That looks dangerously close to the chairs that shuttled people around in the ship on Wall-E. (yes I have a five year old and have seen that movie countless times).

Thanks all! It really was an awesome experience. I finally forced myself to relax a little on my third circuit and really take a good look out the window and enjoy the fact that I was flying an airplane by myself. Like all great things, it was over too quickly! Still can't believe someone...

Did my first solo today. After 3 ok landings and one pretty good one my CFI had me taxi to the ramp where she hopped out. Pretty nerve racking when she got out but once I got underway I felt pretty good. Of course I did take a left onto the taxi when I was supposed to cross it. The tower got me...

Cool. Thanks for the replies. Too bad they departed the area and didn't get to see my masterful float down 1/3 of the runway for my last landing of the day. I'm sure they could have learned a lot.

I had a lesson yesterday at a class D. We originally wanted to stay in the pattern and get some tower ops training but we were requested to leave the area because there was a flight check ongoing at the airport. On our taxi for departure we saw a bunch of guys working around a van and truck on...

Wow. Helpful to a new student pilot. Why read both pages when you obviously got the gist of the thread so early on? This forum is called Pilot Training right? And now this thread is 3 pages. :)

So I just got back from my flight out of the class D in their Archer. I really liked flying out of the class D. It felt more fun I guess with other airplanes actually around. All of my training so far has been at sleepy airports so it was actually kind of nice to see some activity at the...

I talked with my CFI last night and he still thinks it will be at least a month or more before he gets another plane to instruct in. (He owns a 172 in a partnership but they don't allow instruction in that plane :mad:). I think I am going to suck it up and make the drive to KGMU for lessons...

Of course I have been dreaming about buying an aircraft in a partnership and have even listed myself on the AOPA partnership page. Would love to get into a 182, archer, or 177. Dream plane is a DA-40 but that is out of reach for the near future. I have a friend in what seems to be a really...

Great idea Henning. I hadn't thought about getting the 430 sim but it would make sense to really learn it in our down time so I will be comfortable with it when I start my cross country's. My CFI does a ground school one night a week (for free!) so I will definitely go ahead and knock out the...

Unfortunately I fly out of a small town and small airport where the warrior was the only plane available for instruction. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks for the support. I know flight training is full of obstacles. If it was easy, everyone would do it, right? I have toyed around with the idea of going back and flying with my old CFI but I don't think I will. I had 9 hours with him and didn't land the plane unassisted one time (152). With...

So I am a long time lurker here and just making my first post. The title says it all. I have 12 hours and am on my second instructor who I really enjoy flying with. We are flying a very nice warrior ( nice p&i, 430, 396) and the last three lessons have been a lot of fun with a lot of...
