• Answer:

  Let me share with you how I went about to getting my license, This is a letter that I wrote to other persons asking about becoming a pilot: I’m a current Grad Student at Embry, and I got a Bachelor’s of Science in Professional Aeronautics (BSPA) and a Minor in Aviation Safety. I got it through an extended campus now called Embry Riddle Worldwide. They are over 130 centers throughout the US and many countries. They are very cheap tuitions as compared to main campus, and more practical for pilots and mechanics. Let me share with you how and where I did my training, it just might be of interest to you. I started out by going to main campus Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fl. I went there for 1 term before I realized the training environment and hellacious costs were way too over the top. I had no experience in aviation, and I had no family members in aviation, but I knew I wanted to be a pilot, and I chose Embry Riddle because their name popped up everywhere I asked. However, I did my homework as you are doing right now, and I found that there was a flight school near where I lived in Hillsboro, Or. Hillsboro Aviation is the name of the school, and they had just started a 141 approved flight program in a partnership with Portland Community College (PCC). PCC was offering an Associates of Applied Science is Aviation Science. The degree program was designed for men and women who wanted to get their flight training from private through instrument flight instructor in two years while attaching and AAS to the resume. I started that program and instantly saw a great opportunity to accelerate my career. I finished my private, and then started my instrument rating. I got that in a couple months and then went strait into my commercial training. I was in commercial training for about 6 months, and as most people do, I did my mult-engine training during this time. This is done because as the Federal Aviation Administration has established, it is possible to take your single / multi commercial check ride in one day to save a lot of hassle and money. It made for a longer day, but saved me from having to pay for another examiner. Once I got my commercial license, I went to the Embry Riddle extended campus 10 miles away from my house and enrolled in their BSPA program. I transferred in 33 semester credit hours for my commercial license, and another 34 or so from Portland Community College. See the BSPA program is actually a program which gives students credit for their experience in aviation, so the major for the degree is strictly you based off of licenses and nothing else. This meant that I only had to compete minor and some upper level electives to finish the degree. I only took 15 total classes from the extended campus at cost of $8,000, so my bachelor’s was very affordable. Then community college courses, only cost me $4,000, and the flight training of course cost the most, but nothing compare to the 150,000 dollar bill to going to main campus for four years. My total flight cost at the time was $40,000 for a total of $52,000 for everything. Their prices have since increased, and Hillsboro Aviation is now costing around $51,000 for the professional pilot program, but that gets your private, instrument, commercial single / multi, CFI (Certified Flight Instructor), CFII (Certified Instrument Flight Instructor), and MEI (Multi-engine Instructor). Aviation has a philosophy of new bee’s teaching new bees, and as a flight instructor, you can build the necessary hours to land a job with the airlines. Look around and see what you find, you might find some interesting options. As a note of advice though, 141 approved flight programs are more structured, faster paced, and as a result, less hour requirements. If you stay sharp, you can hit those hours on the head and save a lot of money. If you’re interested in what 141 means, it’s a section in the federal aviation regulations. IN other words, it’s a different set of training laws than found under part 61. Which is far less structured, has higher hour requirements, but it has its advantages as well. You have more control over your training, and you don’t have to follow the structured syllabus for 141 school. If you can find a flight school that has very good rates, check them out, but they don’t have the training resources like the 141 schools, and the time frame is generally longer. Also one last thing, Hillsboro Aviation is also a helicopter school if that interests you, and they have hundreds of international students each year, as do many schools in the US. Good luck on you dreams
