    I’m starting my flight training but I’m scared of dying.

    I also have a fear of dying in relation to flying. Not the irrational “the plane is gonna fall out of the sky” fear. The fear I have is a fear that I will do something dumb and kill myself.............this fear keeps me alive. This is the fear that makes me really do a thorough preflight. This...

    Should I got to medical appt?

    Bruce and Lou, if the OP were to, with direction by his/her physician, come off of the Suboxone with good results and stay that way for say, 24 months, would you say his/her chances were good to get the medical assuming the cost not being prohibitive?

    Research for a graphic novel I'm writing.

    Not going to get in a debate and crap all over the thread, but all the op asked for was lingo, not accurate scenarios. Fiction is by definition things that don’t actually happen.

    Research for a graphic novel I'm writing.

    Should I got to medical appt?

    Aviation’s safety culture

    in 2017 there were 330 aviation related fatalities in 21 million hours flown, this is GA, not 135. In the same year there were 658 boating fatalities. I can’t find a good resource to extrapolate boating hours per year, but one figure I saw said 19 million people went boating that year. Draw your...

    Student purchasing plane - unsure of what signoffs/endorsements required

    I will answer your question(s) with what I would do if if I woke up in your shoes knowing what I know today. I would find a mid time engine, ugly but reliable C150 for 20k and get my PPL done. Then I would sell it for the same 20k and buy the plane I thought I wanted.

    Really?

    My daddy told me, “son, there are things that are made to buy, and things that are made to sell. You have to know the difference”.

    New and Don’t know what to do.

    My guess, and it’s only a guess, is he is talking to the FSDO’s in locations where the airplane has been previously owned looking for the A/W cert.
