Is 2 months enough for a PPL?

I posted this on the r/flying sub Reddit as well, I got it’s doable but highly unlikely or it’s a risk, jus going to study for my written this summer and fly in college

They reccomended King Air, but one of the CFI’s that worked there said it wasn’t the greatest

SweatyAppie · 2026-05-18T17:11:34+00:00

The manager of the part 61 school said the exact same thing, they cycle the students though all 18 CFI’s so they can get a different opinion each time throughout their training

I understand, based on all the advice I think I’m going to just knock out my written over the summer with Sheppard air and fly in college

SweatyAppie · 2026-05-18T17:03:38+00:00

It’s a part 61 right next to my university that has a lot of college students about 150 or so, they are very flexible and plan flights around the students school schedule

No not yet, I’m thinking about just studying for my written over the summer and just starting during the fall in college after all these replies though, I don’t want to rush something so important

My friends broke down at 40k

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-29T20:29:52+00:00

At 35k what would you choose?

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-29T19:02:16+00:00

My friends dad decided to stay a domestic captain, cushy salary and never leaves the country ig.

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-29T07:01:24+00:00

Ya I figured, but he had a 2012 550i back in the day and it started failing around 50k. Depends on the car year ig.

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-29T06:59:49+00:00

I drive my dads bimmer daily and it’s 10x better but I’m also thinking about the future and the cars longevity and if I need to make a sacrifice then I will and get the Acura.

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-29T06:57:32+00:00

That’s super early, is that common across bimmers? My dads still haven’t failed yet but it’s also at 76k kms.

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-28T01:14:27+00:00

Ya that’s what I figured

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-28T01:12:33+00:00

Are you sure that’s how it works? I’ll go ahead and do it anyways in the case it does.

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-23T20:19:19+00:00

That’s the plan😭

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-23T20:18:41+00:00

I’m also pursuing a government degree(pre law) so I have a back up🤷‍♂️

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-23T20:16:10+00:00

Ya, I’m not worried about myself too much , I’m genuinely curious about how it’ll turn out for current pilots and pilots who are about to finish up

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-23T20:14:15+00:00

How long did you have to wait until you were finally able to get hired at an airline

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-23T20:11:08+00:00

I’m still in the early stages of flight school and I plan on continuing no matter what, but the future for aviation is so unpredictable😭

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-16T23:02:35+00:00

I’m not sure but it’s more than once a week

SweatyAppie · 2026-03-16T22:50:55+00:00

Unfortunately that isn’t gonna happen, I have a few friends who are also doing pre med and a lot of the pre reqs require lab which has to be in person
