All of your stories of different aircraft are awesome. We get the occasional guard blackhawk or chinook but nothing too fancy. Did an hour of solo work. Had the pattern all to myself except for one other 172 departing straight out. Night xcountry (CEU to LZU) tomorrow.

Finally got back into the skies. Between taking months off while I coached, then waiting for over a month while our 152 was down for mx, and having a few flights cancelled due to weather, it has been 4 months since I last flew. Me and my instructor went up and practiced some maneuvers. Did steep...

Awesome. My checkride will be in the somewhat near future so I will tune in and take a few notes.

Found this..... @eman1200 looks a little familiar.

I'll take it if I can't remember. I'll take two on Saturdays and Sundays when I've had too many Busch lattes too.

As a public school teacher I echo everything in this thread as far as lack of motivation and students expecting everything to be handed to them. To be quite honest though, it is incredibly hard to fail a grade. You pretty much have to stop breathing to not pass. Schools are more concerned about...

I can listen to that speed check speech over and over again. It never gets old!

"Clemson traffic, Cessna (it is a 152, not a skyhawk/skylane etc) 407, right downwind runway 25, Clemson" is my typical call. No unnecessary info that is not required by the FAR/AIM. One issue I have noticed though is that some uncontrolled airports use different terms for their location. My...

I use myflightbook.com as well and would recommend it.

This was something that took some time for me but once I began to treat my instructor as a passenger/peer, rather than a safety blanket, that is when I started to feel confidence and really make the most progress. Take ownership and be confident in your decisions. If your instructor doesn't like...

I've actually had the opposite experience. When people ask and I tell them the requirement is 40 hours for your PPL and you are able to carry passengers, they are usually surprised. I also think most of those people don't understand how much you can learn in 40 hours of solo/dual and how costly...

Nice to meet you Mr. Ford.

Sure. Just make sure as soon as I give them my card we all get out as quickly as possible :D

Coupon code posted above worked. Just ordered two, one for myself and one for my CFI.

Sure did, 90%. Missed a couple questions that I shouldn't have but overall felt pretty good about it. I didn't mention it earlier, but some other guy was taking his commercial drone license next to me. I heard him being briefed by the proctor and when the proctor asked if you have ever seen the...

No wife of GF (I probably wouldn't be doing this if I had one :D) but I had the same issue with my mother. Seems everyone she knew at work had a plane crash story once she started mentioning to people that I am getting my license. If she somehow finds out I am flying that day she still wants me...

Took my written at USAeroflight at GMU and went over to the cafe to have a beer and a burger after. I spoke to the GM and told them we plan on coming that Saturday. Gave them 20 people as the number. If we have more than that he said to just call back and update him.

Mine had me show him all my study materials and what I worked on. Asked me a few questions, asked if I was ready, then signed me off. We are part 61.

There is also MzeroA.com. You pay per month there with a few different subscription options. I haven't used his paid services but find all his free info he puts out there to be very beneficial. I honestly think there is enough free information on various sites and youtube to get by without...
