"Application Error" on Gold Seal. I can't register, I can't login. I've tried two different computers, two different browsers and the site bombs out. Not exactly how I wanted to start out but at least it matches the weather on my scheduled training days :) Benjamin

...As a side note, I have access to a set of old King School DVDs (missing the 1st disc apparently. Err, I wonder what is on Disc 1. With that being said, perhaps I will go Gold Seal as a base and run through the King School DVDs to covers some bases. Benjamin

"There are entire sections that go unexplained." Ha - that's not good.. I don't know - I will think about this today and pick one tonight.

For sure on the A2A planes - I am starting my training in a PA-28-180 (Archer II). The A2A 180 Cherokee is about as close as I am going to get for similarity. I have been flying that plan exclusively the past couple of months. Benjamin

Nothing spectacular is needed to make the PFC controls to work right. They are your standard USB connection. They are just solid cast parts with awesome internal mechanisms. There are no sticking points of the yoke movement. I am currently flying with Lockheed Martin P3D. I am currently...

If you are in for spending the bucks, I highly recommend PFC gear. https://www.flypfc.com/?/products/desktop-yokes I have had gone through one CH and two saitek yokes over the years and nothing comes close to the precision and feel of these yokes, quadrants and pedals. I figured I am in it...

Scheduling wise I prefer the self study style. Learning wise I prefer the classroom but this is somewhat my point. Folks go from free online skim the surface all the way to dedicated classroom time. I can't say the the results are the same but it appears to be a passing score regardless of...

I am definitely in it for the learning versus memorization.

Evening all- While I wait for the planets to align between weather, kids soccer games and CFI schedule, I am going to kick off my ground school. It has been one thing after another getting the ice broken for flight #1. I am optimistic that the schedules will iron out and we will get off...

The OC is nice! One of my simming buds has one on the way as well. They are really being shipped?? That's the Garmin 750 GTN from flight1. Awesome device and can be put in any plane. I have always been a fan oh RXP stuff (530/430) so this is just the latest and greatest. $70 bucks but you...

That's pretty much how I see this all going down. Some weeks, one flight, other weeks 3. I hear you on P3D. I just dialed mine in. Waiting for v2.3 ASN update. Just posted this video for a friend of mine. He wanted to see how P3D would handle in the Cherokee at Orbx KSEA area. As expected...

Good stuff guys - thanks. Yeah, making it a priority is the key. I know I can make it work and I already marched in and politely asked the boss to use his plane. I will go back in an tell him I am going to use his plan to make me late a few times a week. Bolted out early today and settled...

I've got a day job (architect), 2 kids in elementary school and it seems an evening event all the time. I am getting my flight training underway and wonder - when did you guys get most of your flight training completed? Obviously a change in my schedule is going to occur, I am just trying to...

Good information guys. Thanks for the read. Bob, your book "Say Again, Please" is great. It's really helped make sense of airspace and communications scenarios. Benjamin

Yeah - that's what I hear time and time again from all of the online threads and videos I watch. I have taken it to heart and sent a handful of them a list of questions that will help find the right one. I am going to another FBO this week (larger airport) to get another group of names...
