Flight school, or Buy an airplane?
Hi, I am 25 years old. Married, no kids. I have always wanted to be a pilot since I was about 15-16 years old. My plan now is to earm my PPL at a part 61 Operation, and then go to ATP Flight School Around September of this year. I currently have 5 hours on my log book. Here recently I thought about picking up a little Cessna 150 that is IFR certified, and paying my current instructor to continue to teach me until I can become a CFI. For multi engine ratings I could rent a plane at a local FBO. What is the best option. I don’t want to cut my career compensation down, I know ATP is a respected school in the industry. What are some thoughts on this? Last question.. I am looking to finish my bachelors degree once I earn my ratings, so I can count that towards more credit hours. Which colleges are cost effective. I had a long conversation with liberty University in Virginia.
Thanks in advance
