I’m an assistant manager... at an automatic car wash... It took me many years of stopping and starting training to complete my ppl but that was due to me trying to have several hobbies. I had about 25 hrs total when I finally decided I was going to make flying a priority and gave up the other...
My dad was a pro wrestler in the Tennessee territories and some of the other southeastern territories in the 60s and 70s. He also worked a full time job. He got his license and starting flying to and from the matches so he wouldn’t miss work. His Apache was burned to the ground at the airport...
I’ve only had my certificate for about a month so I can’t impart the kind of wisdom some of these guys can. I’ll say this though..... stay with it. No matter how long it’s seeming to take, or what kind of roadblocks come along.. some might be learning related, mine were money related. It will...

Checkride is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Meeting with the DPE today after work to let him give my logbook a look. Can’t wait but am really nervous lol
It’s starting to look more and more like my instruction hasn’t been up to par. I’ve read lots about accelerated stalls but have yet to be shown one. I should’ve brought this up to my CFI so I’m partially to blame as well. This thread has me beginning to wonder if I should’ve been signed off...
