That could be Canadian dollars. What is that converted to USD? Oh, $37,690. Still not a great deal.

Yeah, I do tend to rattle on. Already have a CFI picked out. We are both hoping his plane gets out of annual this week.

Please don't think that I had a miserable time, I was just wondering about some aspects of the adventure that occurred in a manner other than what I was expecting. My original CFI sent me a text today and is hoping to have his plane ready for me this Saturday. I am looking forward to the trip...

Interesting thread somebody made me aware of: Ignition Key Warning..... | Pilots of America And it was also covered by General Aviation News: It could happen to anybody… — General Aviation News

Brian, thanks for chiming in. Most of all, I wanted to get input from CFI's on this. I don't want to be a difficult student, but I want to be sure that I am being instructed correctly. I will kinda' take exception to one of your statements. It's not a bit on me, it's all on me for not asking...

I do appreciate all of the time for feedback everyone has expended. I just wanted to reiterate one thing though - overall, I enjoyed the experience. I am relieved to know that my stomach is not opposed to flight maneuvers, and the stall wasn't as frightening to me as it apparently is to some...

Good heavens, I absolutely do not know more than a CFI. I do realize that I have a lot to learn. I wanted to be familiar with aviation, rules, and safety precautions before getting into the plane for the first time. Is that the wrong approach? Did I say I was ready for a check ride? I had...

You are correct, this was supposed to be a "once and done", but I could have been persuaded to consider using their school, if they had made an attempt to market their product. They had decent, well-maintained aircraft, more than one CFI available, and comfortable, clean facilities. The...

Thanks for all of the input! I really have read and taken it all to heart. One thing many picked up on, but a few may have missed was that I had no intention of utilizing this school for the remainder of my flight training. But, I am also open to input. If they had also done a good job...

NOTE – this is a long missive. If you’re easily bored, you may want to skip this thread. I wanted to share my experience with my Discovery Flight on 02/11/2022. This is the first experience I had ever had with General Aviation aircraft. I’d never even laid a hand on one before, much less be...

It should be ready to post in about ten minutes. I was far from confrontational about anything, trust me. I fell immediately into the "student mode" and allowed an unsafe condition to exist.

Fleshing one out as I type. It is rather lengthy though, and I hope it doesn't come off wrong. I just had expectations that didn't meet the experience, and I would really like to engage some of the CFI's on the board about this flight. I'm probably just "overthinking" the situation(s).

Well, I'm back. Finally got my Discovery Flight in yesterday (02/11/2022). Before we went up we had a chance to process my Student Pilot Certificate application. Can't wait to get my permanent card in the mail. I am still trying to sort everything out in my head about the flight. I am...

No sir. I was not seeing the first flight in the morning. The one where they were doing pattern work at Meacham. I could see it once I got home tonight, but not while I was out and about today and using my stupid phone. Thanks! BTW, the afternoon flight was my Discovery Flight.

For those of you more adept at getting the ADBS data for a certain registration number, could I ask a favor? I'd like to know the movement(s) of N6911H for February 11th (yesterday). All day, if possible. I'm only seeing a single flight, in the afternoon.

Hmmm, very excellent observation. He did assist with providing the information for one of the CACI's needed. And he also ordered the Holter monitor to help verify that an issue I had fixed nearly six years ago was no longer an active concern. I'll have to ask him when I do my annual physical...

Well, would having just been issued a third-class medical on 01/28/2022 be enough of an excuse? That thing is still new and shiny! And cost a pretty penny to boot. But in all seriousness, I plan to get my BasicMed stuff behind me at the 18 month point, just to be sure. Good to hear that the...

Not to veer too far off track, but I plan to convert to Basic Med within the next two years - before my Third-Class expires. I understand the CMEC, and have downloaded a copy of it. I showed it to my PCP, and he indicated that he wouldn't have an issue signing it when the time comes. Heck, he...

In my case? Absolutely! Central Texas area. (KSEP, KGDJ, 7F7, KCPT)

I took my test last December. My recipe for success was as follows: I ordered print copies of the FAA's Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and the Airplane Flying Handbook. As far as textbooks go, they are relatively inexpensive. I tried reading through them on my tablet, but just...
