    Charter Options--GA to NC

    All--I'm looking for piston charter options for a flight from Georgia to NC. Whenever I search online, it seems all I get are jet companies. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Flat Tire on Landing

    The tires were fine on the preflight. I guess all the soft/short field landings finally wore it down!

    Flat Tire on Landing

    Pretty scary landing today. I spent today practicing short/soft field landings with my instructor in a C172. After we were done he sends me off solo as I still need a few solo hours before I can take the practical. After being sent off solo, the first landing was fine and then the second...

    A frustrated PPL student

    I understand your frustrations as I have shared many of them. I am a 31 year old student pilot that start training last year. I am based out of a Maryland airport in the SFRA. First, I wouldn't put too much stock in the numbers of hours. You'll probably find a lot of folks that want to...

    First Solo in the Books!

    First Solo in the Books!

    All-- I had my first solo flight today. It's been a long while in the making because of my initial deferred medical (thanks to Dr. Bruce for getting that cleared up!). But, finally today, I went up with my instructor did a couple of normal landings and one simulated engine out landing...

    Many Thanks to Dr. Chien

    After getting an unwelcome surprise during my flight physical last year (I made the mistake of going in without consulting in advance :mad2:) I went down a long road of trying to get the FAA what they wanted to get me a student certificate/3rd class medical. About a month ago I discovered...
