Completion of your training depends on how often you plan to fly, how much you can afford financially, and how quickly you learn the material and maneuvers. It varies for different individuals, but normally the quickest you will complete a private pilot rating is 6-8 weeks. You are encouraged to work at your own pace and training should never be rushed. Normally, trainees should complete no more than one flight period per day (about 1.5 hours). See similar questions...

We get this question every day. We have spent thousands of hours and over $100,000 dollars researching and compiling the information into something useful that you can use. The small fee of $19.99 helps to defray the costs for maintaining the web space, programming, the staff, and the ongoing research. While we would love to simply give this information away that is simply not practical. See similar questions...

Skill and the right attitude are paramount. Being a pilot is more than just flying. It is ground work, machine maintenance and dedication to the employer and clients. Due to the nature of this career, one should be willing to relocate to where the work is - often to remote areas, handle shift scheduling (two weeks on, two weeks off type of thing), and always maintain a safety-first attitude.

To be successful at finding work as a helicopter pilot you must put together an effective campaign to market yourself to potential employers. A disadvantage you have is that you are an entry level pilot with minimum experience. Potential employers might be quick to dismiss you on this basis alone but what you can do to make your situation more attractive is to research the industry thoroughly and learn as much as you can about the employers you would like to work for.

There are some programs that provide funding for homeowners, but they are based on income rather than the fact that the building has been declared historic.

The vast majority of grants and scholarships come from one of three sources – the federal government, the student’s home state government or the individual college involved. However, there are lots of places to look for other private scholarships including the Internet and local organizations.
