    What should I ask this flight school?

    Agreed, to a point, but having THEM come to you to do interviews and set up talks is more convenient. btw, I'm a student, not a CFI, so my viewpoint is from the outside looking in.

    Most difficult landing

    that's impressive...and the video is superb. Infinitely beyond my skills at this stage, though.

    What should I ask this flight school?

    These were all excellent questions. I'd ask, if it's important to you, what other avenues of career progression do they offer? My flight school feeds numerous regionals and cargo outfits in the area and it seems they are always talking to someone new to provide another pipeline.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    1 step forward, 2 steps back :( Had to scratch that XC the following Sunday, I don't remember why, they are all piling together. Went on the long Solo XC today. Weather looked like it should hold. Had a lot of obstacles working against me though. Got to the flight school at 7am, went over...

    The pilot mentioned that it takes more rudder than I’d be used to, and it did. And we flew it with right aileron in to hold level as well. Also, forward/aft yoke was very sensitive. You just think about moving it and the nose would move up/down. Takes some concentration. Sent from my iPad...

    Ford Trimotor

    Was in town this past weekend. Stopped by Sunday for a look and a ride in it. Imagine my sheer joy when they said “right seat is available if you want it”. Um, heck yes! Even though it’s more $, I’m not passing that up. Best part, they said they pilot would likely let me take the controls for a...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Had to scratch my long XC solo yesterday. Plane I was scheduled in was down due to transponder going out. They put me in another plane, but it's one I've had bad luck in and won't fly (at least not solo). So 2 planes left. Scheduled me for another plane and hour earlier, so good to go. Get to...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Had to scrap my long solo XC today, winds are picking up. I tried to go up and go to the practice area, then return for a couple of landings. Took off and the winds were already increasing, so did one lap in the pattern and called it. Didn't help that they were using runway 8 and the wind was...
