I've watched a few videos with him and of course his narration on Flight Simulator. If that translated well into the books, I think they'd be good, or at least easy to read and re-read.

Forgot to mention, that's the only aviation book I own so far - read it about 15 years ago as a kid and dug it out again. :)

Just spotted that one, I'll investigate further!

Hello, first - thank you for all the great info on this forum, I'm more of a reader than a poster but I'm struggling finding a book. I haven't started my training but have taken two discovery flights over the past year and rode along with a student for a couple hours. I'm pretty familiar with...

That will be perfect, thank you Greg

Is there a map (maybe styled like a heat map or this) of the US that would indicate areas on average with X days of IFR / VFR, etc... ? I can view real-time here and many other places of course, but I was curious if any yearly averages exist...

Thank you again for the replies, it's a lot to consider. Sorry to be vague on the schedule piece but I just didn't want to be away more than I was home or need to move every few years. :)

Thank you for the responses so far!

Is there a nice resource explaining the aircraft rental process for someone with a private pilot certificate? (For personal use of the plane) Some of the topics / terms are confusing for newbies just estimating costs down the road. Here are my assumptions so far, am I on track? "Wet"...

Please be constructive, I'm allowed to dream.

Hello, I'm glad I found these forums since I don't really know any pilots! I have been interested in aviation for many years. (R/Cs and full-size) I may be in a position to switch career paths and am having difficulty finding careers as a pilot other than in the airline industry. What are...
