Seeking an advice

Rami,

You mentioned how you’re supposed to start flight training in about a month, have you done an admission/introductory flight at a flight school? If you haven’t, that should be the first thing you do. Flying isn’t for everyone, it’s very much so different sitting in the back of a Dreamliner heading across the pond for vacation than right at the controls. Below is enrollment steps link from ATP’s website that I attached for reference.

If you haven’t enrolled into a flight school and still searching, schedule a few admission/introductory flights at a few schools near you. Get your own opinions on the environment, you will be spending a good amount of time in that environment over the next few months/year(s). At ATP, you can contact Admission and set up both an Admission Flight and Training Center tour, which will give you the opportunity to see what it is like as a day 1 student.

If attending ATP, you must have your 1st Class Medical before enrolling, you can acquire that through completing a medical application via MedXpress and then visiting an FAA 1st Class AME.

After you enroll, you should start studying for the written exam(s). Starting with the Private Airplane Pilot (PAR). If you could get your written exam completed before Day 1, your life adjusting to the new “lifestyle” will be easier and you’ll be able to focus more on learning and flying the airplane. If you have time, complete a few other written exams such as the IRA and CAX. For more on written exams and recommendations:
