Congratulations and welcome to PoA! :)

There seems to be a common thread: be motivated, be committed, do your homework(and then some), ask lots of questions, don't repeat the same mistakes. It's good to hear from people who have been flying and teaching for years already. @Timbeck2, I'm glad you shared your experience--these things...

Personally, I'm not the one who can fly with a CFI who says "do it this way because I said so." and doesn't explain why. At first, fine, but eventually I have to know why I am doing procedures a certain way. My brain needs to know why L/D max is important, why vfr mins are 500' below and 1000'...

So then he gave you a refund, right?

The "Special Student" topic inspired me to ask you current and former instructors about your favorite students. Did you have students that are enjoyable to teach? What about their approach to flight lessons makes your job easy? Conversely, what makes a student more challenging to instruct, i.e...

I know the feeling! Hang in there. Girl pilots always find each other. [emoji4] I would suggest you do a Google search and ask around for Women in Aviation or 99s chapter in your area. There's bound to be one within driving distance. Always a good place to meet other women pilots and mentors...

What's at the North Pole?

Okay, this is gonna be lame because I can't think of a good lie. 1) I have not seen my best friend face-to-face. 2) I am related to the 7th tallest man in U.S. history. 3) I did two barrel rolls with my instructor in a Super Decathlon (and I'm only a student pilot. )

Hey @AmyMarie, why not start a study group at your school? We did it at our school. I'm also a female student getting ready for my first solo. I'm going to a small Part 61 flight school in WA and it's challenging to find study partners. A few of the female pilots got together and started to meet...

Whether or not you're willing to call for info depends on your level of desperation. However, I chose my flight school because they had airplane rental rates per hour online and the other school(s) didn't. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk
