instructor who obviously had a lot more hrs and experience. Some people with a lot more experience become complacent and that could be dangerous
Your becoming "popular" haters will hate. Your in the "Arena". I wouldn't waste time trying to solve the riddle of "how does one keep a crab in a bucket". (A. Place a other crab with it).
ok, let me give you another wired comment...why don't you work on your Ham radio tech license...cross reference your knowledge...and in fact with your "PPL" you can make a DIYer "aircraft dispatcher" another tool in the tool box when flying PRIVATE Pilot cert. only! NOT for the purpose of saying hello to a stranger! Using using echolink and allstar and maybe SSTV for images...notice the kings have that license
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It all helps my channel to grow and help more guys/gals like us!! That’s waaaay out of my wheelhouse.
The cert is the only proof. It really doesn’t matter our cards are all the same after we pass the checkride. But if I do 20 landings per week vs 2 better bet, mine are butter smooth 😎
Someone that posts something like that without an explanation is just a troll trying to live rent free in your head. It reminds me when I was a kid and my parents told me to ignore my brother because he’s just trying to get a reaction out of you.
@trent_dyrsmid well as I said before I have no skin in the game, I never saw your original content, have no idea about what you do. UPenn has a good article on making sure adequate sleep is gained inorder to create memories and aid in learning. for example if you *also* have a full time job, 8 hours there, *and* doing flying would not leave you with enough time to get adequate sleep etc
@@trent_dyrsmid Absolutely love your content. Please keep it up! Would you FaceTime or watch a video while driving? I put making a video while driving, since your eye contact was often on the phone, as contrary to good pilot decision making. My comment was not to be snarky, whatsoever. It was a literal request and recommendation for your safety and those around you. Please reconsider. Even while mounted, using your phone to record or stream video falls under the distracted driving laws. Some states have now specifically included it. It's even now illegal to check your phone directly while stopped in traffic or a red light (OK on integrated vehicle screen). I would like you to be safe and flying/driving for a long time. Would love to fly with you if passing through Houston. Take care!
Smells like jealousy to me!
Good question. They are absent logic, reason or truth. Don't fly with them.

The cert is the only proof. It really doesn’t matter our cards are all the same after we pass the checkride. But if I do 20 landings per week vs 2 better bet, mine are butter smooth 😎
🙌🙌
Lol don’t listen to those bozos
I wish I could do my training that fast
🙌
Someone that posts something like that without an explanation is just a troll trying to live rent free in your head.
It reminds me when I was a kid and my parents told me to ignore my brother because he’s just trying to get a reaction out of you.
Sage advice!
Haters gonna hate
Indeed they are.
I dont got skin in this game, but I will say, 4 hours for twice as many days gives more sleep periods where your brain saves information
Can you point to some science to back that up?
@trent_dyrsmid well as I said before I have no skin in the game, I never saw your original content, have no idea about what you do. UPenn has a good article on making sure adequate sleep is gained inorder to create memories and aid in learning. for example if you *also* have a full time job, 8 hours there, *and* doing flying would not leave you with enough time to get adequate sleep etc
I get 8 hours every night.
You’re posting videos in the aviation world, lots of large egos involved. Simple explanation
Agree!!!
I like all your videos but maybe no more driving videos just seems a little reckless
Good thing you’ve NEVER texted or taken a call while driving. Phew!!! 🤦♂️
@@trent_dyrsmid we're all supporters and just want to see you succeed but ok
Sorry if I misunderstood the time of your comment. I get plenty of trolls and if I respond to them, I tend to be kinda terse.
Ignore the naysayers 💪🏼
I do. I actually find them to be rather entertaining 🤣
PS. People are addicted to their sour grapes. 😊
Bahahahaha
Haters will hate
Indeed.
Please don't drive while making a video...
Please don’t ever talk on your phone or send a text while driving.
@@trent_dyrsmid Absolutely love your content. Please keep it up! Would you FaceTime or watch a video while driving? I put making a video while driving, since your eye contact was often on the phone, as contrary to good pilot decision making. My comment was not to be snarky, whatsoever. It was a literal request and recommendation for your safety and those around you. Please reconsider. Even while mounted, using your phone to record or stream video falls under the distracted driving laws. Some states have now specifically included it. It's even now illegal to check your phone directly while stopped in traffic or a red light (OK on integrated vehicle screen). I would like you to be safe and flying/driving for a long time. Would love to fly with you if passing through Houston. Take care!

Sound like jealous haters to me.
Yup.
Your math seems sound! 🤓🤓
It is!
