I want to get my bachelors and get my pilots license around the same time so I can work as a flight instructor fulltime to get my 1500 hours. (I've already been in college for 2 years) Is this really possible? Or is pilot school "book work" too excruciating? Some details. I go to college full-time for physics only on 2 days out of the week but the classes are hard and my work schedule is not bad I work part-time around 20 hours a week. They are very lenient on scheduling. Has anyone done it? Thank you.
Have you looked into universities with flight programs? For instance, at Perdue you could come away with both a first rate Physics degree and a 141 training certificate, and reduced R-ATP mins. These programs are also designed (scheduled) to blend flying and academics.
Worth a look if you hadn’t already. There’s many options out there to do exactly what you’re trying to brew yourself.
