It’s not as hard to get into as you’d expect. Right now** is a great time to get into it. There are a lot of instructors right now trying to build hours waiting for the airlines to hire again. You can find higher quality instructors for cheaper than normal
My instructor works for free. He’s just glad to be getting free flight hours. I wouldn’t recommend doing a formal flight school unless you have money to burn. If you’re good at self-study, get Sporty’s or another online course. Few hundred dollars for the ground school. Then rent a plane to do your hours in
**Huge asterisk here due to gas prices being elevated. It’s not too hard to find cheap 100LL/UL, but that window is closing. As long as the war in Iran is ongoing, higher fuel prices will be a concern. That being said, my Cherokee gets 16-20 MPG equivalent
