Many aviation enthusiasts wish to obtain their private pilot's license and fly to live their passion.
The only problem is having a private pilot's license requires flying at least twice a month to keep it valid.
This obviously means spending a great deal of hard earned money with no benefits except an addition of hours towards your commercial license which you'll also have to pay extra for to get instruction and certification.
Some people are willing to waste this kind of money just to fulfill their passion. A simpler and better way to do this is to get their commercial license and their instructor's ratings.
Most people don't want to fly full time or even fly on airliners that are time consuming and require lots of work.
This is why aviation enthusiasts who prefer general aviation planes should opt to become instructors. Not only will they save money but can a earn a small amount from teaching even if it's not a whole lot.
Being a part time flight instructor also allows you to fly during the weekends or a few times a month and does not require full time flying.
I had an instructor one who worked with another job during the week days and flew on the weekends. As I remember, he did not want to be an airline pilot or transport people in any way. He just wanted to fly as an instructor.
Another alternate is to of course buy a flight simulator game set and controls but that means not really flying or feeling the forces of it.
This is my recommendation on those who want to fly general aviation planes for fun.
