    Becoming an ag pilot.

    Visited this place when I was looking for a CFI for my private cert. It didn't work out with my schedule, but if I was a young man wanting to make a career in Ag Aviation I would take a hard look at this school. http://www.rigginflightservice.com/classes/

    Weekly flying

    I found initially that consecutive lessons was too much overload for me. I preferred 1-2 lessons a week, early in my training. This gave me plenty of time to absorb what I had just learned. I record all my lessons with a GoPro and can review them later. I also use a simulator and did a lot of...

    PPL and Western NC Weather

    Do a lot of chair flying and/or get a simulator. I use the simulator primarily to do check lists and procedures while flying. Run up checklist, take off checklist, cruise checklist, approach checklist, etc...etc. I fly the pattern and replicate the same procedures as if I was actually flying. I...

    Took me two months for find a CFI

    Curious if I would be able to go there for a week or 2 to finish up my Private? I'm currently "in between" CFI's. I've got 22 hours of dual instruction and am in a hold for a couple months to try and build my cash reserve back up. Might have to give them a call in March.

    Student Pilot License held up because of Government shutdown?

    Check in a couple days and see if there is a temporary certificate that you can print. Should be under certificate type on your IACRA console. My temporary showed up several days after my application was submitted. Hard copy takes over 6 weeks to arrive (prior to the shutdown anyway) from what I...

    Written Scheduling

    Just took my test last Friday at a test center. They weren't sure it would go through with the shutdown. Logged on and had no problem. I did register with PSI prior to the shutdown though.

    Training in advance?

    When you complete the practice exams on the "King School Course" you receive CFI endorsement from John King.

    Training in advance?

    My original plan was to 1) Get my class III medical "done". 2) Do ground school online and take the written (almost ready for the test). 3) Start flight instruction. I feel I'll be ready to test in a few weeks, so I'm probably going to get started on flight instruction. As several people stated...

    Training in advance?

    Hi Eli, I'm located in NW Iowa and back in September, decided I wanted to get a Sport Pilot License also. Looking around at the cost and after speaking to the local airport manager (he's a Sport Pilot Instructor), I decided to go the private pilot route. A little more cost but I realized that if...
