Agreed but trying to save $$ :). That's why I want to do my flight-review in a 172 instead of getting the flight-review done on a 152 and then go get training on a 172.

Thanks guys! Yes I will look into my medicals as well. Another question..with regards to working towards my commercial. Can I log all the needed X-country hours on the 152 and just few on the 172? I am trying to find some wording on what is needed for the commercial. Technically I need to have...

Hi All, I got my private license back in 2014 and my license has expired. Not been able to fly as well. I am planning on getting my flight review done and maybe log some hours towards CPL. Is it possible to get the flight review done on a 172 when my flying experience (95 hrs) has been on a 152 ?

During my flight training for my PPL, one of my cross-country flight was from KSGJ to KGNV. I usually plan to fly at 4500 but once I got up the ceiling was probably around 3000. So the flight was completed at 2500 and times at 2200 with flight following. No bad weather as such but clouds built...

Congrats Pilot :) !. I got mine after about 95 hours in a span of 7 years with breaks in between. Doesn't it feel great?

Congrats Captain! 7500 - Hi Jack! 7600 - Can't talk right now 7700 - Going down

I thought of taking him out to eat but due to work and time conflicts, it was not possible for me. I figured it will be good for him as well to just take his family out. But yes taking an instructor out to eat is a great idea, this is probably what I will do when I start working on my IFR but...

Jim thanks for the tip. I just felt my instructor did a great job of teaching me and prepping me for the check-ride and was very patient as well. I gave this gift ONLY after I got my check-ride, so it was never a bribe or anything of that sort.

Never ever again do this pre-paid business. Most of these pre-paid and "get your PPL in 2 weeks" is a scam. First try speaking to the owner and show her the written document you have stating about the refund within 12 months. Second write to her and cc the Attorney General of your state...

I got my Private Pilot license 3 weeks back with 89 hours. Thinking about studying IFR but going to take it slow for now.

Thanks for the suggestions; I gave my instructor a restaurant gift card; hope he likes it :) nosehair --> seriously you need to cool your engines!

I would like to give a gift certificate for my instructor but honestly don't know which restaurants he likes. I have an idea of where he does his grocery, is a grocery gift card a bad gift to give an instructor?

Hi there..I just got my PPL couple of weeks back and thinking of checking out the 172, how hard is it to move from 152 to 172? Somebody said that for 172 G1000, we need 5 hours to check out. Is this correct? I was thinking it will be a good idea to checkout 172 G and work on instrument rating...

I had to discontinue my training as well from 2007 due to financial reasons and my hours did count. I agree with the re-training but please find someone else for your training, sounds like someone wants to just build time at your expense.

65- 70 KTS is high like others have mentioned here. During my check ride 2 weeks back I was landing at 62 and my Examiner said that it is way fast and that I need to land it with a slight stall warning sound when about to touch down. I was able to do this after the "fast" landing I did but the...

Congrats!!

Congrats! now the fun begins with X Country :).

Thank you and yes it is a great feeling. It took me a while to sink in that I can fly now.
