I'm now a Private Pilot! I did my check ride yesterday morning. :goofy:The oral was much easier than I was preparing for, but still glad I did all that studying. By the time we got to the flying part I was confident because of all the practice the week before in strong winds and the winds were...

I have my PPL checkride next week. I flew every day this past week and have a mock checkride and another lesson next week before the big day. I'm fine with the flying part but am worrying more about the oral. I can't seem to find an effective way to study. I bought the ASA Private Oral Exam...

I did my first solo XC yesterday to KPOU! Definitely more nerve wracking than soloing in the pattern or to practice areas, but I didn't get lost going there or back so felt good about that. I was exhausted afterwards, I can't imagine how exhausted I'll be after my long XC. Now prepping to do my...

So I did my first set of Touch and Gos today and first time to work on my landings. It was definitely an intense experience just because I was 1/2 working the radio, learning the pattern and landing plus there was a marginal crosswind and haze was starting to form, also just because everyone...

I'm just curious how many people used those programs like King or Sporty's for their ground training and how many people just worked with a CFI? Did some people do both?

I just started my flight training. I've been thinking about it for months but wanted to do research on schools and prices, find the time in my schedule and convince my regional airline pilot boyfriend it's not a complete waste of money. He convinced me that I should do my Sport instead of PPL...
