I have like 55 hours now. I got a 83 on my written and most of my questions I got wrong were about vor’s which is weird because they’re not that difficult. maybe it was trick answers idk

Yes I agree, I go home and study (probably two hours today on weather alone) then I go to the next lesson and forget a lot that I studied. I think it is a comprehension problem honestly. But yes it still does fall on me

I am at the very end stage of my private, we’re starting to look at examiner availability but I am becoming far more doubtful that I am capable of passing a checkride currently. Multiple instructors have told me I fly good but my maneuvers still feel sloppy, much worse that a few months ago. But...

yeah i'd be flying 2x a week if I could but my instructor has absolutely no extra time. In a 5 week time frame I could only find 5 slots

Haha I forgot I had posted this, things have turned out well for me. Since posting this I picked up a 2nd job bussing tables and have been working 7 days to get some money I now have 4k in the bank. I also applied and won the AOPA high school scholarship and should get those funds in the next...

I kind of see where you are coming from now, on my medx I applied for a 3rd because I didn't know if I saw 20/20 but after the vision test my AME said I qualified for a 1st class and said he would change the class before sending it in. My medical say's first class on it but it seems like...

(Also posted this on reddit so sorry if you see it again but am asking a different question) Received this letter from the faa today https://ibb.co/6rDYJ9K and essentially they don’t think I am fit enough for a 1st but a 3rd is ok so they lowered my medical to a 3rd which is good because I can...

thanks, I also meant no-go haha

Is melatonin a no-go in regards to the faa medical? I hold a first-class and don't want to jeopardize it. Supporting documents welcome

heres some info that may help https://pilot-protection-services.aopa.org/news/2015/may/05/a-review-of-the-faa-requirements-for-atrial-fibrillation https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/special_iss/all_classes/afib/ seems like it might be a SI

Hopefully @bbchien will weigh in, he's the best AME on here

I have 2,000 right now and am gonna take my written before I start so i’ll have a nice 2,500 at least, there’s just a lot of people saying to save 90% before you start and that flying once a week doesn’t cut it so it just has me kind of stressed out. Thanks

i’m starting my ppl journey currently, already have my medical so I don’t have to deal with that. I’m just having a mental battle with myself about why i’m not flying yet. I know saving up money (which i’m doing now) then starting is the best way to do it but on the other hand all I can think...

not to soon at all this was pretty good... unless you live in flint
