AWESOME

wow.. what an angry thread at times lol. What I find funny is that the FAR/AIM book tells you everything (in my opinion anyway) in clear English. Im amazed so many dont understand the difference between certs and ratings.. this should be PPL level knowledge. Im sure there are CFI-I l's out there...

dont quit your corporate job and do ATP part time. Not everyone gels with ATPs "program". So its good to have that job as backup.

1. the knowledge you have from PPL (vast) 2. IFHB &/or IPHB ($20-45) 3. ASA test prep book ($20) 4. print out the instrument charts for your airport and local airports from skyvector.com (free) 5. buy your local EnRt Low Alt Chrt ($8) 6. study 7. watch videos on youtube (free) 8. study 9. take...

awesome son @Jeff Oslick many adults cant use a garmin lol

Anything involving the word "airplane" is a bad plan lol... but we only live once, which is why life is so great. And don't worry you will get your SI.. good luck

Me personally... (I don't have kids yet).. but I would find it nerve racking to watch my daughter (a daughter would be nice lol) do her first solo. Becuase I know so many things can go wrong. Like @eman1200 I didnt tell any family members when I was training because I didn't want them to worry...

great wife @danhagan those are the ones you don't divorce lol

awesome @luvflyin I love to hear stories of women succeeding in Aviation. Hilarious @Zeldman great stories from everyone..

congrats. I remember reading your "newbie" post.. now your a PILOT. well done. keep us updated. Your next super amazing milestone is that long XC. Almost as good (maybe even better if you ask some people) as your first solo.

wow.. those mountain pics. AWESOME.. jelly, so jelly lol.

As long as he has a AOA sensor he will be ok.

I did self study (many material and vids, FAA books etc.), bought the ASA test prep BOOK ($24??), used their prepware code to get sign off. Total cost was the price of the test prep book. I did this for PAR, IRA, and CAX. There is no reason for anyone to spend 16 weeks in a "ground school" and...

@ citizen your making no sense. Also, as other posters have said, obviously doing pilotage/dead reckoning in the day is better than at night. But back to the OP question, yes you can do both and it would count. BUT, I still recommend doing the day dual XC, remember that your still going to do...

@ citizen, I respectfully disagree. Are you saying indirectly that a night flight can not ALSO be a XC??. I think the list are more "requirements" and not things.. The CFI can take his student on a dual nite XC that is over 100nm away.. do 10 TO/LAND in pattern.. and make it 3hrs of flying...
