From my understanding the entire process from start to finish costs around $20,000. I'm still determined but given my financial situation I can't help but feel slight discouragement. I just figured I'd ask here if anyone has any advice.
Now I'm seeing some stuff online that says it can cost up to $100,000+
It was $20,000 in 1980.
Most programs run closer to $65,000+.
You can get financial aid/student loans for university programs to include the flight training since it is a degree requirement. For non-university programs such as AllATPs or your local part 61 flight school there aren't many options I know of belong saving pennies and paying, or working the ramp as you go.
