I want to get my pilots license but I have NO IDEA how?
Okay, so my goal is to either attend an Air Force Academy or join an ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) through a 4-year University. I am currently a Junior (11th grade) in High School and I want to get my pilot license in the summer of 2025. I know what the requirements are for an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) private pilot certificate: 1. 17 years of age 2. Fluency in English 3. Hold at least a third-class medical certificate from an Aviation Medical Examiner 4. 40 hours of total flight time (20 with an instructor/10 solo/specific types of training such as flight maneuvers, navigation, cross-country flights, and night flying) 5. Ground School completion through an FAA-approved school 6. Pass the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam (70% or higher to pass) 7. Pass the Checkride (An oral exam and flight test conducted by an FAA-designated pilot examiner) However, I do not know how or where to find a flight school, ground school, or flight instructor that is affordable for a 17-year-old teenager from a low-income family working several part-time jobs already.

What does it take to become a commercial pilot?
Becoming a pilot has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and it's a career that I am open to looking into. I've looked at the Moody Bible College Aviation Spokane, which to my understanding would teach me to be a missionary pilot. I would love to do this, but one day I may like to switch from being a missionary pilot to commercial airlines, and I don't want to have to take another four years of college to switch. What would be my best course of action there?
