I just got my PPL less than two months ago... so a low time pilot. I am looking to start IFR training after the New Year and would rather buy an airplane prior to starting. I know the costs will be higher but that's not the issue.. I'm prepared for the cost. The real question is that I've flown...

Crazy day... FAA decided to ride along with examiner, so not only do I get a checkride I also get the FAA in the back of the C172... Talk about nervous... but I passed! Thank you PoA users for the answers/opinions to some pretty dumb questions I've posted out here the last year. Now it's time to...

After over a year of on again/off again training my Instructor filled out and endorsed my logbook for my checkride. He told me to go online and fill out form 8710 on the FAA site and record the code# when I was done. I found the pdf versions of the form where you fill it out and mail it in but I...

Well it's been awhile since I posted anything but I do troll this site a lot... Has anyone ran into this experience? I've been cleared for solo for almost 4 months and actually logged a few 100 milers but for the last 3 months every dang plane at my FBO has been grounded for one reason or...

Well I passed my written today.... The bad part is I only got an 82. Hopefully that won't haunt me on my check ride. Too late now, guess I have to make the best of it.

I've been doing touch and go's for the last couple of lessons and today my CFI had me taxi to our FBO and told me to stay in the plane. Did my official first 3 full stop landings and got my logbook endorsed. I know not a big deal for a lot of people on this board but very excited! Now on to...

I am close to finally getting my first solo and the inevitable question came up between me and my CFI about what my mission and plane would be in the future. My training has taken longer than most (probably) and I changed CFI's part way through due to some great advice right here on PoA. Due...

Second thread I started and unfortunately same common theme in asking for advice. I started beginning of August and have spent nearly $2k in lessons. My log book was filling up second page and I thought I was doing good. I then started to add up the totals page and noticed I have only 7.1 hours...

I started my training in PPL 1st week of August. Due to crazy weather here in the Southeast I've only been up 5 times.. 6 this Sunday if the weather holds true. So far just the basic stuff, like descending/ascending turns, elevation changes, flying on course... etc. I know there is no "typical"...
