    CPL Written Disappointing Score

    My CPL written received a passing score, but not with flying colors, see below. The learning objectives were clear for both PPL and IFR Rating, but I found CPL to be a bit more ambiguous. Wasn't 100% clear on the topics that would get more detailed vs new ones added. I think I was a little...

    Light Sport CFI (CFIS)

    I've got a few questions on this, so please chime in if you have experience or knowledge on this one. I recently purchased a Quad City Challenger II, experimental E-LSA. Looks like the FAA is and has issued several Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) on these, so instructing becomes...

    Logging Cross Country Time for 50hr CC IFR Requirement

    Thanks. The reason I ask is Im switching to an electronic logbook, and don't see the value in even logging the dual CC as a student PPL in the cross country column. This muddies up that column and could make it look fictitiously higher than it really is.

    Logging Cross Country Time for 50hr CC IFR Requirement

    Tried searching the web for this and didn't find what Im looking for. Im totaling up my cross county hours and curious about the few cross country hours I took with my CFI as a student for my PPL. Since I was a student receiving dual instruction I assume my cross country time does not count...

    Strong Gusty Headwind + Me = Too Much Float - HOW TO IMPROVE?

    The other day I was landing with winds straight up the runway 18G25kts flying a Cessna 172. Went to flare and floated quite a bit, much longer than I would have liked and struggled to prevent her from ballooning up. The landing ended smoothly, but I would like to know what I should have done...

    Interested in Starting an Airpark - SE WI

    In yet another one of my entrepreneurial quests I've decided to take the airpark building concept a little more serious. I've met with a few folks at Sun N' Fun, Airventure, AOPA events, etc. Good conversations and seems like this process can be very ambiguous. I'm a little nervous about...

    Thank you everyone for the input. I agree with keeping the day job and pursuing CFI part time and seeing where it leads me. Makes the most sense for a multitude of reasons. Now I focus on my upcoming Private Pilot check ride and then diving into IFR training. Thanks again, very...
