Hello this is my first post here and had a couple of questions. I am a new A&P mechanic that is looking to get a private pilot license. How would you suggest I go about getting training with the lowest cost possible? I mean I can afford a couple hours here, a couple hours there but I was wondering if there is a way to "trade" maintenance work for flight training? Is that even possible? How about loans or scholarships like Fannie Mae? I saw a link to "Young Flyers" and was wondering if its just for kids or students? Are those scholarships for people looking to make a career as a pilot? I just want mine for recreation (for now anyways). So basically what I'm trying to say, is there a fairly inexpensive way to go about getting my pilot license and utilizing my A&P certificate in doing so?
Thanks Alan
