    Flight Training - From Wife's Perspective

    Hey Katherine, I agree with some of what you said. I think women are rare in aviation or more specifically as pilots, the same reason minority men/women are. When you don't see someone who looks like you doing it, chances are you assume that it's simply not for you. I'm almost 30 and I joke with...

    Flight Training - From Wife's Perspective

    I will once my wife decides to get her license :) Also I don't think I've met anyone where the roles were switched. Pilot wife and non-pilot husband. I'm sure they exist but very rare.

    Flight Training - From Wife's Perspective

    I've discussed the monetary cost of getting my pilots license in detail. But there are some other cost that comes with flight training that's not money related. So I invited my wife to discuss this with me on video.

    How long did it take to get your PPL?

    Thank you all for sharing. Trying to compare different eras of training here. At first it seems older pilots or those who trained in the 90s or earlier had shorter hours but looks like we have other pilots who trained in recent years also finished in less than 60 hours. Interesting!

    Cirrus 10K to repack

    If the price is up, well consider inflation. And I seriously doubt any Cirrus owner would mind paying 10 or 15k to maintain a safety feature, which was one of the premise they bought the airplane in the first place.

    Talk me in or out of buying a Cherokee 235 (described below)

    I'm looking at a Cherokee myself, although my budget is about half the cost of the 235. The airplane you posted has too much time on the engine in my opinion. I saw a nicer 235 on Barnstormers for $49,500. Lower time on the engine, much nicer leather interior with glass panel. You might wanna...

    What's in your Pilot bag?

    In other words; what aviation gear do you typically carry with you. I'm curious to know what everyone else carry with them on a normal flight. As a VFR pilot, what I generally have is my headset, logbook, charts/notepad/calculator and a pencil, may be some camera gear. What's in your bag? VFR...

    How much airplane can you get for $1,000 monthly budget?

    I've been reading more on the Grumman since suggested. My initial concern about the Vso on the first series AA1s (57kts) seem to have been reduced in the later models. Great! But from what I've read, the AA1s till tend to have higher stall/spin rates, also something about the fuel system having...

    Pilots in the Atlanta Area - PDK vs. LZU

    I'm considering one of these as my home airport. PDK although closer seems a lot busier and more corporate-like with a few mom n pop businesses. Where as LZU is a bit further out, But the few times I've been there, it's been fairly quiet and I see some pilots/owners hanging around. What's been...

    How much airplane can you get for $1,000 monthly budget?

    Thanks for sharing. What is your interest rate on the loan? if you don't mind sharing. I recently had a quote @ 6.5% and I thought that was a high. Love the Group hangar idea. how did you come about that? did you know the other owners before hand? You're living the life @ 22 hours in a month...
