Shooting for this weekend. Weather is looking decent, plane is in for maintenance, but I’d like to get some flying in, so I’m going to do a dual flight on Thursday after work in a different 152 I’m reasonably comfortable in. My normal plane is supposed to be out of maintenance at 5pm on Friday...

Canceled again. Lol, this is getting old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

AndyMac so close man, you got a better idea yet when you’re gonna try to get it scheduled? My instructor is going out of town Wednesday, so if my ride were to go down this Thursday, I will be going in without her being there. We are meeting up tomorrow for a ground session to go over my flight...

Well, Wednesday was canceled due to IFR/MVFR so we are rescheduling. Only problem is that this DPE is very busy (understandable with the weather we’ve been having) and more than a week out right now. Just kind of concerned that on the day of the reschedule the weather won’t cooperate again. Oh...

AndyMac, the week I was hoping to get everything done and checked off really turned out to be a bummer. Whether it was rain, IFR or just windy, it wasn’t very productive. Following that, I had 2 flights in around 15knot winds where my maneuvers (while technically in spec) were all over the...

That’s awesome. I don’t have any buddy’s that are into GA, so I’m kinda on my own for finding things to do. I hope to fly around my family when I feel comfortable and eventually meet some local guys. I’m really hoping to get signed off in the next couple weeks, but it has been so windy for the...

Nice, sounds like we’re close to being in the same boat. I got 44.6......approximately lol. I have all my requirements done, except I need .7 more hours of solo. Tried finishing that up today, but a direct crosswind made sure that wasn’t going to happen. I have off next week, and even though...

Prior to soloing I got the details from my school. I was possibly going to be on the hook for about a $15k deductible. I ended up going with Avemco, and upped it a bit for piece of mind and future renting. I got $20,000 for the aircraft, $50,000/each person, $500,000 property damage. Paid $325...

Nub Pilot, very cool. Not to get too far off topic, but what did you end up getting?

Well yeah, otherwise they’d be going through books like crazy!

Ok, glad I’m not the only one who though some of the questions were weird. I typed in the codes for the questions I got wrong and was at least able to see where I screwed up. Either way, what a relief! How many hours do you have, is your check ride in sight yet?

Congrats, I just got mine done a week and a half/2 weeks ago. The plastic overlay, and every person before me having seemingly written in the book definitely tossed me. I was actually surprised by the questions that I got, and am wondering if anyone knows if they just pull them out of the pool...

Somorris brings up a great point, I probably should have been clear that your training schedule should be based on your individual goals and that there isn’t necessarily a wrong way to go about it. For me, I wanted to try to get my initial training done as quickly as I could based on my...

Hey Sam, I can’t speak to all of your concerns, but I can tell you what my path has been. I’m 31/married, I have an almost 3 year old, and a few month old baby. I’ve always wanted to fly, but until the last couple years, it wasn’t going to be possible to pay my way through, start to finish in...
