consistancy is the Key to success in this business. If you have a limited budget there is plenty of financing options for you. If that is out of the question and you want to do it on your own then try. I have been a flight instructor at the local FBO's for a year now. I have seen very few people that plan to spread this training out over a year continue for very long. Don't get sucked into the minimum requirements that all the FBO's tell you that it will take to get your PPL the National average is 55-65 hours flight training. Again this is all dependent upon your learining curve and CONSISTANT training. GOOD LUCK
