Hello everyone,
Some of you may have seen my thread about which aircraft to choose. But I have more questions, regarding what to do before training. An obvious answer would be to study, (Which I am doing) but I’d like to create a checklist for things to do before starting my training in May (hopefully)
1. Should I just go ahead and take the FAA written exam as long as I’m ready?
2. I’ve heard that some people get their student pilot certificate before training?? Not sure how that’s possible as I thought you couldn’t get one until you’re ready to solo but I was wondering if I could get more info on that, to clarify things.
3. I filled out the FAA’s 8500 form today, but now I’m wondering if it’s such a great idea to go visit a doctor to get my medical at such a time like this with the coronavirus?
4. Any other things I should do?
I’m also working on memorizing features, procedures, checklists and the GPS system of the Cessna 172 and Socata TB-9 on X-Plane.
Thanks,
Andrew
