Hello,
I have been researching about flight schools because I am interested in becoming an airline pilot. I have looked at some local flight schools in this area and almost decided to go to the ATP Long Beach one.
But I want to try to get PPL first at somewhere else to save money and also to find out if I really like to become a commercial pilot.
1)
So, can you please SUGGEST any school/club in SoCal where I can get the PPL training? It would be great if,
- it takes 2~3 months (5 months at the most) to get the certificate
- since ATP requires 80TT to start with PPL, I wish the TOTAL price (training for PPL & renting fee after getting PPL to fill up the time) is LESS than $13,000.
*$13,000 is the difference between starting ATP with and without PPL
2)
Also, is there any other option beside going to flight school for PPL?
For example, working with a CFI privately, joining a club, or anything else?
I don't know anyone who's related to this aviation field
, so please give me any suggestion. I would really appreciate your help.
