training

Hey all, I am a student pilot with around 70 hours. I am preparing for my checkride currently and I am struggling with preparing for the oral exam. I watched videos of exams and felt fairly comfortable answering those questions, however... when I went to take a mock checkride with my instructor...

Hi, Can I train and get my private pilot license in an Aviat Husky? Just wanted to see if there were any regulatory requirements that a Husky may not meet. Thanks, Sam

Hello, Please let me know if you are a CFI or you know a CFI who is interest in joining flight school in south east side of Atlanta. Thanks.

I had a student recently ask me, "If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself before starting flight school?" I never thought about it until I had been asked. While there are several things I would advise, I would certainly have recommended that I finish ground training...

Hello all, I am currently in the process of picking out a flight school in the DFW area. I have had an introductory flight with Aviator Air in Grand Prairie and really liked the family atmosphere, and being in the KGPM terminal it was cool to see a Nice Red Cirrus park in front. I have heard of...

I have been researching the idea of buying an aircraft for training purposes. I would like to buy with a partner to relieve some of the maintenance cost. Partner does not have to be in training. Thinking of getting a cheap C150 for a maximum of 25k-30k.If I can find a decent C172 or Piper, IFR...

Hey folks, I have not yet started my instrument training, but I wanted to get a jump start by reading through my Jeppeson Instrument/Commercial book. It is the 2006 version. Do I need to go ahead and buy an updated textbook, or has nothing really changed that much since 2006? Thanks for your...

How does the ercoupe fly compared to a piper Cherokee 140? The 140 feels kind of loose and was wondering if the ercoupe flew better. Thank you

hi, We’re looking for a fun plane to buy to finish up my training and have fun in after -Needs to be under 35K - preferably painted like a military airplane or polished or just a really cool paint job - has ramp appeal - preferably has control stick rather than yoke, or a cool yoke like the...

During my multi-engine training, the VMC discussion - minimum control speed - was an eye opener for me. I had heard VMC was important, but did not realize just how quickly things can turn sour if one doesn't know how to respond to the first signs of losing directional control. As before with...

Hey guys, I'm hiring an instructor around Fairfield, NJ. Let me know if any of you have a few hours available per week, and want some flight hours with competitive rate. (For piper warrior, ground and flight instructor). Please contact casey.mao@airacer.com for more information.

I'm going through multi-engine training right now, working with Doug Rozendaal in Mason City, IA. Really enjoying the experience and his style of teaching; a few things stood out as probably being good reminders for all ME pilots and useful introductions for new ones. Here is "the Drill" Doug...

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...

Just wondering how many of you have experienced an unintentional stall/spin before. What plane were you in and what did you learn from it? I have only done them intentionally in a C-152 and found them hard to get in to. I know it is much easier in a less stable airplane.

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...

All - I'm looking to get my tailwheel endorsement in the Austin area. Does anyone know of any schools or CFI's with a taildragger to get this accomplished within 30 min drive of Austin? (off-peak traffic times :cool:)

Hello, I am PP student, I have been looking for an app that have the ability to show near by aircraft position to use as a secondary precaution to VFR to maximize safety, I have only few hours flying and so far i feel that I have no special issues with aircraft control, the only thing that...

Hello, I just signed up and wanted to introduce myself. I'm currently studying on Sporty's online ground school, and I'm practicing all maneuvers in X-Plane with a yoke, throttle, and rudder pedals. When I've passed the written test and feel confident in X-Plane, I'll switch over to training in...

Good afternoon everyone. Like so many, I have had a lifelong dream to become a pilot. Life, money, lack of support had always stopped me. I am now in a new situation and would like to get educated on REAL LIFE pilot training before I start dropping money into a too old "career". I am 46...

Is there a way to report dangerous improper CFI behavior. Mine frequently plays on his cell phone during Dual instruction. I also feel that him taking personal phone calls while I am sitting out buy the plane waiting, as much as twenty minutes or so and charging the time to my lesson is at best...
