That would of course be in clear violation of 91.111 (b)

So to add to my thoughts, I am in the enjoyment class. I don't have any interest in doing it for a job. It would be purely the enjoyment of the act. I'd have to agree with some, that if I've forgotten some and I get to learn some stuff again, sobeit. Until I have my own Piper, flying as much as...

So getting back on topic here with less flaming, i think all the info suggested has given me a very realistic idea of what is needed, when and why. Thanks guys

I was wondering how often I will need to fly in order to retain what I've learned once I've received my private pilot certificate over the long haul. I am a reasonably intelligent person but I'm wondering how much the use it or lose it may apply here. I don't have unlimited funds to fly twice...

To clarify, it is a pay as you go method, they just wanted to be able to fly 2x week for the most benefit. I wasn't really sure what sop is for this. Thanks

So I found I school that has pretty reasonable rates? I'm near Tucson fwiw. My original plan was to do it at my pace flying 2-3 times per month as my budget allows. They have basically told me that I should be flying 2x per week and that I should either charge it or save enough until I can do...
