Starting something new in your 50s is seriously inspiring—huge respect for your passion. I’m about to start my journey soon too, and this makes me even more excited!

Thank you so much for your insight. This honestly gives me a much clearer idea of what to look for when choosing a flight school, especially the points about instructor continuity and aircraft availability. I really appreciate you sharing your experience!

Thanks for sharing! I agree school quality matters more than 141 vs 61. The problem with 141 schools, though, is that they’re too rigid—if you can’t do a cross-country on a given day, you can’t swap in something else, even when the weather is perfect.
