    Getting my list of upfront tech costs

    So when you plug directly into the GoPro, does it shut off the internal mic of the gopro? I was looking at the kit that came with the NFlightcam filter and the audio adapter. iPad mini or full air.. ... oh yeah, and I need a CFI. That's been my primary focus now.

    Getting my list of upfront tech costs

    I am working my front end costs out a little bit and deciding what is what and what should I get. It will be much easier now versus later while flight training to get these things. Obviously for flight training the headset is required, the rest are just extras, extra expense and potentially...

    Considering PPL

    That's kind of what I was thinking (..about the $50 too). I can't beg and I appreciated his offer in general, after all, he is my boss and I will end up paying one way or another probably. Ha. It's not the newest of planes but it looks good and maintained well. What is considered long in...

    Considering PPL

    Indeed! I broke down and hit my boss up this afternoon since he owns a PA-28-181 ('79). I straight up told him I was going for it since my wife said "Go now, or you will regret later". I don't know of any better endorsement that would come from her on the subject. That's all I need. So I...

    I already own the hard copies of all of the typical FAA books. :) I do a lot of work on screen but you just can't beat hard copy text books. Mitch - How was your check ride?

    Gaston's is a great place to watch, fish and eat fish. My folks live a stones throw to the east on Lake Norfork. I make it to Gastons every year or so. Heading over to that thread. Edit - Great weekend for Gastons. It's on the calendar.

    Considering PPL

    If any doctor can find something wrong with me - I want to know! There shouldn't be any hangups that I am aware of, so if you find something doc, tell me stat.

    PS - Nate, thanks for the input. Noted. You are spot on with exactly what I have heard about simmers jumping in - staring at the instruments and missing the building block fundamentals. Sure it might help at some level but I hear outside of general procedure awareness, simming a bunch before...

    Good idea on the medical - get that kicked out early enough. Yeah, the simulator is a lot of fun a good practice on procedures from simple to complex. Fortunately the guys I fly with keep it legit since they have a stack of IFR hours so they pack in a lot of what to do / not do. One of my buds...

    Considering PPL

    Thanks for the information guys. I like the general idea of ground school at my own pace but with some correlation to my flight training. No reason to put it off and no particular reason to knock it out completely prior to flight training. On the plus side, I have already read and sitting...

    Considering PPL

    That's a fine question - Springfield, Missouri. I can't believe your couldn't guess out of the 13 Springfield city areas. I guess the bigger question on the ground school is what is the correlation to flight training? Is it typical to have them both run parallel or ground school ahead or...

    Considering PPL

    Hey all- First post here on Pilots of America. I have spent the past couple of hours..the past couple of nights... reading up on some of your journeys and adventures of getting your PPL and/or IFR ticket. Some of your check rides give me sweaty palms by virtue of your stress! So here I am at...
