I've heard a lot of bad things about ATP. They just want your money and if you don't move fast enough they will kick you out. I did my Private training at Eglin Aero Club at KVPS. They were great. There's another school just south at KDTS that I've had friends do their training there and they...

I do the same thing. I'll go through everything, if it all looks good I'll go ahead and call the briefer to get a second opinion and make sure I didn't miss anything

Hey guys! Tomorrow at 11 I have my first real interview ever (it's a phone screening interview, I'll call it real because I can). I applied for a pilot internship with a corporate company and I was selected to move forward into the first round of interviews. Now like I said, I have no real...

If he was, he doesn't deserve that V tail, and it looks like the universe took care of that

If I heard it from another student I wouldn't have believed it, but I heard it straight from the DPE which makes me wonder

Yes but that still is 20%. What if all of them performed perfectly? It just doesn't seem fair to fail people just because of some quota.

OH thank you!

I'm talking about a DPE. What do you mean though?

Let's start of by saying I have no idea if this is true or not. I heard from a DPE that there is an unwritten rule that they need to fail 2 out of every 10 students that are up for stage check. If the DPE passes too many students they'll be under investigation by the FAA. If this is a thing...

How safe is skiing in a plane? I've seen so many videos of it, but I'd be too terrified to try that in a million years

My biggest piece of advice is know that examiners are taught to be hard and stern and maybe even somewhat aggressive to you to see how you handle stressful situation. If they're hard on you just relax and know they're supposed to be like that. Goodluck! You got it!

Anyone looking to sell their handheld radio? I've been looking for a fairly cheap radio as a backup and just something to play with in my dorm room, but haven't had much luck since.. ya know aviation and cheap don't mix. If anyone has a used one they no longer use I'd love to take it off your...

Hey guys, I'm going through the Professional Flight program and Auburn University right now and part of the curriculum required that I take an aviation weather class. Right now we are starting to choose our topics for our term research papers. It can be on anything that related to aviation...

Awesome. Thank you so much. I’ll check that out. Do you have any more info on the workshops you put on?

As of right now just the weather channel

We depart at 8. I wouldn’t normally expect storms until the after noon but the forecasts is saying scattered storms which leads me to believe them to be all day. Normally the forecasts don’t really include random pop up t-storms

No he doesn’t fly often in small planes but he is an airline captain! So it shouldn’t be a problem, and if it is he will never hear the end of it... haha

I know ADS-B isn’t 100% accurate and is delayed. If it was by my self I wouldn’t go out if there were storms in my path and I understand what you’re saying, but my dad will be with my in the right seat and is a very seasoned pilot and that will make me much more comfortable flying around the storms

I felt the same way about 1/4 of the way through my training. I kind of wanted to quit but I didn’t want to because I wanted to impress my dad who’s an airline pilot and has spent so much money on the training. I kept going and I just finished and I’m so glad it did. Also, the first half of your...

That’s true. Didn’t even think about that
