I got my commercial certificate a few months ago and am flying full time now. It is great! I get to travel all over North America and typically have weekends that are three or four days long. It all depends on what you can network yourself into. I don't know exactly what is next, but I am...

I will be making a trip similar to your Austin-Bahamas leg this summer. I look forward to a story about the travels To/From the islands.

Great video! I'm taking my first international trip this summer so the video was timely for me. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Where were you renting before?

Thought I would post this here for those who might be interested. This will be a recurring event on the first Saturday of each month.

Here is a link that I have had in my bookmarks for some time. I think I found it while studying the same questions you are. http://stoenworks.com/Tutorials/HSI,%20the%20complete.html This is also a neat little sim that you can use to break into understanding how it works in comparison to...

poor PTC. I feel for the guy.

The best books I have found are available for FREE on the FAA website and they have everything you need to know.

Hang around folks that fly. Pick up rides when you can. I did it for quite some time when introduced to flying. I am local. I'm no CFI (yet), but enjoy chatting about flying and helping new folks learn the ropes. I would be glad to take you on some flights and help out. If you want to get...

Thanks Levy. I was unaware of the PIC/SOLO reg change in 1997. I thought maybe he was referring to not logging PIC while on solo flights as a pre-private student pilot.

If you're the only occupant in the airplane it is solo time. Any solo time should also be PIC time. Someone has to be the PIC and if you are the only occupant its you. If you are pilot in command it is PIC time. Solo time before the private pilot checkride is PIC time. Why was solo time...

Yes I have read the table. That is why my post reads "..when used to exercise the privileges of a private pilot certificate..". I'm not interested in why a medical certificate duration is less for those over the age 40. You're missing the point of my post entirely. I am commenting that...

I've always been perplexed by this. 61.23 says a first class medical certificate is good for 60 months when used to exercise the privileges of a private pilot certificate by someone who was under the age of 40 on the date of examination. I don't see anywhere about it becoming a different...

Can you show me where the regulations say a medical class downgrades over time?

Where are you located? Your path sounds somewhat similar to mine. I start a two week class the 1st of December in the Dallas area (home).

In my experiences, 7 times out of 10 the intersection they are trying to get you to has a name, but because of how you initially filed the computer spits out the FRD (Fix Radial Distance) or in this case just the fix and radial. I've had this happen when I simply file "direct" and the system...

Through clearance. You shouldn't have a problem getting it, especially if all you do is fly the approach and aren't stopping.

Had a good time. It was great to meet some new folks and see some familiar faces as well. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I'm in, but you guys probably already knew that.

Shoot me a PM. I would be more than happy to share my experiences.
