Generally favor positive posts but also appreciate the honest input I've received around here and wish to return the favor. The honest truth is that the Sporty's PJ2 radio truly sucks. It quit working, after about a total usage of 1 hour. It is 16 months old. Nobody cares. Looking on...

I've looked here and elsewhere and cannot find what I'm after. I'm familiar with the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and did well on the written test. BUT--- I cannot find a simplistic and chronologically readable of who to call and when to get my plane in the air properly. for...

I whined a lot about sportys learn to fly course being “incomplete” and requiring lots of book work but in the end I scored well. Which leads me to oral / checkride prep. What is yiur favorite approach and why ? videos? books?

I live on a lake in East Grand Rapids, MI. (Reeds Lake). Some guy landed a seaplane here a decade ago and it caused a stir. Why ? He was cited by the local city government and I don't know what the exact 'charges' were, but they were eventually dropped. The pilot was a CFI so it not like...

I'm spending a silly amount of hours trying to prep for my PPL written. I've completed the Learn to Fly course (online video, sporty's) and enjoyed the course. I've also done probably 30-40 hours of test prep. When I take the quizzes I get better every time and am routinely in the 90's on...

has anyone recently taken the private pilot written ? I’m interested in knowing how much weather vs weight-balance vs VOR stuff etc bonus points if you were a Sportys student and can opine about the test prep questions versus the ‘real test’

i'm over half way to my PPL and starting the thought process / preliminary shopping, which currently has me in an amphibious plane of some sort, perhaps a 206 or my current favorite, a DHC Beaver, on Amphibs so I can leave it south in winter and use runways near home when not on water...

Of course way ahead of myself and abilities. Cant help it. Half way into flight training and spending too much time on trade-a-plane and controller. I already know it's gonna need to be a float plane, as I live in two places and both are on or near water. Which are viable options as a...

It's not that I'm in a hurry here-- it's something i'm doing for fun. Despite all that, i'm pretty unclear about the training process from where I am to 'PPL in hand, go buy your plane now.' I"m looking for your input on what my "syllabus" is or should look like. It seems i'm kinda...

My CFI has been awesome ! But-- he's leaving for the major leagues in January. I'll probably be 20+ hours in by that point, imagine i'll have solo'd by then, and surely done with my Sportys on-line ground school, maybe even done w/ the written test ? I'm wondering if there is a school that...

a few flights in and about to schedule a 3rd class med exam. I quit drinking a couple years ago. I got some counseling, attended an outpatient thing... it's not been hard for me at all. Zero desire to go back to that way of life. But in the before / during process, doctors gave me...
