However, very few people achieve this goal and live their dream. Those who are lucky enough would either get into the military and become a military pilot, or be chosen for one of the very few civilian sponsored programs with an airline.

The main problem that the flying enthusiasts face on their way to become a pilot, is the cost of learning to fly. Becoming a pilot is a very costly affair, so budgeting is very important when it comes to flight training.

Did you know that starting your flight training in the wrong time of the year or taking a flight skills test on a bad day would cost you more money to obtain your licence. Over the period of your flight training, even these simple things would give rise to significant extra expenses towards your flight training. If you do not know what to
expect, it could stop you in your tracks due to lack of funding.

With my 40+ years in the industry both as a pilot and a flying instructor in the military as well as civil aviation, I have seen time and time again how mystudents struggle with finances.

So, if you want to become a pilot without wasting money or time, makesure you keep an eye on your finances, and manage your flying training budget really well.
