Hi, I am from and live/work in a developed Asian country.
been interested in learning to fly and now finding ways to get a PPL.
flying school are close to nonexistemt in Asia, so am looking at US. but would like to spend as little time in the US and money as possible, so as much self study as possible.
I spent some time researching the process but there are still many things I need to be enlightened on. please educate me.
is my below understanding correct? please comment and advise
1. I get the relevant medical check done as required by FAA
2. I buy the materials and begin self study, no ground school (waste of time and money since I am good at studying)
3. once ready, join a flying club and write the paper exam
4. if passed, start flight training with the flying club I joined (when I visit the US)
5. since I will take a holiday and come just for the flight training, I want to fly as much as possible when here. say 4 hours a day (4-5 days in a row)? is that possible?
6. so depending on my progress, I can complete my flight training on my 3rd visit.
7. do the final flight exam and become one of you
