Flight training?

Question

My friend was in a flight program at his school that would allow him to recieve his pilot's liscense when he's 17 which is in 3 months. The program was canceled a few weeks ago and he found out it will cost him $17,000 to finish his training. He cant afford to continue it and this is his life. Any ideas on how he could continue his training would be very helpful.

Answer 1

He could look for scholarships and apply for federal grants. Otherwise take out a student loan.

Answer 2

It usually costs $5,000-8,000 for all the training needed to get one's PPL. He might want to look at other flight schools and see how much they would charge.

Answer 3

Why dont he try this website http://beapilot.com/. Im interested in flying too. Even if the program was cancled he can try to resume were he was at with a new flight school. He could give the new flight school teacher were he left off at and what he already know. It would hurt to go over a few " hard to learn steps ". Good luck to you and your friend !
