My mistake you are correct "Demonstrated" to me seems like semantics but I was incorrect.

I was told by one school that the transition would be more like 5 hours, but I may have little choice. But I feel obligated for safety, morality and yes a little vengeance to do something, at least maybe I can prevent another potential student from enduring this. More importantly prevent someone...

Yes that is easy to say but having already soloed with over 4k invested going to another school is going to cost me a lot. I currently fly P-28, every other school around here use C-152 and C-172, so I would have to go backwards quite a bit. As I said in original post there are many other...

Is there a way to report dangerous improper CFI behavior. Mine frequently plays on his cell phone during Dual instruction. I also feel that him taking personal phone calls while I am sitting out buy the plane waiting, as much as twenty minutes or so and charging the time to my lesson is at best...

I did a few go-arounds with CFI on my initiative. I felt I was too high a few times asked him about a go around and he said its up to you. Perhaps I could have salvaged them but I was just not going to try to. Funny I would call the go around and he felt the need to call it a second time, and...

Before you get anyone going yes I know ASEL (airplane single engine land) is not the proper name for the exam, but that's the title on the in house exam they have. The exact title is "Pre-Solo/Renter Written Exam ASEL"

Thanks Sinistar, not much to tell really. I had done the ASEL (pre solo exam) my previous lesson and had the endorsement in my logbook. When I arrived yesterday we sat in the office and he said todays the day and ask me how I felt. I was honest and said I was ready but also had a few...

Strangely I feel very disappointed in joining this forum. When I joined I felt it would be a great way to learn and share experience with fellow students. That I might receive valuable constructive advice in pursuit of my ticket. Some posters have provided that very much so and I would like to...

Did I miss something, I was all set to do the hood. The instructor is the one that said we can do it after. And yes I train out of a controlled airport and talk to ATC when I train. Not whining at all, it’s all good. Next lesson is tomorrow and if all goes well it three laps around the track.

I did specify that in my very first post. Not like to argue just clarifying.

Actually not wrong, while part 61 does require 3hrs under the hood. Pre-solo requirements for student pilots as listed in 61.87 do not. Its mute anyway, for some reason my CFI has reversed himself. Either way I know I have three hours of simulated instruments under the hood and look forward to it.

I am so sorry Jallen, I totally missed the point and reason I started this post. I mistakenly thought it was to seek advice about progressing through flight lessons. I should have realized that the important thing was to impress you, guess I failed. Does this post actually serve a purpose...

Ok enough, thanks for the diagnosis Doctor. Are you a real Psychiatric Doctor or just play one on TV and forums? Is thinking you are more educated, informed and intelligent than you actually are a negative trait the ADM? Maybe you and Lucy Vanpelt can open a joint practice together? I hear there...

I I am sure that you have learned a great deal, and I hope to as well. If you read back to the original post you might realize that the comments I made were in response to some fairly derogatory judgmental remarks that were made by that individual. Said comments were made based on no actual...

Since I last posted: I have stayed with same CFI so far. I created the IACRA account and had him sign it, so now I have a temp paper SL. I have had one additional lesson, (because he cancelled one, something came up on his part). During this lesson I did 9 Touch and goes, all the while he was...

If you were referring to me, to answer your question no this was not me, How presumptuous and ignorant of you to assume that. Also looking at that one picture how can you definetly blame it on a nose wheel or hard landing (which I have never done BTW) it could have just been the bearings time...

Now that is exactly my issue and very sound advice, thanks.

When I go for my next lesson I am going to talk to the school owner and tell him, I want another instructor. I also want much clearer defined objectives, not just when I solo but for other milestones (xc, xc solo, night flying etc). I guess my biggest complaint is that there is no structure or...

Thank so much for your insight Aristotle.I do not believe I ever claimed to be all knowing. But I do know BS when I see it. I did not initiate the insults, nor did I ever state that I am ready for anything more than my first solo. I never expected to listen to a bunch of crap from members on...
