How often in life, do we have some secret dreams of things we would like to do but we always seem to put them aside? It would be a common occurrence if one were to believe the seniors that often reminisce about the things they wish they had done.
If you have a dream of becoming a Pilot then don’t put yourself in one of these Senior’s shoes regarding the wish I had done that? scenario. Make up your mind you are going to pursue your desire. At least research it and find out what it will take to make your dream come true. Doing this means, you have taken your first step toward making it a reality.
Sometimes when we want something so badly we just won’t believe it could happen so we find all kinds of excuses to make that the truth. Becoming a Pilot fits well into this category. It’s too time consuming, too much education is needed, I’m too old, or its too expensive are just some of the arguments we support our feelings with for something that we think is unattainable.
In regards to becoming, a Private Pilot lets look at some of the arguments that we just outlined.
It is too time consuming. You will be surprised to learn that it does not take years to learn to become a Private Pilot. It actually demands 40 hours of flying time, and a theory course. If you can afford to set aside time for one or two lessons a week, then it would put you right on schedule for completing the course in the average amount of time. You do not have to attend school 5 days a week. You can consider night courses at least for the theory aspect and weekends for your flying.
Too much education is required. This too is another misconception. As long as you can read, write and understand English well and you are of the age of 17 years of age or older, then you have the basic requirements. What you are going to be learning is not dependant on other academic certificates you hold from your regular education. The success of the course is dependant totally, on what you are going to be learning and studying.
I’m too old. That’s one unique thing about becoming a Private Pilot. You are never too old. If you can pass the required aviation medical examination then you are considered just as fit as that 17 year old Pilot in training you may be sitting beside.
It’s too expensive It certainly is not going to be a cheap endeavor. Then you have to consider how much is your dream worth to you. It’s no more expensive than any of the other types of recreation that we partake in. The actual training costs will be your biggest expense. If you think about it, though perhaps if you put off buying that brand new car for a year you would be able to find the money you need to pay for your training. Think about which is going to bring you more pleasure? Driving that new sports car or flying in the sky?
So now the only thing left for you to do, is go out and find the best flight training schools in your area, with the best instructors, and the best price and you will be on your way to flying high!
