Hi all, I live in Israel and it's one of my goals to get a PPL, preferably in an intensive course in the USA. Partly for the experience, partly for the lower cost. Due to the timing of the Jewish holidays, I'm usually only able to take a good chunk of vacation time around September-October most...

So my training has been going great. Until we got to the dreaded (I must admit) power-on stall. "Pull back more", my instructor says over and over, until suddenly he's telling me to "get the nose down", and we're all over the place, veering right, and a couple of times he's taken controls...

I thought I was doing well, but... See this VOR The question: The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What radial is the aircraft crossing? I naively thought 210, because I thought if the needle is centred, that I must be on the radial marked with the OBS (210 in this case). But...

Or more fully, the "Computer Testing Supplement for Recreational Pilot and Private Pilot"? I'm doing Gleim 141 Ground School, and in Chapter 9 (Navigation: Charts and Publications), section 9.6 (A/FDs), they reproduce most FAA legends from Appendix 1 of the supplement, it's like 10 pages of...

As per title really. I read a lot of people saying enthusiastic students like me buy kneeboards then they don't get used. I've also read on a 150 they can get in the way when it's time to flare. ;) I'm not getting into smartphones / tablets because as a new student I'll have to learn to do...

So hopefully in 12 days I'll be landing in FL to commence PPL learning with Tailwinds Etc. A paper logbook is provided, but knowing myself as a tech geek, I'll want to use an online service for my logbook for now and onwards... :) I know that Apple dominate the aviation app market, but I'm...

Tailwheels Etc, Lakeland, FL - opinions for PPL? As you'll see in my first thread USA PPL costs - looking for a no-frills school, I've been round the houses looking for the right school. Eventually Jim at Arizona Aero-Tech (great guy, but they don't issue I-20s) recommended me to Tailwinds...

Hi all, first post. :) Like all of you I guess, it's my dream to obtain a PPL. Here in Israel, it costs on average 75,000 shekels (around $20,000). Like many people, I want to do it in the USA where I understand it's more cost-effective due to competition and lower costs. This year, the...
