Gotcha. Is ground school necessary or can I just learn on my own and then prove to a CFI that I’m ready to the written?

Yep! Checking in. What’s up?
Just trying to join the club. Fly out of BTR?
Oh ok. I’ll get that done. I’ll also do some digging to see if I can find a decent 150 for a reasonable price. My only concern is how long it may take to sell once I’m done with it since it doesn’t really have the utility that I’d want in a keeper plane.
Ultimate goal is to build an RV-10 down the road

All true, and go ahead and get your medical certificate before you spend any money on flight time.
Appreciate the tips. I’m already working on getting the medical done. Don’t anticipate any issues

As a CFI I also strongly recommend, as was posted above, that you complete your book work before you start hopping in the plane too much. Bur first do one lesson somewhere to see if you really like the GA the experience.
I’ve done a lesson and have flown a dozen times with friends. I also have over 1000hours of flight sim “experience” and follow a dozen aviation channels on YouTube and have been following aviation pretty consistently for well over a decade. I also listen to LiveATC while I drive...I guess it’s fair to say I enjoy the GA experience. Just looking for the most optimal and cost effective route. Should I do an online ground school or can I just study and take the written before even contacting a CFI?

If he still instructs, Guy Fagget is who you want. You can probably contact him through East Baton Rouge Parish Mosquito and Rodent Control, or LA Aircraft.
Is this Fagget Guy legit or are you yanking my chain?

No. They cause rectal cancer.

Does Gonzales have a school?
I believe there are a couple but none have come recommended unfortunately.

If you could stomach a drive to Hammond I know Knight is very reputable.
Hammond might be doable. I've heard pretty good things about Flight by Knight.
I was dead set on doing my lessons in Houma but after the first lesson and 3.5hrs of driving I realized it wouldn't be sustainable.

I'm looking to work on my PPL in the BR area. I don't really like the idea of going to one of the big flight schools out of BTR because I'm worried they'll drain me of all my shekels. I've heard stories of students being intentionally "held back" so the flight school can rack up extra billable hours. Does anyone have a recommendation for an honest & independent CFI in the area that I could take private lessons with?
