Hello everyone, I'm telling you, If I can go through this training, ANYONE can so go and just do it! I started January 1st 2017. One of my New Year resolutions was to learn how to fly, (I didn't even know what a fuselage was, no aeronautical knowledge at all) so I started like this: *Go and...

Hello, Just an update, I got my student pilot cert in an e-mail. I didn't realize how a piece of paper from the United States Department of Transportation can deliver such good news. I'm excited about my new endeavor. Thanks guys!

I'm not sure about the syllabus I agree, thought I was going to go up for at least 5 hours and just fly around first. Not bashing my CFI, he is a GREAT instructor but I got a lot thrown at me today. He said lesson 3 will be S turns. I asked him to slow it down a little so we will see. Next...

Okay so I just finished lesson two....which was tougher for me than the first one. The first lesson my instructor said I was a "Natural" now lesson number two I noticed that I'm having trouble with ground references. I'm trying to keep my altitude between 900-1000 feet, keeping the plane...

I just purchased the book and I'm making progress with it. Just remembering it is another story..lol

Thank you sir!!

Flying out of Manatee Airport in the Champ. Thanks for all of your help! Wanted to ask a few questions if I may so I can have the right information: What kind of paperwork is needed for the airplane to fly? My CFI told me yesterday but I seem to have forgotten too busy trying to take...

So I ordered the 2017 Book Private Pilot test prep. Going to study it and then take the test only 20 bucks.

I can't find a sport pilot book to read in order to pass the written test does anybody know of one?

Hello! I got my medical in hand (3rd Class) and would like to move forward with getting my Sport Pilot, (Maybe this thread should be in here). I want to get my written out of the way next so I can just focus on the training. I have been up a few times but I don't have much real world flight...

So just an update on my progress, YAAY I got my Medical today, (3rd Class) I didn't know it was that easy. I starved myself the night before thinking they were going to take a blood sugar test or draw blood...silly me didn't do that. At 46 My eyes are still good and I had to pee in a cup, I...

Not a lousy Pilot, just a bad complainer. I don't do that too much, I'm alive, healthy, new medical in my hand...what is there to complain about!

Well, like I mentioned earlier Friday is my Physical and for some reason I'm nervous because I started reading some of the horror stories here on POA. I'm fortunate not to have any ailments but suppose something pops up I didn't know about or my regular doctor didn't catch? This is just scary...

I live on Bearss in Tampa Florida

Ahh, I figured out how the quote thing works...lol Do you mean if I get 40 hours in a sport, I can't carry it over to a PPL? The main reason why I'm pursuing a sport is because it's like a halfway mark to the PPL.

Thank you, Today I have been playing FSX and I went into lessons Rod Machado is a hoot. Some of this ground school and the lessons are pretty informative. My goal is to know as much as I can BEFORE getting into the airplane. Maybe it will help lower the amount of hours I need to fly for training.

Why do you say that?

I just purchased the Rod Machado how to fly an airplane Handbook will that help with my lessons?

Okay, so I filled out form 8500-8 to bring with me to my doctor. My CFI told me to get a medical first even though the sport pilot doesn't need it, I'm going to eventually earn a PPL so I'm going to need a 3rd class medical. I don't take any medication or have any serious illness so I'm lucky...

Is there a book I can purchase so I can keep up with the lessons?
