2021 Renewal Status Update: Called the FAA Twice as my medical Expires end of August inquiring status. Representatives I've spoken to have escalated it as they do not know why there is a delay. Currently have basic med to bridge the gap in case my renewal is late or runs into issues.

From what it reads they still want prior to 60 days before expiration of the certificate a letter from my Neurologist sent to OKC. However being that the authorization is extended this means, according to you, that an AME can issue me a medical until 2023 or whenever the FAA re-extends it. Would...

Going well, Got my Private A year ago (Took me 4 months) right after i got my SI. Then I got my Complex/HP endorsement in a R182. Then got my AGI/IGI. Been doing a bunch of XC work so according to my logbook I have 51 hours PIC XC so when I start Instrument training I'll 100% do it under Part 61

Bump - Received my Reissuance today via EMAIL from the FAA (Probably because of COVID?). Looks like they are starting to trust me a bit. Still only valid 1 year until August 2021, but the AUTHORIZATION is valid until August 2023. I believe 2023, my 5 years is up for my medical exam from my AME...

I didn't call this time for FF - So I wouldn't have gotten a code anyway. Regardless - Seemed like the controller was cool and just a gentle reminder.. hey Class C is above you.

Funnily enough, I operate in the NY Class Bravo all the time, Skyline Route, Transitions over JFK, transitions over EWR, I know that airspace by heart and I'm so cautious. This airport admittedly I have not been exposed to enough and I should have reviewed the airspace a little closer. The one...

Yup - And I certainly will - Until I am about to go for my Commercial, where I will need a Class 2

Hello All, So had my first 'oops' as a Private Pilot. I was departing out of a Class D airport which had a Class C airspace right above it. I am climbing out and accidentally bust into the Class C shelf at 2,000. The Class D tower advised me. Hey, (callsign redacted) - just be advised - you're...

BUMP UPDATE- Received my renewal letter. Approved for another year. Same rules apply, they will need a letter again from my neurologist with an update to confirm I am still stable. Thanks FAA OKC!

Valid Point - Well nothing has changed and i'm still the same guy as I was a year ago so I'd be surprised if it went to that extreme

BUMP - Update Just submitted my annual letter from my Neurologist to the FAA to renew my SI. Let's see how it goes. Worst case I have basic med to back me up

Surprisingly wasn't too bad throughout my training. Some days were some serious butt clenchers though

Hey all, So as you most know I originally started on Pilots of America asking about a Special Issuance Medical around June 2018. Well to bring you up to speed. Got my Special Issuance Medical (Seizures as a Kid) in November 2018. Did my ground school online and Started training to be a Private...

It does, because both Props and Jets can produce wake.

Tomorrow Night I'm doing a Night VFR from MJX to OXB

Also circling back to this topic - I have my BasicMed now as well in case OKC has a delay in giving me my renewal for my SI in a few months :)

Simple, Wake Turbulence is the disturbance of air that a jet makes while passing through the air. It creates it typically off of the wingtip. They circle and go outward and down. If a smaller aircraft hits a much larger aircraft's wake. It can cause a loss of control typically causing the...

100% I agree with you. I didn't understand that starting out. Now that I am solo certified, now I get it. There is no need to rush to solo. Landing is always the hardest. Learning Judgement of your transition (Not flare because a 172 doesn't 'flare') understanding Pitch for Speed, Power for...

Dear Self, In my case - It was 25 Hours. I spent 10 hours getting my landings down pat. At this point all I have is my Night VFR Requirement, which I am doing tomorrow night, and Dual Cross Country and Solo Cross Country and then I will have checked every box (Provided all hour requirements are...

Yes keep flight coordination he said. I wasn’t those times when I looked at it and then a spin began. My CFI was able to predict the spin before it fully occurred so it was a quick recovery. Just had too much aileron input
