Default Question about Learning to fly

Hey,

First if this post is in the wrong section please move it for me

Basically I am in Year 11 this year so one more left to go. I was wondering if you guys think I should wait it out to continue flying lessons (Ive done an hour) or do them now, whilst I am at school?

Just everyones opinions would be great!

Thanks,

Logan

If you can afford it go for it! It's never too early to start. If money is tight, look into glider flying. It's cheaper and can build solid fundamentals that can help later on...

The earlier, the better. But do not sacrifice college for flying, you will need a four degree in aviation.

Default sorry to thread jack

sorry to thread jack... but,

If someone did want to work on their private pilot certificate while going to school, about how much flying would they need to do each month to be making efficient progress, and what would be a good estimate of the cost.

I'm in college, and am interested in flying, but i'm thinking that I couldn't afford to fly often enough for it to be a good use of my money.

thanks,
