    FAA Medical Exam for PPL

    I was reading over this thread on starting training and there was a discussion about medical exam complications. I never considered that there would be a problem if you were in relatively good health. However, it sounds like the common advice is to go to your primary, tell them that you're...

    I'm in the early stages of getting a PPL (I visited a local FBO, met some CFIs, took an intro flight) and have a question about Part 61 vs Part 141 training. As I understand it, Part 61 are the standards used when someone wants to work with a CFI who's not associated with a training school...
