I watched some of his videos. I was considering Gleim because I have a ton of their (2009) books and knew the system. But to be honest I would like what real world pilots have used and recommend. There is a local Helo pilot who is a MedE and I used him last time. It was like $150 in 2009.

I see pilots using tablets on youtube videos. That's pretty cool. I saw one that even gave synthetic vision while taxiing and flying. A lot of new tech changes. My CFI ould cover the GPS most times so I would practice the VOR without cheating. It is pretty neat learing how to get around by...

Both the planes we used had Garmin 430s. Don't know how that stacks up now.

I'm a student starting back after a long break. The thing the got me the most on landings was a fear of pulling up too much on the yoke. I would touch down and get a little hard on the nose. It took me a while to feel comfortable getting the plane to stall as soon as the main wheels touched...

anyone know any good CFIs out of KHDC, KNEW or KAPS?

I got you covered. I saw another post on food recs from the city and first reply was a tourist only place. lol I'm a foodie, I could pay for flight training to ATP if I cut out my daily lunches. lol. Pro-tip New Orleans isn't known for Cajun food, it's all Creole here. Most confuse...

One odd thing looking back was that we would switch between planes. They only had one 172 and one archer. So I got to do a little of both. I remember the piper never wanting to stall and being really easy to fly. If it had two doors I would love it. I know I am forgetting a lot of both. I...

Kenner Louisiana, I live about 3 miles from KMSY, in a suburb of New Orleans. My home airport was KNEW.

The schools near me are pa4t 141. The one I went to used Gleim. I was under 141 in training. Though after reading today, I found 61 to be better. I also found a school not far away that uses 61. I plan to go to flight school having already passed the FAA written exam and only needing...

re:medical. I passed one years ago. I briefly had a high BP but I got that back in check with diet and exercise. I don't have diabetes and have no drug/liquor convictions. I'm not afraid of the ME.

Just restarting. 32 hours training then stopped. Should never have stopped as it's hard to restart. I got bit by the flying bug again and want to jump back in. Jaded by ground schooling last time. I have now found that I can do that online and then take the test. I plan to do that then...

Hello, first post. I have 32 hours total time. 11 in a Piper Archer and the rest in a 172. I love flying and got bit by the bug at the Air Force museum in Dayton. All of my flying was out of a busy Delta airport under a mode C veil and in Bravo airspace for transitions west. So I was...
