Great video man! For those of you considering this career, subscribe to this channel, it’s a must. Your mock check ride videos really helped me along my journey to becoming an airline pilot. I just finished my first year at the regionals, and looking back I really enjoyed the road to 1500 hours. One piece of advice I have for people getting their first commercial job, don’t be afraid of CFII positions in high cost of living areas. I instructed in LA, in well maintained airplanes and very educated and successful students. It was a great time. At first I was really hesitant to take a job in LA because of the HCOL but it was worth it and I got phenomenal experience. Plus good weather year round so it only took 2 years to get my hours.
Well thank you explaining the FAA requirements which I have never quite understood as a British ATP pilot. There are a few flights schools in UK approved by the CAA(British FAA) with full-time courses and very experienced ground and flight instructors. These courses last approx. 13-15 months. They consist of about a month of ground school before starting flying. The flying is 200 hours, including 50 under instruction, then 25 hours(now increased to 35 hours) on a twin for instrument flying. One takes the CPL test on the single and the instrument test on the twin, all conducted by examiners employed by CAA. Equipped with CPL and I/R one goes straight to an airline for type training, then onto line flying. Years ago I did it this way. I had never been up in an aircraft even as a passenger when I applied to an airline for this sponsored course. After a 3-day assessment course I was accepted. I was sent solo after 6.5 hours, did my 200 hours and CPL flight test, then onto the twin(fast slippery Cessna 310). Then the I/R test after only 23.5 hours(extra 1.5 hours was done on test) - passed and hit the ceiling when I was told. I was sent straight to the airline and from starting the training course it was 18 months until I was in the RH seat on commercial flights. The airline sponsored 10 of us on that course and all passed. I believe that was due to the excellent instructors we had not our own abilities. As were the rest of my instructors in BA and I ended up as a Captain on B737. Does the US have anything like this? I do not know what a similar course would cost now, but people finance themselves - no sponsorships now - but are earning after 18 months and much more than I got in 1967 (£1,390 per year), but my course was free - just to p*ss you all off.
A fast track to the airlines would go through ATP flight training for anyone is the US. Some airliners offer scholarship / pay for training but its required you work for them after you get checked out and you have obtained your minimum hours.
Doing my EOC stage check tomorrow and I’m at 94 hours mostly because of work delays then having to catch up again. Your videos have been extremely beneficial and I highly recommend your courses. Btw I just turned 60 and only need my private pilot but it’s never too late to start imo. Dennis KVNC.
i got about 8 hours into my training and was trying to get my 1st class med but because i had a felony 6 years prior the FAA made me take multiple random drug tests and provide a ton of documentation. after everything they finally told me to psychiatrist / neuropsychologist and i was looking upward to 10k just for those fees and my AME told me even if i did complete those the FAA could still drag me around to do whatever nonsense they wanted to prove myself to them and that’s when i stepped away. put in about 5k and a year of my time and a ton of studying but im glad i dealt with all of it earlier than later into getting my license. i hope this can help someone make a informed decision if they happen to have the same background as me.
This is the best video I’ve seen on the process! Thank you so much! I’m looking to get my Private Pilot before summer. The goal is eventually the airlines! 😊
The 100 hours of PIC time for commercial do not have to be solo. You could bring your CFI with you if you want to, you would need to have final authority over the flight.

There is another way to do it. Join the Air Force. Best yet, with a college degree and a Private Pilot Certificate, you should find an Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard unit to send you to Pilot training. Get paid to log the required hours.
@@rbreeze789 sure there is. You would join enlisted and continue to work towards your bachelor degree. Find a unit with enlisted flyers, tankers, cargo planes. Etc. this will help accustom you to military flying. I highly recommend finding a Reserve or Guard unit. That way, you are still free to pursue an airline career.
how do you find a place that will get you in the Sim For ATP CTP, Im trying to do my own ATP cant find a place to do it at. Im assuming probably Dallas ?
Medical classes NEVER change. The privileges change but NOT the class of the medical. A First Class Medical is ALWAYS a first class Medical for example.
I took offense... I dropped out of high school and just recently got my pilots license.😂😂 I fortunately turn my life around and managed to get several college degrees
Being a dropout definitely doesn't just mean a having a back trait or making the wrong choice. For a lot of people it was the right choice. Take Steve Jobs for example, he was a college dropout.
Great Video. Love the format to know what is needed. This is my new reference to see what you gotta go do. thanks
Glad it was helpful! Share it around!

Is it possible to go to flight school/college for aviation with a ged?
Great quality video I love the graphics and all the info!
Glad you enjoyed!

Love the old air whiskey gear!!! Times are so amazing now!!!! Printing money at the airlines! Best job in the WORLD
It's certainly a lot different now than 10 years ago!
This is the best video I’ve seen on the process! Thank you so much! I’m looking to get my Private Pilot before summer. The goal is eventually the airlines! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy watching your videos. They are always informative.
I appreciate that!
love this video, so helpful
The first step is actually to get your medical certificate atleast number 1
The 100 hours of PIC time for commercial do not have to be solo. You could bring your CFI with you if you want to, you would need to have final authority over the flight.
Thank you so much for breaking them down very grateful 🙏🏾🙏🏾
No problem 👍
very informative video. thank you!
Thank you, glad you found it helpful!
Great video!
Thanks! Share it around for us!
Hi do you have any video of you doing a VFR flight tutorial from start to finish ? Thanks great channel

Welcome!
Remember the BasicMed option. A great alternative depending on your long term goal.
can't get basicmed unless you get a 3rd class first
Can you get your CPL and CFI at the same time?
Your hours will transfer over but in terms of training, no, one step at a time.
There is another way to do it. Join the Air Force. Best yet, with a college degree and a Private Pilot Certificate, you should find an Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard unit to send you to Pilot training. Get paid to log the required hours.
Yep.
If you don't mind the 12 year commitment that is a great route to go!
Is there a way into that with associate degree? Or don’t even bother until bachelor degree.
@@rbreeze789 sure there is. You would join enlisted and continue to work towards your bachelor degree. Find a unit with enlisted flyers, tankers, cargo planes. Etc. this will help accustom you to military flying. I highly recommend finding a Reserve or Guard unit. That way, you are still free to pursue an airline career.
You make it sound so simplistic.
how do you find a place that will get you in the Sim For ATP CTP, Im trying to do my own ATP cant find a place to do it at. Im assuming probably Dallas ?
You can connect an airliner that you are considering and they will point you in the right direction
Well sounds great, the schools or academy are too expensive. 70k 100k USA 😢.
Do research on airliners that will help you with the costs but remember you will most likely be working for them.
Very nice
Medical classes NEVER change. The privileges change but NOT the class of the medical. A First Class Medical is ALWAYS a first class Medical for example.
Probably I haven't cought your message, but author means as "class" a level of pilots health, but not a levels of doctors skills.
@@baloobear70 your comment makes zero sense. Leave this to us pilots please and stop spreading nonsense on the internet.
How much it cost to start from zero to 1500 hours by training courses not by any other job stuff?
if you dont want to a job to build your hours then your going to have to buy a plane and fly it on your own dime to get to the 1500 mark
is algebra, trigonometry and calculus important in this case? probably trigonometry very important…
Basic algebra is all that is really needed for flight school

can you talk about how to improve you English
To improve your English language ability spend all the spare time you have on listening to English and reading English.
Thank you 💓. I want an effective method because I wasted time on things that I did not find any benefit from@@shoogeveen
Im sure there are some great youtube channels out there but yes, forcing yourself to read and write/listen in English is going to help alot
The first step is not to quit when it gets hard ….
Yammynoob is that you?
Aren't these Xtratuf? ;)
Indeed!
I’m more specialer
We know
I have 2500 hours as a commercial glider pilot. Does this count in total hours for commercial power carts?
yes but you still need the minimum hours required in part 61.195 www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-61/subpart-G#61.159
