thanks for the info. Is your next step COMM?

Flying (the initial learning stage more so) isn't easy.. if it was everyone would have a pilots license. There is a reason only 1% of US population are rated pilots. Keep chugging and don't give up. The perfect landings will come, just keep getting those lessons in. The way your CFI is teaching...

congrats, great accomplishment. I am about to start my IR training. What is the best advice you have for someone going into the training?.. Do you recommend any programs, vids, PC sims, websites... etc. I already took the instrument rating written, so im good on that. I will also be doing the...

Hmmm.. what about trying a different FSDO?? something in the FARs should also give you a concrete answer.

Then @ collin adding your ASES should be a non-issue

This happens @ luvflyin just by getting your commercial multi before you do the single comm. I think you save $$$ with the complex training that way.

I also want to get the ASES rating.. school by me does for about 1500$ I think over like a 3 day period. Planes on water???? YES please

The FSDO giving wrong info??? NO WAY. The FAA is great... I love it. But... people make up the FAA.. so mistakes are guaranteed. I don't see a reason why you can't get a ASES with PP privs. If your ratings were lets say.. PP MEL and PP SEL.. and you went comm MEL.. yu obviously would get a note...

That first solo is unlike anything else.. your rolling down the runway and you know once you pull that stick back its all you. So many student pilots never even get to this point that its sad. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken lessons and never solo'd. CONGRATS. You may think it doesnt...

Hermine caused some strong winds in my area recently. Do you guys purposely seek out the those moderate/strong x-wind days? or do you completely avoid them?

The test preps are great but sometimes when the actual test come your amazed by all the new or unused questions. I recently took the CAX (96%) and thought it was very fair. Stuff that you should know if your taking a "commercial" pilot exam. Lots of chart questions, but I found it way easier...

congrats.. but yes going the faasafety course route as a cert holder it is not a full self service. in fact you have to schedule an appt with an inspector (just like you would for an AGI/IGI) and/or a CFI to have your info verified (from how I read the rules anyway). So unless you do this your...

Exactly, I work on airplanes for a living and have personally seen the damage a 1-2LB bird can do (atleast 20 times) Its not pretty, besides the obvious windshield danger, you have also the prop, intake, probes.. etc etc. basically anything on the plane. But correctly stated above by couple...

lol.. wow. I wont even comment on the first reply. To the second reply, it is a question.. take it easy captain happy. Def dont want a hot head like you within 10 miles of me. Also no one mentioned "ban". This is all the time I will waste on you.

So how long before the first drone "pilot" causes an incident with an airliner?? (or any airplane), aren't bird strikes enough?. I would not want a drone within 3 miles of my 172 I know that much, at any altitude.

You guys really opened up with your replies.. honest and genuine. If I may pose another question, just purely on curiosity. God forbid your in a bad situation (7700), and time permitting.. would you guys do the "tell my wife I love her" radio call??. or even a message?? since ATC transmissions...

When people say "I have a stalker", 99 out of a 100 times YOU DO NOT (its all in your head). A trick to avoid REAL stalkers though is to NOT post your entire life in a public forum, with location, contact info, and picture. Then the stalkers won't have any fun.

The FAR's clearly list the FIRC as an option. So you just threw a wrench in my LH main gear tire now lol (cause I thought I was done with this forever). Do you have way to confirming this? Maybe an active ground instructor can chime in on this. This is exactly why I posted this question.

totally agree @ papa and golf. thanks guys for all the genuine answers to my question.. I personally dont fly with family even if the winds are a bit iffy. I want a good experience.. not someone praying lol like another poster said and my minimums for safety goes way up with family. This...

lol @ wedding
