Mike: No, I haven't been given a copy of it. I obviously don't know why not. I'm asking for some insight so please feel free to tell me what I need to know. I assume from the questions that in your opinion I should have been given a copy of it and I can see where that would fit in...

OkieAviator: Yeah, the problems with the plane haven't really scared me as of yet because the CFI is a very skilled pilot of many years of experience, we fly in an area where you could make an emergency landing about anywhere, and I'm sure he would have no problems delivering us safely to...

Cameron: Maybe there is another CFI around, but I (and several others) haven't been able to find him/her. Found another one 1 hour away but he's not giving lessons cause he's flying for somebody. Can do sport 1.5 hours away but not ppl. Next closest I know for sure is two hours and I...

Bob: He is using a syllabus. I've never read it. It's a small book he pulls out at the end of the lesson and says, "ok, next time we'll be doing ____." And when he says what's next on the list, I read and research myself silly. So I always go to the lesson thinking I "know" how to do a...

I am struggling with a decision and I'm hoping by posting on here someone will say something that pushes me into actually making one. My first issue: Started with my first lesson 1st week of December with the only CFI within the reasonable driving distance (think two or more hours). As I...

Asking for a friend of mine who got me interested in flying a few months ago.... I'm now at 10 hours and he wants to get started but needs the scoop on where he stands. He is in remission for lymphoma. Last chemo and stem cell transplant was last April. Currently taking only an anti viral...

Thanks for the help everyone. Excited to get started today and I am hoping for the best. James: I simply refuse to believe that. It's been my experience that people always say exactly what they mean.

Alright, I get it: you are smart; you are a pilot; I'm not and may never be. You know more about the whole process than I do. That may read as if I'm being sarcastic but it isn't meant to be. That's why I came here for some information. Your last post was chocked full of good information...

Mike Farlow: Thank you for your suggestion to read the links you posted. However, I had already read them and my understanding did not change upon my re-reading them at your suggestion. I usually do understand what I read and this time doesn't appear to be any different. As you will...

I am relatively certain that I have a deficiency. Was told so when I joined the navy back in 1984 - first failed on the plates and then had further testing with some lights. Can't see the numbers in the green plates but do fine with the red ones. In practical life, I can see green. However...

Thanks for the input so far. Please keep it coming. Cooter143: thanks for the offer but I'm on the opposite side of the state near Poplar Bluff. ML
