<p>I actually took some flight lessons this summer, before my junior year in high school, to see what it was like. Here is the biggest lesson I learned: make sure you have enough time and money to fly once a week, minmum. I tried flying once every two weeks in order to stretch my money and maintain interest longer, but it didn’t work. I got far better results from once a week lessons because I remembered much more frm the previous lesson and could build off of them, but didn’t have enough money to keep going unfortunately. So for anyone out there who wants to get their PPL, follow the advice of the above posters and make sure you have at least six to eight thousand socked away.</p>
