Here is my timeline of how I did my training and how you can do yours! Remember, I did all of my training outside of a university while getting an online degree through Utah Valley University.
June 2012: Started Private Flying lessons. Went everyday sometimes twice a day for almost the whole summer.
Sept 2012: Private License complete at 51 hours.
Oct 2012: Instrument training
Winter 2012: Minor setback due to weather and financial reasons.
Spring 2013: Instrument training
Early Summer 2013: Instrument check ride at 200 hours
Summer 2013: Internships and commercial flight training.
October 2013: Commercial multi and single check ride on same day
November 2013: Applied at MANY companies.
December 2013: One of my summer internships turned into a full time flying position!
Throughout my training I worked as a ramp/gate agent for Cape Air airlines. This helped me save money for more time building and multi engine opportunities. The aviation job market is growing and all indications say it will continue to grow into the near future.
Congratulations! Now you’re a full-fledged pilot, which I think is one of the best jobs in the world. Not only will you be paid handsomely, you also get to see the world. Who wouldn’t love that? I know you will do well. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteHey man, I'm 16 and have a passion for flying. Being a pilot is my dream. So, I asked my parents yesterday, they said yes!!
ReplyDeleteI live in Singapore, not sure if the airport will allow us to do a check ride (its a major airport)
So do I just go ahead and start flying school?
It would be great if I got some advice from you!
