I completed my PPL on July 24th but I have yet to take passengers. I feel confident enough, I just haven't had a person reach out to me that is interested that would also be comfortable in our 152. When I finally get checked out in our club 172s I feel as though I will have more opportunity to...

I doubt we have too many Marvel fans on here, but I just watched Infinity War for the first time last night and it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have Deadpool 2 waiting for me for later this week. As far as movies that would be good in a home theater, it's hard to beat Saving...

Congrats!

On my PPL checkride when the DPE shook the yoke and said you're getting some crazy gusts, what are you going to do? Go around!

Still a student pilot, just an instrument student now! I haven't started training yet, I am going to just enjoy flying and get into as many different types as I can and study up on the FAAs instrument flying handbook. Yesterday I flew one of our clubs 172s for the first time, a 172N. One of the...

Bookmarked. Hope they still have this in a year from now.

Clemson has a home game 9/15 and we set up a huge tailgate so I doubt I can make this. Now that I have my ppl I really want to start actively meeting up with you guys. If I am in any decent shape to fly Sunday morning though I might come down for the breakfast club.

Is that for this Saturday?? I am going to a concert in Atlanta... I might just have to fly to your field and come check out that bomooney.

I have a chance to fly in a couple high performance aircraft, and am hoping to gain my endorsement in case the owners are kind enough to let me log PIC. I just ordered the FAA pilots handbook of aeronautical knowledge. I liked that for explanation of the systems like CS prop. Any other good...

I first had it scheduled with Cyndy Hollman, but scheduling and weather prevented that ride. She is a new DPE and I have no advice to offer for her. I actually took my ride with Tom Burke, and he was a great person to deal with and it was a fantastic experience. All questions were based on real...

Alright so finally back in town on my computer, I'll spill the beans on my checkride. I am an awful writer and tend to ramble on, so sorry in advance for that and the long post. If someone wants to proof read and edit it and send me a PM I'll gladly edit this post:D. This was for Tuesday 7/24...

Upstate SC was not the easiest to get something booked. Took a month ahead of time to get a spot. I had two cancellations with a lady who recently became a DPE due to weather. After the 2nd cancellation she said it would be a month until she had an open spot. I called the other DPE in our area...

Well third time was a charm. Weather held up and ceilings were just high enough to get my checkride in. Did well on my oral, not my best on the flight portion but within standards. I’m on my phone now, I’ll post details when I get to a computer. Feels really good. Time to start reading up on...

Ceilings didn’t look great by Lauren’s but I went to our airport to get ready anyways. Couldn’t find the keys to our 152 anywhere in the clubhouse or airplane and no one wrote up any maintenance issues so trying to figure out what’s up with it. Sorry I missed you guys again. I can’t wait to get...

I’ve got our 152 booked and will make a go/no go call in the morning. Hope the weather holds up. I’m trying to become a life long member of the breakfast club.

I flew into GMU the night before, had to wait out some thunderstorms but made it no problem. Was at the Jet Center at 7:30 AM and got a call from the DPE around 8 asking what I thought about the weather forcast. It looked like crap honestly (this was Tuesday), and I said that. She agreed and...

Checkride is tomorrow, weather permitting. Ill keep you posted on it.

Well you guys probably figured by my lack of update on the checkride that it didn’t happen. We had low ceilings Saturday morning until 10:30 and that was too late at that point for my dpes schedule. We had a tentative date for tomorrow morning but she got called to the airlines so rescheduled...

Weathers not looking great for my checkride tomorrow. Fog/low ceilings in the morning when I’m supposed to fly to GMU from CEU. 12-22 kt winds in the afternoon according to the TAF. We’ll see what happens. Worst case I could drive there to try to knock out the oral.

Thanks! I will be using Cyndy Hollman. Some of you may have seen her ground school youtube videos. We called Tom (I don't know his last name) and he was booked up for a while and he referred us to her. She is a local CFI who recently became a DPE. I'm planning a cross country from KGMU to KPDK...
