Looking at getting an Mac air book M1 for the next 4 years of college classes, have read that using Microsoft flight simulator on Mac requires a subscription of a Xbox game card and the use of an Xbox controller. Has anyone used said setup? Is there a more realistic chair flying experience with...

Correct. I’m currently in ground online school now. Will complete it before heading to fly with him, not sure how much flying we will be able to accomplish due to weather. But his offer was very generous to want to teach me the basics.

When choosing to learn from an freind of mine, elderly independent CFI of many years, has his own 152, will fly to where he leaves, told me he would teach he the basics for ppl during my week stay. Upstate NY. At what point during flight lessons do most people start learning to use an IPad...

Local flight school near me. Emailed me, told me if transferring in part 141 they will accept 50% of required syllabus time, if transferring in part 61, they will accept up to 25% of their required syllabus. With check rides for competency.

Given part 61 schools will Only accept so many outside hours from their program. Would it be possible to have an independent CFI with their own plane train you to pass your entire PPL and then have the DPE meet you to get checked off? Or is a school required?

Thank you for the link!

Yes I had already read through that article. But did not find the info I seek. Thank you

I thought the reason for a medical flight test is to prove to the DPE and FAA that you can safely fly and land the plane, to be issued a SI or SODA, and given it would need to be completed before one solo”s, thought a CFI could be required as well due to needing one in the airplane since one has...

Does a Medical Flight Test, require a DPE and a CFI in the plane with the student to conduct said flight? Or could an DPE also be a CFI thus allowing for test to be conducted in a 150/152 for example.

Had my exam with an AME, my certification is deferred, he gave me this address as to where to send my medical records to; to have them received and reviewed by CAMI. Is there anyone I should address specifically on the package so they receive It directly? Such as a flight surgeon?

Thanks for the prompt response. Any idea the chances of getting hired with just CFI I these days compared to CFI II? Askin, as to if one could gain paid flight hours on their way to CFI II, MEI, ATP.

Currently, would it be realistic to say, from a zero to CFI 1 scenario. Would cost $30k and 6 months? At the minimum cost amount, of course depending upon needed hours,retraining due to weather, scheduling issues ect. Time- I realize everyone is different but if scheduling rentals and weather...

so would you recommend I just get the PHAK and FAR books? Completely skip the AFH?

Do any of those books ever really go out of date? Or it’s more of just rearranged information as most textbooks? I’ve been doin a lot of research and will be going with GoldSeal online ground training. https://groundschool.com/

The airplane flying handbook. Pilots handbook of Aeronautical knowledge. Prospective pilot here, about to start online ground school. Hopefully flight training soon after that while waiting to hear back regarding medical.I understand you can virtually download them for free. But are they worth...

clip4, thank you for the info. Given it’s limited to 25% of that school’s curriculum, would the additional already trained hours still count towards a pilots total time hours?

Afternoon, anyone have recommendations for a good quality part 61 school in or near central Florida, preferably around Groveland, Orlando maybe Kissimmee areas?

Has anyone here started off with online ground school, flew some hours part 61 then transitioned to part 141 for the majority of the rest of program, would it depend on the program if they would accept the already completed ground school and written exam? Is it true 141 schools will accept 25%...

Poor choice of words on my part. I will learn from the AME during my consult this week where exactly I stand, considering I have some questions.

Thank you all for the info, I’ve spent the past month or so getting my various medical records consulting some doctors, visiting others to have the proper forms filled out, to take with me to the AME for a consult, since I have some medical history; given I’ve researched the FAA medical...
