@jmp470, @citizen5000, First off, this is mostly for pleasure. There will come a time in the future that I could use an airplane for business but I'm not sure if I should depend on an LSA for that. I mostly want to fly regionally. I live in Las Vegas, so Southern California and Arizona might be...

Yeah I want to be 100% sure I can pass. I can work it all out during my year or so of flying the LSA. I do want to move up to better aircraft at some point though. Any suggestions on an LSA model? Flightdesignusa.com is supposedly the best model. Oh for now I just want to fly for pleasure but it...

Well I looked at the medical examiner guide again and considering the decision making process they do take into account previous aeronautical experience. I'm thinking about getting an LSA and fly that around for a year or so then applying for the medical certificate. I can show that I'm stable...

I just read the Examiners Guide and I'm not feeling too confident about getting a medical :(

@AggieMike88. I'll contact Dr Chien soon, but like u said I won't submit anything until I'm sure I won't get denied. Thanks again.

Yeah I'm dying to FLY anything right now! I think your advice is right on. Thanks for your help.

@starglider, thanks for the advice. I have a really strange medical history. Ive been misdiagnosed a couple times already and even had a doctor tell me to quit taking the Zoloft but that was a few doctors and a few years ago. I'm just going to be persistent and do everything I can. Also, I'm not...

Wow, yeah that does help a lot. I'll email Dr. Chien asap. Good idea, I'll get those books and start studying. I do appreciate all your help Mike. Thanks again, Van.

I'm jealous!

Mike, thanks again for the advice. Yes, I will not pursue this any longer if I can't get a medical. You mentioned SSRI meds. I do take Zoloft - something I've been taking for about 13 years. I also take Wellbutrin, but I heard both of these are not automatic denials and that they are considered...

Good advice. I do have something in my medical history but I think I'll be ok if I just stop taking some meds and get a Dr. To say I'm ok. Also, I looked up the academy in Denton. It does look pretty good. It looks much like the academy near Portland which has 36 152's in its fleet. I wouldn't...

Hey thanks for the replies everyone. Mtuomi, I need to get some hours behind me and get a Commercial incl. Mutli. before I know what to buy. I hope to jump into a King Air C90 after training in one for a while. The flight academy I'm thinking about going to has 3 of them. Anyway, lots to think...

Oh, I intend on learning/getting certifications in rented aircraft like most people.

Thanks ktup-flyer. Yes I intend on using single-engine and multi piston for training up to a Commercial, but what after that? And I'm asking because I want to do this in my OWN AIRCRAFT. I don't need a "gig". Thanks for your reply though.

Thanks RyanB, well I've gotten a good settlement from Microsoft. I can afford it within reason. I don't intend on buying a Gulfstream 650, but I could afford a Citation Mustang. I think my second aircraft will be a King Air C90, but I'm wondering what to use as a first airplane???

Is this not a valid question? If not, why?

What is a good path to get from 0 hours to private jet in your own aircraft? What airplanes would you buy if you had the means to purchase whatever aircraft you wanted? (Also, I really don't want to buy a single engine piston if I don't have to. I would like to start out with a single-engine...
