Mason, thats what I thought too. A few weeks ago, at UGA's career fair, I walked up to Delta and before I could even introduce myself the lady says, "Hi, you want to be a flight attendant?" I said, "No mam, I'll be graduating with degrees in Economics, Finance, and Political Science in the...

Well, part of me wants to do something flying related, but its more of a recent urge so I think I'm going to stick with the business world for now. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I want to do. Part of my problem is my Political Science, Economics, and Finance degrees really allow me to do...

Maybe this isn't the place to post this (if so, let me know and I'll take it down). Anyways, any of you successful pilots looking to hire a soon-to-be college grad? I'm starting the job hunt and, as everyone knows, the market isn't too hot for recent college grads. I figured this is a forum...

It seems like the consensus is to focus on my check ride and nothing else. Since you all know best, I guess thats the attitude I'll have until I get my ticket.

I'm finishing up my PPL and I think it would be beneficial to put myself in some "risky" situations on my last few flights with my instructor. For instance, we may go up in some IMC so I can get some real understanding for spatial disorientation and flying in instrument conditions in case I...

I noticed that the Complete Advanced Pilot can be used to train for the Commercial and Instrument Ratings simultaneously. Is this something you would recommend doing? I don't foresee myself flying for an airline any time in the near future, so how useful would the commercial rating be? How...

So I'm about to finish up my PPL. I have about 35 hours, have passed my written exam, and am planning on taking the check ride at 40 hours. At some point in the future, I plan on getting my Instrument Rating--but probably not for at least a year. My CFI and I are probably going to go up in...

Sorry guys--its been a busy few days between work and school. I had an exam Wednesday, a few homework sets due, a group meeting, and an exam on Friday--all while working full time and studying for this test. :/ But the good news is that I did pass! I passed with an 87%. Nothing too great...

How'd you do? Never mind--Just saw where you passed! Congrats! You'll definitely be thankful that you knocked out the written stuff before it got too late. I haven't flown in three weeks because there was no sense until I took my exam! Good luck on your first solo! It's probably one of the...

...It was a joke.

I'm a college student... I'm a pro at cramming. But on a serious note, I've been studying for a while--but now I'm just trying to get idea of what the test is going to be like. I'm not too worried. Thanks for your help! Definitely makes me feel a bit more comfortable about it.

So I'm supposed to be taking my FAA exam tomorrow. Are the questions that I will see the same exact ones on Sporty's Study Buddy? Will the numbers be changed or will the wind directions and such be he exact same on the test as the are on study buddy? Basically, in theory, could I just...

Thanks for the advice denverpilot! Definitely some good info and it really made me think about everything that I learned from that flight. I've got my long xc on Tuesday (KAHN-KMAC-KHQU-KAHN) so hopefully I don't encounter the same issue lol.

2007 Toyota Avalon--Its essentially a grandma car lol

Yea, I was in a 172.

So the other day, while doing a series of touch and go's with the instructor a wind gust grabbed the plane and gave me a decent scare. It wasn't particularly windy, but there was a storm that was beginning to approach the field (30 - 45 minutes or so out). The gust forced a lot of left...

Perfect... Just wanted to make sure that I didn't have to put the medication into some sort of database somewhere. Thanks for the help!

After hearing all the talk about GA accident rates and their correlation to pilot error induced by OTC drugs, it got me thinking: I was just prescribed Minocycline, which by no means am I abusing. Do I have to report this to the FAA and update my third class medical? Thanks for the help!

Looks like fun! I was out in Jackson Hole in January 2014 and I'm dying to make it back--except this time I'll have my PPL and take some photos like these.

I believe this is Lake Hartwell. Athens is such a great airport to fly to/from!
