Having first soloed in 1977 and then getting away from aviation for almost 40 years, I can testify that for a pilot over 50 it takes:

    LOTS of time, money, commitment and noise canceling headphones

Granted I am 40 years removed, but it sure seemed much harder to commit things to memory this time around. Joking aside, it might make sense for him to purchase a set or AERO NC headphones. They are fairly inexpensive ($300ish) and do help greatly.

An absence of any of the above will prevent you from reaching your goal. Less of one can be made up for by extra of another but you will need at least some of each.

1.)    I believe accelerated training will almost always result in less training time needed… because the longer between lessons, the more that is forgotten.

 

HOWEVER…. Everyone’s “natural” ability to learn is different.   Not everyone will be able to get their PPL for the prices quoted on the website.  See their disclaimer:

 

Prices are based on the minimum hour requirements to complete the training. It is not guaranteed you will complete your training in the minimum hours. Should you exceed any flight/ground hours, you will be responsible for the additional costs.”

 

 

2.)      I think the thought of humans flying airplanes is preposterous, and anyone who attempts it obviously has a screw loose.

Subject: [Mid-Island-Pilots-Club-Email] Friend's Flight Training from Bruce D

 

Hello,

Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming holiday party!

I have a close friend who wants to get his private pilot cert. He's 58 yrs old and has almost no (0) flight experience.  Later this week he's planning a trip to Clearwater, FL for apx. 5 weeks and plans to train with a flight school he found on the Internet, http://niedra.com/ He asked me to look at their website and give feedback. If you have time, I would like your comments regarding both:

1) the flight school, http://niedra.com/ and

2) the preposterous idea of becoming a pilot

Bruce D
