Good to hear, honestly it's something I've always wanted to pursue, and it's a nice plan B if a career change is ever needed. Edit to add: If you achieve your commercial are you forced into a class 2 med, or can you just not fly for pay without it?

Just curious, did you go for commercial to actually use it, or just to obtain the cert?

I guess the biggest plus is I don't have a potential future check-ride to stress about! :D

My biggest concerns are the procedural things like radio comms, reading sectionals, and basic flight rules like altitude requirements, airspace and such. I'm sure I'll pick it right back up, but I probably should get me a new FAR/AIM and study a bit.

Had you finished your private in 06? If so how much had you lost in that timeframe?

Well what took me away was kind of a combination of things, but was mostly finances. I had a set budget to get my PPL, and once it was gone it was gone. Secondary to that was my first real XC after my PPL scared me so bad I didn't want to be back in a cheap rental airplane. Basically it was an...

So with basic med, any MD can sign off on it? If so I think I'm going to go ahead and do that.

My CFI was an old spray pilot who also flew in Vietnam. Needless to say he was a bit crazy, and we did numerous "non-standard" things, all of which were awesome, a bit wreckless, but at the end of the day probably prepared me better for real world situations.

Well there is someone I remember!

So I guess it's probably a good idea to go get my blood pressure checked before I walk in and maybe don't pass.

I thought it was add power to go up. O.o Is this a trick question/suggestion lol.

I heard about that, but are there any advantages over a class 3? I'm only 30, I believe my health is decent, so I should qualify for the 5 year 2 more times. Would love some input though if the basic med makes more sense.

Not sure if ANYONE remembers me, but you guys were a fantastic support base and resource back in 2012 back when I got my license. Anyways, haven't logged any time since 2012, and looking to get back on the horse and current. I have my medical scheduled on the 19th, and have hopefully lined out a...

Wellll I have heard it does lol.

okie doke, well I hope to make it out to those. also if alamogordo has a fly in it would be a good one too,

Just got home, so is Pete coming? and Murphey how about you?

I think it is somewhat annual.

Yea sorry about the short notice guys, i didnt find out until two days ago, and I havent been in front of a computer until this morning.

Hey guys a little short notice i know, but tomorrow Saturday the 21st, there will be a (hopefully) pretty fun fly in. There will be free burgers to all who fly in. There will be a flour bombing contest, a few cool planes to look at, and maybe some of the cool planes from Cannon AFB will come...

heck i bought a few tickets about a month ago and it has still said the same number remaining. Surely they have sold by now.
