3. If you and your parents and grandparents make less than a combined $150,000 a year flight school financing for the amount required is more challenging as banks are wary of loaning money to folks they don't think can repay the loan. A $65,000 Corvette is easier to finance than helicopter training because they can repossess the car but can't take away your education. The helicopter licenses require the expensive flying in the helicopter. However, the virtually free studying for the written exams can be done by reading books and perhaps you could get the books or borrow them and pass your written exams for Private, Commercial, Fundamentals of Instruction and Certified Flight Instructor. With these exams completed (we'll give you the necessary signoff after a review) you can take an exam and become an advanced ground instructor and be paid to be in the aviation community. You can study on your own or take a local ground school course, buy a DVD course to help you prepare or you can go to college and take classes that give you college credit or do a combination of all of these.
4. If you are eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill understand that those benefits to veterans kick in after you pay for your private rating which would average 60 hours at $250 per hour. Call us about this: 561-346-2816.
