When I first started this blog, I couldn’t find, many guides or experiences of how the modular flight training route looks. For this reason I decided to document it the best I can for people coming through after me. I believe this is the most complete guide to modular flight training around and will give you a start-to-end guide to the process.
If you want to know more about the process you can read The Essential Modular Flight Training Guide or go through this website where it is all documented.
- Get a class 1 medical. This should be the first step before you spend any money on flying. The reason for this is that if you are not able to get a class 1 medical you will not be able to fly commercially.
- Start modular training. From start to end I believe the process took me about 2.5 -3 years. The reason for this is that I held a full-time job through most of it. I would say that 12-18 months is a reasonable expectation if you are working on it full-time.
