Part Time Pilot: The Smarter, more Affordable way to Learn to Fly

Go ask 100 student pilots or Private Pilots & ask them the #1 hurdle to becoming a pilot. When you do, you’ll find the vast majority of answers is Money. When I started Part Time Pilot I didn’t want to just say “it is the way it is”, instead, I wanted to do something about it.

That is why I made the core mission of Part Time Pilot to help student pilot’s save time and money because when they save time or money during the process of ground and flight training their chances of achieving their dreams of flying increase!

And the #1 way to help student pilot’s save time and money is to make well educated student pilots

If student pilots are able to master the required knowledge to become a pilot prior to having too many flight lessons, their flight lessons will go smoother with less mistakes and less repeated lessons. Every time a student repeats a flight lesson it costs them anywhere from $200 to $500 depending on how long the lesson is and the cost of renting the aircraft and instructor. So repeating these lessons really adds up. 

Easily the most common reason student pilots have to pause or repeat flight lessons is because they are behind the aircraft mentally. When a student is in the seat thinking about how things work, they can’t focus on flying and they make mistakes. Their flight instructor realizes this and either makes them repeat the lesson until they get it, or pause lessons so they can do 1 on 1 ground school at $50, $60 or $70 a session. 

We advise students to perform ground school first in our FREE email course on How to Become a Pilot & Save Money which you can get here. This course was the very first course I ever made and sets the foundation for saving the absolute most money during flight training and avoid breaking the bank to make your dream possible. The tips and tricks in this free course are just another way we help student pilots save time and money. 

Here are some other ways we are different from other ground schools by focusing on saving student money:

• Lifetime access to our courses with all updates free so no course needs to ever be purchased again
• 4 yearly scholarships that only our members are eligible for
• Lessons that leave no stone unturned while also delivering concepts in easy to understand terms so that NO additional study content, books or ground instruction needs to be purchased
• Audio lessons of every single topic so students can save time while learning on the go
• 100% mobile friendly lessons and content to study where and when you want
• Flash cards, quizzes, practice tests and test prep material so that NO additional test prep needs to be purchased
• 7 day a week email support, online study community and AI trained instructor chats to get any question answered at any time of day which negates the need for students to have 1 on 1 ground lessons with their flight instructor at $50/$60/$70 an hour or more
• 100% money back guarantee and 99.9% success rate history for the FAA Written exam. So in the highly unlikely case a student fails the exam, they get their money back

No other online ground school has all these features centered around the core principal of helping the student pilot save time and money. You might think we are the most expensive online ground school out there after reading these features… nope! Another way we help students save is by pricing our products just enough for customers to recognize the value but no more than it needs to be, making us the most affordable option for student pilot.

Remember, 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 the absolute best Online Ground School on the market, Part Time Pilot.
