Missing lessons, repeating lessons and failing written and practical tests can be very costly to a student pilot. It took me 4 years to get my Private Pilot's License but it wasn't because I didn't work or study hard. Several interruptions to my training put a major stress on my time and money. I want to help others avoid similar obstacles. That's why I created Part Time Pilot. Repeating lessons and tests can cost you $1000's.
