Thank you for the detailed explanation. It is always sad to hear stories like this.

CRASH August 12, 2023 Reports indicate many individuals noted a small plane was having engine troubles and just when the aircraft was over the tree line, the pilot turned the plane and it immediately went in. The pilot died and there is an ongoing investigation...

I am a Sport Pilot. The training was minimal and I want to learn more in regards to aviation. The reason that I completed my AGA and will be completing the IGI is that I enjoy studying and learning new things. These are the reasons I took the AGA and that I want to take the IGI.

Thank you dmspilot. It looks like the study guide is the FAA-H-8083-15, Instrument Flying Handbook.

I just completed the Advanced Ground Instructor (AGA) course. I am about to purchase the Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI) course? Is there a study guide that shows the coursework cirriculum? Is this coursework difficult? Thank you.

As a mortician for 24 years, I will just say this: At age 13, you’re “boujee ”. At age 33, you’re “cool”. At age 53, you’re “content”. At age 63, you’re “lucky”.

I just completed my AGA studies and passed the written. I am now going to sign up for the IGI tomorrow. Using Sheppard for both. Being a Sport Pilot and going through the AGA course, I felt the information will be very useful for me. I am excited to see what the IGI has to offer. Thanks guys.

That is exactly why I created this post. When I studied for my pilot certificate, I used Gleim and read and learned all the material for my written. Now that I am using Sheppard, my usual studying pattern is deviated to acclimate to Sheppard’s coursework. I am ok with it, I just feel like I am...

Thank you for the responses. I have had one day going through the instructions and coursework. It seems to me it is set-up as a rote memorization tool to pass the test.

I just purchased Sheppard Air for my studies. It indicates that you follow their curriculum, you will pass. What are your thoughts on this curriculum and does it work?

My contribution to this thread is: During my training, I informed my instructor that I was overwhelmed with the book work, the flights, the training, the turbulence, everything. He suggested that him and I just go fly together; no training, no stress, just fly around. When we landed, he asked...

There is no involvement with a DPE. In fact, you do not have to be a certified pilot to be an AGI. In order to be a AGI, one must: Have taken the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI), if you are not a certified teacher or not an instructor at a university, Take and pass (70%) the AGI knowledge...

I appreciate all the advice. I now understand what it means when my flight instructor said my pilot certificate is a license to learn. Good times!

I received my pilot certificate in August 2020. I completed my Fundamentals of Instructing in December 2021. I am currently studying for my Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI) rating. Does any here have their AGI rating?

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions and guidance. I now have insurance. Thank you!

There are many choices with Renter’s Insurance. I know AOPA offers a small discount on insurance if you are an active, good-standing member. I am looking for an affordable insurance rate. If anyone has any guidance to share, that would be appreciated.

Great time today. Flew 1.2 in the Evektor Harmony. Will fly once more and get signed off. Then off to Aurora for tower work.

Thanks! Exactly right Warmi. Hope to finally meet you sometime. That’s what I heard. I do not own the Harmony, I rent. My girlfriend said I cannot buy a plane until I put a ring on it so... I am training under the wings of “Sport Pilot Chicago” at C09 and 0C8.

I am a Sport Pilot. This Sunday I will begin my airspace training for my logbook endorsement in the Evektor Harmony. I will be one hour from Chicago O’Hare. Very exciting times!

If I made it through my aviation training circumstances, than anyone can.
