It took me a bit to get out of the plane today lol but i feel so much better. Now for the rest of the stuff which i think i can do fairly easy.

Can an ATP rated pilot,without a medical, fly as a recreational pilot without further testing? And be legal to do so. In other words does the ATP slide down like a first class medical?

Soloed today at KSFB,in a C-172M and yes i was nervous as hell:eek:.I really could'nt believe how different the aircraft flew without the extra weight in it. But 14.7 hrs with this instructer i did well. I wasn't real happy with my landings but i got down safely 3 times and could reuse the...

I just started my lessons again after a long 20+ year break. Did 1.1 yesterday with a total of 7.3. Was told i did real well considering how long it has been, so i am hoping all will go well through the rest of my training. Im doing the ground school portion ahead of the flight stuff through...

Ok now my question is how do i sign up? Has anybody seen where all the details are posted , such as how exactly its gonna work, pay, flight time, and such. All that i have read so far on this is all prospective pilots will do all the training on their own dime from PPL all the way to ATP. Im...

^^^^^^^^:rofl::rofl:

Ok started which time. I started when i was 15 then like an idiot i quit when it was cheap. I got the instructer for free and im thinking like 38.00/hr for the airplane wet. Well school and sports took over. Now im 46 and gonna start it again with a plan on either flying 121 or 135 or maybe...

:dunno: Hey i didn't draw the picture lol

One thing i noticed is that they don't pay you while in training for new hires. That would be a big "I think not " for me , if im going through their training program they should be paying you. Good luck to you none the less.

Jonesy have i told you lately YOU SUCK lmao. I love the stories and your day to day experience. I am or will be on my way to the airlines , so the latest posts about commuting is very interesting to me. As i live between KDAB 30 min , KSFB 20 min. and KMCO 1hr. travel time to each. I guess...

Here we go again on this magical parachute in aircraft. Why is so hard for pilots or so called pilots to just learn how to fly and stay current and proficient with their ratings? I'm sure you can buy a lot of proficency check rides for the price of a chute. Im quite sure most of if not all the...

Well yesterday was a new one , i got BUZZED by a B-25 bomber heading in for a low fast pass at Spruce Creek. i'm here to tell you at 150+ knots and 200 or so feet agl. and maybe 300 ft. away from me those radial engines were loud and scared the hell out of me , as he came in from behind me. i...

Wll im not only a Cards fan but im also a White Sox fan, so at least one of my teams is in the playoffs.

My question is how does the DPE know if the student actually did the planning on his own or did he have help from other people. If the student can't plan his or here own flight unassisted then how can they do it , when it comes time to do it on their own. With all the new tech out there planning...

Do we even need to get into the short cuts the pilot mills (141 schools) are getting for training nowadays. the shorter ppl hours, and training just to get them out in the field as it were with a cpl ,cfi, cfii mei. Then letting them teach other ppl. And don't even get me started with the...

Well i guess none of the pilots at Spruce Creek are on this forum ,as i was dodging planes of all types from a Waco to some home-builts to twins of various makes , a good chunk of the day saturday. i was told later that day that they do a breakfeast fly in every saturday. Just my luck... lmao...

Oh im not complaining believe me, im making more money now than i ever have. Like i said this is gonna afford me the chance to pay off some debt and get flying to go after my next career as a professional pilot , flying cargo or people it really doesn't matter to me as long as i get to fly...

I will say this , it sure beats being on a powerline job.
