Hi, i have a nice amount of prior dual training and solo flying, i passed the written, and now i'm looking for a good school to finish up, living in Rockland county in NY, any of the northern NJ schools could potentially work, i'm looking for a school with a nice program, enough instructors and...

Hi everyone, I was trying to complete the foreign license verification process (EASA to FAA), last step should have been on the 22nd of Jan with my nicely arranged appointment with an FSDO but government shutdown struck and it’s still in place, so the FSDOs are still closed. Since I’ll be...

After reading threads on PPL training material, I was looking to try to get my bf a gift for Christmas he could actually use in his upcoming training. I've downloaded some FAA manuals to possibly print so he will have hard copies but I was looking to buy him some other training material for his...

Edit 2/13/18 - It took 25 hours for me to solo and now that I'm at this point I realized the hours don't mean anything. I didn't understand this starting out. Now that I am at this point it makes a lot more sense. Also I pay $150/Hobbs Hour for a 172, and $50/CFI Hour Roughly I have spent...

Hello, I am working on getting my private pilot license. I do have some medical conditions, so I was given a special issuance 3rd class medical by the FAA. I took a break from flight training, and the medical is now expired. So I was wondering, rather than having to get another special issuance...

I have a UK CAA PPL and want to fly in the US. I understand I have two options: 1) Conversion to FAA (Piggyback). 2) New FAA PPL (from scratch). I intend to do IR and CPL in the US, so my understanding is to get a standalone FAA PPL. I also understand that my hours in the UK will count...

I am close to completing my PPL. Any recomendations on a good book to reference for the oral section.

I really like the idea of pursuing my PPL by joining a local club for access to lower rental rates on planes and then seeking out a part-time freelance CFI to pay directly for training (and maybe even barter for some of it using my stellar engineering skills!). My question is two-fold: 1. What...

Ok, first a bit of background - I'm 15, US citizen, but live in Moscow, Russia, for family reasons. I'm looking into getting a PPL at seventeen/eighteen and then working up to eventually getting an ATPL at some point. Hopefully. First of all, is it worth doing things like the summer flight...
