Bump Update 3-28-22 So I went to my new S-AME based in Atlantic City to upgrade my Special Issuance 3rd Class to a 1st Class medical because I now hold my Commercial Certificate and may want to pursue the 121 world. I met with him and provided him all the documents OKC provided me. He said...

Hey everyone! Today I nailed all my landings normal, short, soft, and power off 180 from the right. I realized I was looking across to the spinner of the cowling instead of straight ahead. As soon as I did that my landings went back to normal!

When you put it that way….. now I don’t feel so bad haha

trust me… I’m puzzled as well. How can a mere 3 feet affect my landings so much that I’m sideloading it. Manuevers really no problem but something about the sight picture is messing me up. I do agree I think with a few more hours I’ll get used to it.

I’m right eye dominant

First I’d demonstrate it properly so they could attain what was right. Then I’d have them control the rudder while I controlled the aileron in a low approach. I’d talk them through it as we conducted the approach, more right rudder, less right rudder. Then I’d have them begin to try to put it together.

Hey all, so I have begun my CFI training and I adapted quite quickly to flying and doing the maneuvers in the air without much issue but my landings have been abysmal. Today I was sideloading the right side and had too much right rudder then this afternoon the opposite and too much left. I...

Update: Met with my Senior AME gave authorization letter and all. He said he has to send it to OKC because it only allows renewal of a Third Class not an upgrade to First Class. Just got my Commerical Pilot certificate and have my CFI and I-I checkride first weekend in March. Luckily a Third...

Does this also apply if I’m looking to upgrade from a Class 3 to a Class 1?

Hey everyone! So figured I’d get a gauge on everyone here who went through these exams already. As a background I already hold my AGI/IGI, and Private Instrument ratings. I have another 25 hours to bang out before I qualify for the Commercial checkride but I wanted to get a gauge of what...

@AggieMike88 Did the remaining 30 hours in a week. Took a week break, then took my checkride today. Examiner said it was one of the best IFR Checkrides he has ever conducted. I now hold my instrument rating

Not an official program just took the week off work and am flying everyday to finish my 30 hours with my CFI-I, already got a 97 on the written. I’ll keep ya up to date!

UPDATE 9/8/21 After 4 calls to OKC and 2 supervisor escalations I was told today my medical was renewed and it’s being mailed out today. I also got it via secured email. Terms: Class 3 medical expires aug 31 2022 AUTHORIZATION expires aug 31 2024 next week I’m doing an accelerated instrument...

Eventually want to fly for hire so I'll need a Class 2 anyway but for the time being Basic Med does everything I need, just won't let it lapse because I don't want to restart the entire process again.

2021 Renewal Status Update: Called the FAA Twice as my medical Expires end of August inquiring status. Representatives I've spoken to have escalated it as they do not know why there is a delay. Currently have basic med to bridge the gap in case my renewal is late or runs into issues.

From what it reads they still want prior to 60 days before expiration of the certificate a letter from my Neurologist sent to OKC. However being that the authorization is extended this means, according to you, that an AME can issue me a medical until 2023 or whenever the FAA re-extends it. Would...

Going well, Got my Private A year ago (Took me 4 months) right after i got my SI. Then I got my Complex/HP endorsement in a R182. Then got my AGI/IGI. Been doing a bunch of XC work so according to my logbook I have 51 hours PIC XC so when I start Instrument training I'll 100% do it under Part 61

Bump - Received my Reissuance today via EMAIL from the FAA (Probably because of COVID?). Looks like they are starting to trust me a bit. Still only valid 1 year until August 2021, but the AUTHORIZATION is valid until August 2023. I believe 2023, my 5 years is up for my medical exam from my AME...

I didn't call this time for FF - So I wouldn't have gotten a code anyway. Regardless - Seemed like the controller was cool and just a gentle reminder.. hey Class C is above you.

Funnily enough, I operate in the NY Class Bravo all the time, Skyline Route, Transitions over JFK, transitions over EWR, I know that airspace by heart and I'm so cautious. This airport admittedly I have not been exposed to enough and I should have reviewed the airspace a little closer. The one...
