Thats true, its the same with driving or even more the case while flying Thanks for that!

Do you by any chance know their prices to do a license in about 5 weeks? (or 4 if possible?) In Florida, the offer is 8k in euros for 4-5weeks including living. Thanks so much!

Also did that include living ?

Was that in Cali?

Nice! Funny you are american and know more than me :D Not sure how I could make sure the school is not a scam.. any ideas? Also i´m concerned about the costs. He said 8k, but what if its really like 10k? cant just stop doing the license then... Good thing that you can´t completely lose it anymore.

Thanks for your help! Well, i know a german guy, who works together with a flight school in Florida, and i´ve read a pretty decent review from a german student mentioning the german guy who works with the school, so i hope i can trust them. I will definitely not put a lot of money in there as...

Have you had bad experiences so far? So, the idea is to occasionally fly in the states during holdiays and visits (max 1-2 times a year) and then fly the absolute minimum in Germany to not lose the license. (Maybe I´ll fly more once i earn my own money and well, more, obviously :D) Also i...

Okay guys, so far it all looks like I won´t be able to do the license with my friend as a CFI. Also, I think I won´t be able to do the license in California in general--> too expensive. The other day I met some german guy working together with a flight school in Florida. The link is...

Thanks for that!

Also do you guys know how long it takes to apply for TSA and the medical thing? Do i need the visa first? I´m assuming the medical checkup needs to be done by an airplane doc, correct? - So it would have to be in states? Thanks guys!

Thanks Hippike! I´ll do the TSA first

Omfg you made me laugh so hard hahahahhaha

1. get a medical 2. get a student pilot certificate 3. get enough training to convince my instructor that I´m safe to fly solo 4. pass a pre-solo written exam administered by my flight school 5. Do the official written test (somewhere in between 5. and 6.) 6. Fly solo for 10 hours, get the rest...

And when do i need to have the medical test done and when the student pilot license?

So does this mean i have to do all of these 3 tests before i ever acutally get to fly? And after those 3 start i could then start working on whatever hours I need for the practical part, being around 60-70 hours?

Can someone explain to me how you do the license in general? Like the steps? For instance, if you do a driver license in germany you directly start with driving and simultaneously learn the theoretic part. Would this work with flying too? So basically, I arrive at my friends place, I meet my...

Thats true, the thing is if i would estimate the costs being like 8k total and i then end up with 10k its not a big deal, but if the estimated costs are like 10k and i end up with 12 I´m done :D

sounds good!

Thanks to you all guys! TSA - 130 $ minimum of 30 hours with CFI = 30*70$(worst scenario =CFI-price~2500$) + 30-40h*6gallon*6$ (gas=1080-1440) =3580-3940$ (depending on the price per hour for the instructor) 30 hours of solo flight =1080$ (assuming there won't be landing fees and I'd only pay...

Or is there a fee to do the written theoretical part? Cause it's quite a step from 4,7k to almost 10k ☺️ Or is that because I would never have to rent a plane on my own?
