Im actually laying in bed right now with Covid. :) I decided a long time ago that, with three kids in 3 different schools, I was going to eventually get it no matter what precautions I took so I just stopped even worrying or thinking about it. I had a fever Sunday morning and felt generally...

Im right there with you. Im still working on my PPL but have all of my foggle time finished and planned on going right to the IFR after my checkride. Simulated IMC didn't really ever bother me and I didn't really see what the big deal was. A few lessons ago we were fogged in (but breaking up...

I guess just all of the things I don't know yet (haven't started XC lessons yet). My instructor is not allowing GPS for XC lessons.

Very nice and great job! I am just about to start the XC lessons and the thought of a solo XC makes me extremely nervous for some reason.

Congratulations! I will be doing mine as soon as I get my medical signed off. I hope my instructor surprises me too. I don't want to have to try to sleep the night before knowing it is coming up :)

Wow! Hard to believe it has almost been a year already but I thought I would update this thread just in case anyone else is wondering how this medical flight thing works (or for me at least). FAA guys visit my local flight school periodically through the year anyway so the school requested...

I did that same thing on that same maneuver a few weeks ago. I'm at about 20 hours now but I have been getting very few lessons lately due to weather (only about one lesson every couple weeks). I have really been focused on looking ahead in the lesson plan and trying to be as prepared as I can...

That is exactly how I look at it. My wife said 'you are spending $400 on a video game (including yoke & pedals)?'. Well.. If that saves me one single lesson over the course of my training then it has almost paid for itself.

I'm at about 10 hours now and found that X-plane has really helped my checklist efficiency and also my steering on the ground. After my first lesson (differential braking airplane) I realized that I needed serious help steering. A couple hours in Xplane just driving around the airport really...

Thank you all very much. That is exactly what I was looking for. Yea I think the 200 mile trip will be great practice and look forward to doing it. I will post an update here when I get it finished. Kind of funny but when shutting down the plane from my very first lesson a guy walks up to me...

I have been working on my PPL and things are going great. I'm at around 8 hours now and finally past the point where the thought of 'solo' makes me sick. I took my medical exam before starting flight lessons and, after a couple months of patiently waiting, just received the expected 'you do...

What kind of winds do the rest of you normally do your early stage training in? My second lesson was 02008G21KT and the first was very similar. Thinking back about the flight- it just seemed like I was all over the place. I know there will always be windy days and I'm not really worried about...

That's it! And that's my picture that I just sent over to them :) They are fast! I originally wrote my first post last week but talked myself out of posting it until yesterday. I didn't really expect much interest but figured I had already typed it up so why not. Quite a lot has happened this...

Wow thank you all for your replies! I was not really expecting much interest. I completely agree and that is exactly what he told me. He said he didn't want for me to waste a bunch of time and money only to find out that I didn't have the ability/mobility to perform in a certain critical...

Hello Everyone! I have been lurking here for over a year reading about all of your training journeys. It has all been an incredible help. I figured it was only right that I post my own story now that I have officially started one- so here it is. The short story: WhooHooo!! I've officially...
