Thanks a bunch! ESA1178

I will not be venturing towards an instrument license at this time ESA1178

Thanks for your reply jimbilly My instructor is an owner operator. So he tends to over instruct and allows soloing when he is absolutely sure the student is ready. You can understand his due diligence since his is a self employed going concern, and he owns his only LSA. My Instructor is also A...

Hello I am 75 hours into the LSA... I had started my flight lessons in '88 but because of life interruptions my lessons were always postponed. During 9 of the past 12 months I have acquired 50 hours of LSA instruction... 3 months were inactive because of a broken wrist. I am about to start...

A a little too far for me to go to 2-3 times a week Mark

Thats great to hear! Even though I am going back to school on monday for my PPL and instrument, I hope to be flying the Light Sport often @ http://www.californiasportaviation.com/. Since there was such a gap in my training and I have 30 hours, I had considered just taking these hours to Light...

Are single engine retractables going the way of the DODO and VHS BETA ? Seems as though none of the schools in Northern California have them... Mark

Can I fly Light Sport Aircraft with a PPL? Mark

Hi Kristin. At what point during the lessons do you suggest I make the transition to a retractable? Mark

Oh I know the refueling steps.. Have 30 hours already in the C172. Just saying that its a little easier to attend to the wing if you are alot taller than my 4"11" Mother :) Mark

My Wife is a Physics Teacher and is blessed with an analytical mind. So I am hoping to woo her into flight lessons and joining the 99's. She will be a whiz at flight planning and fuel/payload calculations. And I am more of a hands on/listen to the aircraft kind of pilot... So a great marriage...

So many responses! Thanks a bunch... I am almost 6 feet so high wing refuel isnt the issue. It gets very hot here in Sacramento, around 90-100. And even though there is minimal humidity, unless you have an early morning lesson, the AC is going to be an oven if its been sitting on the apron all...

Apart from the obvious high wing, low wing difference what does each aircraft lead above the other? I'd like to hear from both C172 & Warrior pilots... Mark

Suggestions on a Twin for a beginner? Mark

That's to plan to go into co ownership of a twin down the road.... I'm approaching 56 and our only child is going to college in '18. So looking forward to taking some nice trips with the missus. Trying to get her to join the 99s... Mark

As stated in my post: First Contact I am returning to flight lessons since 2007. My goal is to acquire my PPL by July '15 (Already have 32 hours). Instrument rating by Xmas '15 & Multi Engine by July '16. My time is my own And I plan on taking 2 lessons a week. My question is: is this...

First contact Just saying hi as a new forum member. I took my first lesson in 1988 and because of many life Interruptions, I have only managed to rack up 30 hours between 1988 & 2007. I finally reestablished my registration With the TSA/FAA and just got my medical certificate. My plan is to...
