    Cost to get CFI

    On my way to work, I was listening to the Ken Coleman show, and the person calling in said they were a student pilot and they wanted to get their CFI rating, but it would cost them $90,000, is this right. $90,000, seems extremely high for a CFI. Maybe ATP, but not CFI They said they were from...

    I signed up for an intro/discovery flight yesterday, my flight is 3pm today. I decided to just go by myself, to enjoy the experience and get the most out of it. I was going to bring a camera to take some pics when I'm not flying the plane.

    I definitely plan on cash flowing this hobby. I probably won't do anything until I have my house paid off, which will be in about a year. The place I'm going to for my discovery flight, call themselves a flying club; but they sound more like a flight school. I was thinking about going thru...

    Is EAA worth it, if I'm not interested in experimental.

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I might just stop by the bbq lunch there having at my local chapter and check it out. I do find the non electric planes interesting.

    Is EAA worth it, if I'm not interested in experimental.

    I'm located in So-Cal, the Chapter that is having the poker run is located a Flabob airport. The reason I don't think experimental is for me is the weight restrictions. To me it looks like experimental are mostly LSA, which makes it difficult for me based on my weight 250 lbs.

    Fellow POA'rs, I just recently decided to get into aviation. I will be taking a discovery flight tomorrow after work. When I was looking for discovery flights, I saw that the local EAA chapter near me does Eagle flights, unfortunately they told me not now because of covid. The lady I talked to...

    Looking for some guidance.

    Just signed up for a discovery flight, will go tomorrow after work. They said i could bring another person, if they met the weight & balance requirements, but should I. My wife doesn't care for it, plus she will be at work. I could bring a coworker, but I don't want them thinking that I am...

    Question regarding Discovery Flight. Is it okay to take more than one. If I can, what do I do with the log books, that I will supposedly receive. Does it matter the size of plane that I do my discovery flight in. I'm 6'4" approximately 250 lbs.

    I remember seeing a post on the medical portion of this site mentioning to tear off the confirmation number the FAA AME website gives you and put it in your pocket. Then when doing the consultation with the AME, give him the confirmation number only after he says everything looks good. I was...

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I will look into discovery flights. Is there a certain length I should go for, or is 30 minutes plenty of time.

    Hello POA'rs, I am having an issue with deciding on getting a ppl. I have not taken a discovery flight. My spouse offered to get me one for my 52nd birthday; but I told her to wait until I could do some research. I would prefer to not be contracted into a flight school. I do work full time. From...
