Thank you guys! Many moons ago, I use to fly with my dad, see below....taken in I believe 1981, lol. Also, I had started my PPL on a couple of occasions over the years, but it didn't take priority, stupid me. At a different place now, it's time to make this a reality. The plan Ryanb is to...

Yeah, I am a dork for posting this, but I am excited about it! Purchased full access to Gold Seal's online ground school a couple of days ago and already half way through model 1. Really like the video interaction, along with the reading from supplemental chapters from Pilot Handbook of...

Sweet! I appreciate that! Don't be a stranger if you are out and about on those given days.

Thank you Mike! I appreciate the thoughts. I will look in to the period stuff. Personally I like the idea of a talking head and still have the Jeppesen material too. BTW: You are flying out of KDTO, correct? I picked up a part time gig at US Jet; I am there Monday and Wednesday nights...

I purchased the Jeppesen Private pilot 61 Kit, so I have the hardcopy (old school) and stuff, but have not picked an instructor yet and don't want to spend a bunch of money on ground school with the instructor; rather use that time for Q&A and most importantly flight instruction. I have however...

I am quite old school. I love maps and lines. I am 47 now, use to fly with my dad when I was 12 and really enjoyed navigating. This high tech stuff is great, but I believe one should know the basics and how to do it manually. Saw it first hand in the Army, we had cool stuff, but cool stuff...

That's pretty slick Dean! Seems like a person can run a lot of functionality without having to purchase major expenditures in the way of in dash mounted avionics. I may get flamed for that comment, but certainly gives a person a lot of visibility on many things at a low price, i.e. Fore Flight...

Okay, so I am new and starting my PPL training. This thread is very good, thank y'all for the information. Looks like I am settled on the iPad Mini 4! But something I caught in this thread is that folks are using multiple devices at the same time in the cockpit, and are both on Fore Flight...

Man! Thank you again and again Mike.

Glad to know that I am not crazy in my assumptions, lol! I figured this model could be scalable to 1) bring in additional folks and 2) additional aircraft at a later date. Given that we live in Keller, we have certainly looked into the TCC flight program, however, I have heard mix reviews. I...

Thank you for the great information AggieMike88, greatly appreciated. I will also do some research on the larger "go places" aircraft and see how those work into the model. A little back story. My son is 16 and plans to make a career in commercial aviation and I am would like to at least get...

In the process of developing a partnership for 6 people in the north Fort Worth, Texas area (Meacham, Alliance, Roanoke or Denton). I am floating a balloon here to see if there is any interest. The model / mission is to provide a reliable airplane at a reasonable hourly wet rate and low...
