    Instrument Training at HPN?

    Not surprising, this was 2 1/2 years ago. I'm sure she finally moved up to the regionals by now.

    Instrument Training at HPN?

    Jason, is Angie H. still there? If so tell her I started up again and that I am almost ready to solo. Tell her my CFI said she did a good job teaching me landings!:)

    Instrument Training at HPN?

    Ron I suspect that we are very close in age. I turn 52 this summer, and I think I read somewhere that you started flying in the early 70's. That should put us within a few years of each other.

    Instrument Training at HPN?

    But in the long run, isn't that a good thing?. When you are in the clouds, you want to have the best training you can get, and the money be d-mned! I have a sneaky suspicion that Ron has forgotten more about aviating than most of ever knew.

    Instrument Training at HPN?

    Instrument Training at HPN?

    When I was training at HPN about 2 1/2 years ago, I was at Panorama. I thought it was a very fine outfit. Talk to Rich Orentzel, chief Flight Instructor, 888-359-7266 (Toll Free) mailto:ROrentzel@flypfs.com. If you don't find a good instructor there, ask, they might know of a good one nearby.

    Return to the cockpit

    I had about 11 hours. I'm feeling somewhat confident that I will solo with=in another 5-10. At least my CFI was already talking about what I need to demonstrate before he signs me off. I never raised the subject at all.

    Return to the cockpit

    First lesson after 2 1/2 years: The day dawned rainy and windy, and I thought my return would be scrubbed. I called just befor leaving for the airport, and we were still a go, my instructor said he was just up and it would be fine, its not as bad as it looked. So we go thru a short briefing, do...
