Well here is the latest update. Absolutely nothing unfortunately. The holidays made it difficult to find time for my medical so I haven't done that yet. I think I should still be ok for time since I put the info into the FAA med xpress system. On a side note, I had a stock tip that I had...

Thanks for the info Mitch. I will check out Davis too.

Thanks. I ued to be in Rocklin but now I'm in Loomis. I've looked at Mach 5 and they seem really good but priced a little higher. Is the difference at Davis enough to warrant driving the extra distance. Right now, I'm planning on using Executive flyers because they seem to have the lowest rates.

I got your message. Thanks for the info but you're right, thats a little too far. Maybe we'll see each other in the skies when I get my license.

Stupid iPhone tiny screen! I can see that you have some art on the tail but I can't make it out. The yorkie looks almost as cute as my 2 "puppies." A 45 pound Heinz 57 everything mix and a 125 Anatolian Rottweiler mix.

Thanks for the info Jose. I will add that to my list of questions to ask when meeting with my prospective flight school.

I didn't really make it clear and obviously, I don't know the whole process. Do you pay the CFI every time you are building time doing solo? Or would it be more likely that you fly a couple hours solo then an hour with your CFI?

Got it. That makes sense.

Can you post a better pic of your plane?

I only understood about half of that. PP certificate is Private Pilot certificate, I'm assuming. Is that different than license? I thought that after you do your solo, you do some solo time to get to your 40 hours. Is that not right? I thought I saw a post about somebody splitting time...

I wish I could do more but that is all the budget will allow. After my first solo, I should be able to do a little bit more per week to build time because I will only have to pay rental, not instructor training for each flight. I am also hoping to split time with another student to build time at...

Just turned 34.

If you don't mind me asking, which school did you use? I'm just outside of Sacramento in Loomis. I am scheduling my discovery flight for January.

Yep. Gunbroker. Check out the general discussions forum. They were getting so much spam that you have to register on the auction side first. I use the same screen name there.

Yep. I'm prepared. I found a place that has a little bit lower rates (mainly rental rates that are lower). If I like them when I do my discovery flight, thats who I'll use. Their rental rates are about $40 less per hour.

I'm in the Sacramento area. I am probably going to use a flight school in Sacramento. After that, I'll probably fly out of Lincoln, CA or Auburn, CA.

Thanks. I already know I love it since I went to an Air Force base when I was little because my brother was working on the aviation merit badge. They took us up in a 4 seater. It was the first time I had even flown. The reason for waiting is budget. I'll be able to allocate money towards...

A week or two makes a difference on the bank balance though. ;)

Thanks for all the advice. I am not new to forums, just this on. I have over 12K posts on gunbroker so I know FNG. ;) One of these days, I'll add a link to my signature for the thread that I started to track my progress on the path to PPL. Right now, I've submitted my info to medxpress...

Thanks. I bookmarked that.
