That used to be disqualifying but I understand there may be a pathway to issuance. Was it a pediatrician or a psychiatrist that diagnosed ADD? If it was your ped, you may likely be able to have it reversed.

@AggieMike88 i was initial asking FlyingRon because he referenced Ron Levy. Near me it seems difficult to get a rental place to allow outside instructors but maybe if you're buying a 20-hr block and it's PIC it's different.

Has a doctor actually said you have adhd? Like put it in an insurance code with blue cross or Aetna etc.? Ask your pediatrician for a copy of your diagnosis codes. I hope they wouldn't put that code in, especially since they didn't prescribe meds. I didn't catch if you are male or female but...

@flyingron he hasn't been around these parts in a while, right? I took a break from here and the AOPA boards and when I came back a lot of folks were gone. PIC = you need your own plane, generally. @lsu_wildcatter what do you plan to do with the rating? Heading to the airlines or personal...

@Alien Mind i don't see a link?

I know this is a necro post but I'm looking for guidance. I have progressive lenses. Got the Rx from a real Dr (ophthalmologist for glaucoma) 18 months ago but then bought the progressives through Eye Buy direct. Probably fine for single vision but a mistake on my part for progressive lenses...

@Jim_R @frfly172 and others - please give me more on knives. What are good knives (do they have to be that expensive) and how do you keep them sharp?

Ceiling around here seems to be 1,300 - 1,500. How do you guys determine the tops? Isn't an inversion good or yet issue is you might not be able to climb to the warmer air? Being VFR only makes it easier!

Obviously start your discussion with "I always look for a way to make a flight happen, but your and my safety come first. I've only canceled two flights in the past 15 years, and this weather system exceeds the capabilities of the plane."

I'm out of the running for now but watching with interest and rooting you on! Someome here told me, and they were likely right, you'll be more successful buying the plane on your own, getting a hangar etc and bringing in partners, as opposed to buying a plane together. I spent some months...

Not the OP but it doesn't make sense to me that you could fly to an airport 10 miles away, and then a little further etc to ultimately end up at 50NM. I always thought the first point of landing had to be 50nm, so . . . I learned that! I actually think when I trained (1992/1993) each landing...

@Sundancer do you need an upgraded subscription to get geo referenced taxi diagrams? Do they automatically pop up or do you pull them up? @francisco collazos awesome write up. Thank you for sharing. Can I ask - what did you tip the line guy for? Did he fuel the plane or tie it down or . . ...

@cowtowner you own a Cherokee and Columbia? Wow. Such a range of performance. Which Cherokee?

@Velocity173 and @kayoh190 Both awesome posts / stories. Thank you for sharing. Velocity - thank you for what you do. Literally changing outcomes.

I've got three kids now 15, 13 and 11. Took the now 15 year old up a few times before my GA sabbatical from really 2009-2022 (Thanksgiving 2021). Joined a flying club this year and reintroduced 15 year old to flying but then on 12/31 . . . Took my girls up for their first ever GA flight. Nice...

I will offer up on "why go 51 miles when you can gon151 miles?" Used to be money. When I first was flying. I saw the argument that the longer xc probably costs a little less than 3 shorter xc BUT - (1) I've always paid real time for training (actual cash in the 1990s when I was in hs/college...

@Jim K i have a black Tonka Twin. That was my A Team air support, special ops airborne plane, charter, bomber etc. Gear retracts and props spin. Enough room for one 80's plastic GI Joe or Star Wars action figure to fly while the other manages weapons and they both could jump out on target while...

@cowtowner were you flying a jet out of 3CK and which direction? @kaiser were you frolicking in the Bravo in 2020 or more recent? You were cleared through ORD Bravo VFR? Was it at night? That is wild. I hope you play the lottery too because those aren't the stories I hear!

@kaiser thats interesting. I learned to fly at Howell New Lenox airport, 1C2, about 10 miles east of JOT (I can look at a sectional and measure it but directionally correct). It's a subdivision now. They wouldn't rent their planes at night solo unless you had an IR and we're on an instrument...

@kaiser would you explain the club rule that played into the scrub earlier? Is the club for the DA42?
