One of our esteemed members refers to himself as a yellow belt, private pilot, ASEL.

As I struggled toward my PPL, I had also rated my progress using the martial arts ranking system.

I put the completion of ground school and the basics of making an airplane go as a yellow belt, white belt before that. First solo gives a blue belt. Leaving the pattern on your own, green belt, then prepping for the check ride, brown belt. Finally, after achieving a PPL, you are a first degree black belt.

As in martial arts, a first degree black belt means you are now ready to start learning, perhaps going for your instrument rating, second degree black belt, and so on.

I kickboxed in the PKA full contact class (forunner of the current UFC league) several years ago. Never went through a single belt trial.
 
John, if you're using my system you start back at white belt for each certificate attained (Pvt, Comm, ATP).

Thanks for the kudos.
 
Is fan aready taken?
 
I'd prefer to bring a gun to a fight of any kind, so I'll take a .308.

rainbow belt

And after a year or so of flying as a black belt, you one day realize you're not even smart enough to deserve a nothing belt.


The School of Hard Knocks is a much more realistic grading/classification system.
