What was the toughest part of your training to become a professional pilot, and how did you get through it?
I am a freshman in a college program to become a professional pilot, and my hope is to someday fly for a charter or fractional company like NetJets. Right now I am finishing my PPL, but I really got stuck on learning landings and didn't solo until 40 hours. It was hard to not be discouraged, but I know becoming a pilot takes a LOT of work, time, and effort. I'm willing to give it whatever I need to, but I'd like to know places where people tend to have trouble or get stuck, like I did with my landings. I didn't realize that it does take some people a long time to solo, and that was the main reason I got discouraged, since I thought it meant I was a terrible pilot. Of course, once, landings clicked, I was just fine. Where did you get hung up in earning certificates or additional ratings?

I don’t have any flight experience yet, but I’m really serious about learning.
