Sounds like a future Cherokee 6 owner, the PA32, now called the Saratoga, got to love Piper and their naming conventions. You may want to take a few introductory rides. See if you like it. Get your medical out of the way. Then find an FBO Piper dealer that will sell you a PA28 Cherokee to...

Not every conviction is preceded by an arrest. The Question could be presented differently but I know one attorney that interpreted the and/or portion this way. The answer is yes If you have ever been convicted. So in the case of the OP, no.

It's all flying, that's what counts. I was lucky and did some of my PPL in a tailwheel so I never actually needed to get an endorsement. I added a Glider rating. I did the step up to a complex and High Performance so I could rent an aircraft that reduced my travel time. My commercial and...

I was a powered pilot, PPL, with a fear of losing an engine for real, sure I did the engine out stuff and could do the spot landing well enough to pass my check ride, but I always had that nagging thought in the back of my head, what if, what if the engine quick for real, could I actually put it...

in my J3, I'd open the door on the right side and lock the window in the hinged up position and slide the left window down. With the cub trimmed I could extend both arms out the sides of the aircraft and by changing the aerodynamics of my hands, I could cause the aircraft to roll left or right...

What's old is new again. It's gone full circle and will most likely continue to do so. At least as far as stalls training requirements go. That’s where the glider world has the power side beat. They have always required full stalls and spin recovery be part of their basis pilot training...

If he’s working on his instrument rating he won’t be doing much sightseeing. I suggest he do what I did and schedule all your flights at night, smoother flights, aircraft were always available, and the instructor was available.

Good job and welcome. By the way, go take a glider ride, they are all spinable. infact it's mandatory.

For the centennial celebration of flight I was asked to fly my J3 along with several other pilots flying other classic aircraft into KEWR. With special dispensation from the FAA and freshly memorizing the light Gun singles and some brand new handhelds, We arrived at the appointed time and...

The discovery flights that I conduct and I do a lot of them, I really enjoy introducing and training primary flight students. You may want to let your wife take a separate flight, so she can sit up front and ask the questions that a lot of wives want to ask but are afraid of looking dumb in...

First of all well done. wow, a total of 5.6 hours for ground and air time. Sounds like someone needed a pay check. I'm a CFI and if it goes over 3 or 4 hours for one of my students, I generally have a conversation with the designee to see exactly what issues were discovered that required so...

This is for a transition to an unfamiliar Airplan, correct? take and look at AC 90-109.

I would think so, both have medical and the medical is what gives the Safty pilot the authority to act as PIC as long as he/she holds the ratings.

As a CFI I'd advise you all to always land into to wind, even the 4kts kind. Spend some time in a J3 or any tail wheel aircraft and see just how important it is. Sure there were times when flying company equipment and because of traffic flow and scheduling I've busted that personal rule. But...
