52 years young here. Started last August. I am prepping for my checkride right now. First few times out I was thinking "I will never get this radio stuff down". I am training out of KBHM. Class C towered airport. It gets busy at times with a lot of ATC chatter. I am fairly comfortable on the...

On my approach Saturday. ATC said you are #2 clear to land runway 18. I responded #1 in sight landing on runway 24. He replied "you are #2 for the intersection. Roger!

I could write almost the same post for me. My CFI told me yesterday, time to start our Checkride prep. He keeps telling me to work on soft and short field landings when I go out on my own. Hell I'm to busy working on landing period. I am no longer nervous or scared of landing but I still need a...

Do you have to be examined if you have Auto Pilot?

Good Job! No way I could have solo'ed at 8 hours!:eek:

Congrats! Can't wait to make that post!

Congratulations! Getting close to my checkride (hopefully). can't wait to have that feeling!

Hope you're right! Thanks!

OK! I think you are right COWMAN. Thank goodness! I re-read it and that seems correct!

Can't believe I didn't do the research on this before my purchase. Ad Valorem tax is 20% in Alabama:yikes:. Does everyone pay this? I didn't finance so I guess I could ignore it awhile. But me thinks that's a bad idea!

Ha Ha! I actually expected the first response to be. "Yes, yes you are".

Jesse Jackson has never had a job interview.

Thanks for the support! Sounds like I need to just keep pounding them out. My CFI is good. We have tried 20 degree flaps instead of full. A little more speed on glide etc. I have settled on a little faster glide and full flap landing. I seam to have more control this way. This plane tends to yaw...

OK brief history before my?? I started in August 2014. I have just under 50 hours. I have about 15 hours in the plane I am flying now which is a 182. Started and soloed in a 172. I have completed my Xcountry solo. And have solo'd three times since. Now for the embarrassing question. Takeoffs...

Congrats! Great job!

Congratulations!!

Passed my written test today. Not proud of the score. The key word is passed!:yes: As an added bonus. I also went out and Soloed MY 182R for the first time. I had previously soloed in a 172. Today was the first in the Skylane. I had to do two go arounds before I nailed the 3rd one. I was...

Congratulations!!

Congrats!! I am at 18 hrs and my Solo (weather permitting) is this Friday. I am pumped. Loved reading about your experience!
