    Solar eclipse - how's the forecast for Apr 8th looking for you?

    Well it was overcast here in San Antonio. A few areas got breaks in the clouds and could see a little, not where I was. All I got for the eclipse was light dark light

    TOP 10 THINGS THAT WORRY A PPL CANDIDATE

    My guess, and based on my experience, was the seemingly excessively high nose attitude to induce the stall. The other thing that scared me as a PPL Candidate was cross country navigation. Most of the places I have flown are hilly or on the coast so navigations fairly easy. Going inland with...

    First airplane purchase PA28 Help

    late to chime in here but I have also taken 4 up in the Cherokee 180 tapered wing, 3 adults 1 child, at or near max takeoff weight in cool conditions. Never again, I had no performance whatsoever and barely made it out on a long runway

    Checkrides cost how much? Really?

    250 in 2005 Connecticut for PPl I think 350-400 each for IR/CPL/ME add on NorCal in 2007-2008 but my memory fails. And 500 each for all three CFI-A tickets in NV

    Walmart drones are here.

    yes, I saw them in my local Walmart a couple months ago for $99. Walmart was even responsible enough to post a sign letting you know FAA registration was required

    First class medical with Schizoid

    I can empathize with you, having lost (well, having let expired and not seeking renewal) due to being diagnosed with the same. Grounding myself was the hardest thing I had to do, having gotten my instructor tickets the year before. Years later, took up motor gliders until the school sadly went...

    Finishing PPL and questions on the next level

    I wouldn’t go to ATP. I did my MEI and CFII with them, didn’t get single engine with them because of weather and had to go back to work, but when I went back to my flight school where I did my instrument rating and commercial I had to do a lot of remedial work to get my check ride sign off...

    well thats unfortunate but makes sense. Lot harder to control allergen exposure on a flight deck than puttering around in a little 4 seater

    Thanks! I guess I wasn’t looking at the right part of the guide, I had found respiratory allergies and hay fever. Appreciate it

    food allergy

    asking for a friend interested in either military or jetliner aviation, would a food allergy (potentially anaphylaxis) be disqualifying for a Class 1 medical? The medical application seems to be asking about respiratory allergies and hay fever. What I did find was that “allergies causing...

    SODA bipolar

    I am really hoping Mosaic passes. I had the opposite problem. Got all my ratings through CFI/CFII/MEI then diagnosed with depression a year later than bipolar a year after that, so naturally grounded myself and let my medical expire. Spoke with an AME at an outreach event who said in her...
