    Cessna Flight Training or Jeppesen

    I started flying after I got all prepared for the written test. Within a week or so of beginning to fly my CFI signed off for my written and I promptly took the test.

    Cessna Flight Training or Jeppesen

    I used the King/Cessna kit "Cessna Sport / Private Pilot Kit - Online" for $325 on sale. It was a great resource. When I completed the course, I studied using all the free online resources, found a flight school and passed the written. I think the flight school would rather that I had taken...

    I think winds were 15G20. On the day we finally did the flight portion they were about 12 or 13 which I liked. That gave me an excuse for a not so perfect landing. haha

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Same thing happened to me. But, in the end I think it was better. We cancelled the initial entire test because of Wx. Second time we completed the oral but the winds were way to high to do the flight. Had to wait three weeks to do the flight portion because of DPE schedule. I think having...

    Written test scheduled and close to checkride.

    Use all available resources in preparation for both the written and the practical. I purchased the King course early in my training but I think you are past the point where it would do you a lot of good. There are several free online practice tests for the written. As far as the practical...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    After 57 flight hours in preparation for today I received the Temporary Airman Certificate for Airplane Single Engine Land. A dream I've had since I was a kid and my dad would take us out to the local airport to watch planes come and go. When I retired a year and a half ago I decided I would...

    My checkride is scheduled for Saturday 5 May. Initially scheduled for 24 March but after completing the Oral part I couldn't fly because of weather. Then scheduled for 21 April. That was also cancelled due to weather. Hopefully it will be good next Saturday.

    E6B

    I too wondered if I needed the electronic E6B. I didn't get it and got along fine with the manual one. You can learn the manual one in a very short period of time. Do some flight planning with it. I think it's actually easier to use.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Finally had some nice weather today so I could finish my solo requirement. Practiced steep turns, power on and off stalls, slow flight, turns around a point. I've had to cancel several times over the last two weeks. I am now done with all requirements for private and just need to do the...
