I'm asking for your opinions, please. My check ride is scheduled for the 25th of this month (next week). However, my CFI has NOT endorsed my logbook yet for the check ride. I still don't have all my under hood time done (I need one more hour). I can't do short/soft field landings/takeoffs to...

During my flight training in Ocala, I met a gentleman who certainly knows what he wants to do, and it definitely shows. He has a PPL, with Instrument, Multi-Engine, and Commercial ratings, and is now trying to become a CFI. "So what!" you say? I think it's incredible--considering he's only...

I'm currently enrolled in an accelerated flight training program. It's been almost two weeks since I began. After this Saturday, I will have completed all my XCs. I'm supposed to have my check ride sometime next week, but I don't feel at all prepared for it. My mistake was taking the written...

I finally soloed this morning after many years and hours! It was terrifying and exciting at the same time! This afternoon, I went up solo again to practice ground reference maneuvers. I had a hard time doing those, as I was more interested in exploring my new found freedom! Kudos to the...

I've been on hiatus in my training since July. My father had some health issues,and then my wife had some issues as well. I still haven't yet soloed, because I'm having trouble with my landings. Is it normal to get somewhat scared when you see that big slab of asphalt coming up at you quickly...

Our chapter was planning on having the Young Eagles fly tomorrow; understandibly, it has been cancelled. http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articles/crash-48212-dead-plane.html :sigh:

I had my second flight with my new CFI today (I was originally scheduled for more, but they were cancelled due to weather). After I had preflighted the plane, I overheard someone saying she was leaving. So as I went back into the office to discuss our flight. I asked her if she was leaving...

It was a gorgeous, sunny day today, and I met up with my new CFI. Since I hadn't flown in about 9 months, we went over some basic aerodynamic stuff, and then she watched me preflight the plane. Went up, did some climbs, descents, turns, and power-on stalls. I actually kept the altitude...

Those who have read my initial post http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46903 know I'm resuming my flight training for my PP. The weather wasn't cooperating, so we just went over paperwork and talked. I told her some concerns I had. My last instructor would really never...

Greetings, everyone! I've been lurking here for awhile, so I decided it's finally time to introduce myself. I call myself Late Bloomer because it seems a lot of things I've done in life, I've started later than usual--joined the military late, got married late, finished college late, and now...
