Skimming through the great thread "so student pilot.. who are we...", really got jealous. The excitement they are experiencing, the thrill, the joy, of transitioning from average Joe/Jane to licensed pilots is a feeling I actually miss. Learning to fly is an amazing experience.. I wish I could...

In hindsight.. his insights into thier lack of flying skill is pretty amazing. Makes you wonder if he prevented more "flying" on that sad day. Great story.

NO it is NOT normal. You should have felt ike Tom Cruise "Maverick" and handled everything on your own perfectly.. and made a perfect landing while under the hood and you should be solo-ing by lesson three. : ) congrats, your a student pilot and welcome. enjoy the journey. good luck on your...

If you have 85K to burn.. and need your ratings fast, then yes you should go to ATP. If you want to learn how to fly planes, I recommend saving/using savings/pay as you go and going to your local (GOOD/cheap) flight school, but the catch is you need to find a GREAT flight instructor also...

yes, sounds horrible. and ironically you have to pay for it lol. but agreed, any survival training is GOOD training.

From what I read, you need only to take the AGI, so im assuming you have many passed checkrides already. So might as well do it. As for new CFI's, I dont think a CFI should TRY to get gold seal, I think it should just happen. Students are people, not things. "Trying" may affect safety. just...

good luck.. and if your CFI is willing to send you on your ride.. you def should be able to pass. also keep in mind, the checkride is an OPEN BOOK test (unless something changed recently).. called the PTS/ACS. You WILL be tested on everything in there. If you can perform ALL the required...

parachute @ MAKG1, landings also optional.

I was saying that #2 for me would be learning to land. Im already licensed. but will do lol.. probably get a bed too.

What's the best thing a CFI/check airmen/military instructor ever taught you?.. question for all. Veterans to the student pilot. From student to ATP level. IMO there is more bad CFI's than good ones. Not everyone is a born teacher, and not everyone wants to learn how to be a good teacher. But we...

kool products.. but you may get some hate replies.. like Maui AOA guy. Good luck. king air caravan 787

Great vid, beautiful location. No better feeling than bringing a plane back to the Earth.. safely lol.

No problem Shayne.. send me link.. ill donate $50 to start. Do I get a free t-shirt and picture updates on your progress during your training?.

If your just flying a small ordinary drone that you can buy at bestbuy.. you dont even need a license (with certain rules being followed).. just fyi. the UAS cert is for commercial ops ($$$) OR just an extra cert to have in your pocket. good luck.

how far are you into your studies?. there is a moment when everything clicks.. and your brain goes "ok.. this makes sense". that moment in IFR training (studying) is when the approach plates (truly understanding the plate) becomes as easy to read as a VFR sectional.. the enroute charts are...

welcome back. So many SP's give up.. be the exception.. get that ticket. The fact that you "returned" says a lot. you WILL get your license (im 94.567% sure lol)

agreed @ Iflyforfun. its cause some people really do just sit around ALL DAY waiting/hoping to send replies in forum's. pretty pathetic. Apparently this guy likes his AOA.. well, who cares. Im sure someone can block his acct (idk.. POA mgmnt I guess) if he is truly doing something...

I get where your coming from.. and yes I love the FAA lol. The FAA does a lot of great things for us pilots... in my opinion. but at the same time, im also surprised a commercial pilot isnt required to fly 500nm A-B.

the IRA written is one of the hardest writtens out there in my opinion. The commercial written was a joke compared to the instrument.. again in my own opinion. I would recommend you score consistently in the high 90s before you that the test. Many questions will be new questions also.. keep...

welcome. download (faa.gov) or buy (I did both).. AIM, flyin hndbk, book of aeronautical knowldg, instrument hnbk. buy test prep and start studying for written, watch youtube basic flight manuevers videos. Vids on slow flight, stalls, short/soft field takeoffs/landings. vids on flight...
