Pretty cool to hear others in the tower getting involved to help as well. Another thing that is crazy is after that, the same controller just keeps right on directing other traffic. Amazing

Love the videos. Could you show perhaps on one of the videos what your AoA indicator is showing on the dash? That would be fascinating, especially on some takeoffs where your stall horn is blaring intermittently the whole time! Thanks!

Sweet. Thanks for checking in that. I appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whew- glad I'm not crazy. I was seeing that as well. Guess I will do the practice tests that come with Gold Seal, and then do the Sporty's free one a few times and then let'er rip!

When I google for Sheppard's method, they just refer you to join the AOPA as a student, and then to Sporty's private pilot practice test.

Good to hear on Gold Seal. I'm almost done with the practical lessons (WB, flight planning, etc) and then on to the practice questions.

Thanks all. I appreciate it. Pretty excited to go ahead soon and knock out the knowledge test at the end of the month and have the AME appointment end of next week. Then I should be ready to actually get off the ground.

Do I need to print that out and take it with me, or do they provide that at the testing site?

Hi all, I am nearing completion of my online ground school in prep for the PPL written. I see in a few lessons we are going to cover the E6B flight computer for flight planning, and I was curious. It said you can get flight computer apps on your phone. Are you allowed to use those in the...

what about all the towers?

Idahoflier- I am not old, but I'm not the young anymore! And I just had a physical in December where the doc said I was in great health. But when you start reading all of these questions prefaced with "HAVE YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE" you start thinking down a bunch of different tangents. Like, 2...

Thanks all. I will check out the users' guide for sure. Mike- great write up, and I appreciate the advice.

I'm in northern burbs in Atlanta. I'm on the FAA website. Some of these AME's are listed as First Class. Does that mean they only do first class exams, or can they also scale back to do third class? I'd not heard of the Consulting physical yet. I just passed my latest regular physical with...

Just find one off the FAA site, and make the appointment? Or do I need to have already passed TSA and Homeland security before i go to the doc? Thanks

Hey all, I'm back trying to see if I can get going on training. I'd like to take another "discovery" type flight to see if nerves subside, but in the meant time- I'm starting smaller inexpensive steps that I can knock out. Worst case is I have a ton of interesting knowledge and only out a few...

I didn't make it after all. I had a 2nd discovery flight a week ago that spooked me a little and I've pulled back a little bit. I was a little embarrassed considering how hard I had been charging on these boards- so I decided not to go. I should have sent you a private message through the site...

That's probably the best "equation" way to sum it up that I've heard. Thanks. I posted something similar to the OP a while back- and while maybe a touch less severe than OP- all of this is valuable to me as well. So- thanks!

Thanks DP- that sums it up pretty well. I'm hoping that the next discovery flight will definitely answer the "Who do I want to be" question. To translate the interest and desires I've got on the ground into tangible stuff in the air. If so, then I'll likely do it. Being proficient is a big...
