I live in rural Oregon. There are 2 instructors at my local airport but they instruct in a flight club plane that is not instrument rated, and they are booked solid all the time. The only other local instructor is at an airport 45 minute drive away, and is in a similar boat of not having an...

Well that's kinda my whole idea. Most of the time I work 60-70hrs a week so not much time to study or fly. That's why I am thinking of taking 3 months off and doing nothing but flying and studying. Any decent flight schools are not local so it involves me being out of town and not working. If I...

Hello everyone! I am 32 and have had my ppl for 10 years, however, due to unfortunate life events, tough times, and stupid decisions, I only have about 60hrs. I have been serious about flying as a career since I first got in a small plane and I am still very interested in it. I have Finally...

From airport to airport it’s roughly 230nm or a 370 mile drive. I am working on my instrument Rating, but I am a little ways away from it. I have also considered the C206, they are just a bit more than I want to spend, but not out of the question if it makes the most sense to go for. As...

For a decent plane, what should I be looking for in terms of times and maintenance for the aircraft?

Thank you all for your input! I definitely have a lot to look into! I little more info about myself might help out a bit. I already have my ppl and am going to start working on my instrument Rating. Speed is definitely most important to me, however I do have a family that I would like to take...

Hello all! I am wanting to buy a plane as a commuter for work. I have to drive roughly 6 hours 2 times a week and my time is very valuable to me, so being able to cut that time down is important. So far I like the capabilities and specs of the C182, and I am familiar with Cessnas already...

Hello folks! I am looking at getting my sister and brother-in-law some good sunglasses for flying, and wanted peoples opinion on what would be a good choice. Price isn’t a big issue. I know that I don’t want get polorized lenses, but otherwise I am not really sure what to look for. Thanks!

Hello. I have wanted to fly my entire life, and it is something that I have wanted to do for a living for as long as I can remember. I got my private pilot certificate about 5 years ago but had to stop flying because I was not able to afford it. I am still not able to afford to fly...

I am going to finish my Mathematics degree no mater what I do, I would just rather get my commercial pilots license over an engineering degree on top of my mathematics degree.

Thank you :) this is more or less they way I have been thinking about things and how I like to look at life. Engineering was something that I thought/think would keep me from dying of boredom but when I think of doing that for a living over flying a cringe. Thanks again everyone for taking...

Thank you everyone for all of the input! I do think that I will probably forget about the engineering degree for now and finish working on my commercial certificate. I am going to finish up my BS in Mathematics as I am only 1 semester away from completion but I will start working on my...

Hello, I wanting the opinion of some of the more experienced pilots out there on what I should do. A little background information about myself: I am currently 24 years old, I am almost done with a bachelors in Mathematics and have been considering continuing on to get a masters in...
