I paid $700 for my ppl checkride 2 weeks ago. He was doing 3 per day. I think i have a new dream job.

I just got my ppl a couple of days ago. At that time I had 64 hrs and 218 landings. I really enjoy just flying the pattern and doing landings. The biggest thing is to work on nailing the airspeed. I make sure that at the threshold im pitching for 80 (c172), midway through base im around 70...

Wrapped up the flying portion of my checkride today! It was quite windy as a cold front moved through but was able to stay within my personal minimums. Completed the practical and passed! Im a real pilot now! So excited!

Had my checkride today. Passed the oral but found a mechanical issue with the plane so discontinued until it can be fixed. 1/2 done and got through the hard part. Looking forward in getting the plane fixed and completing the practical.

i am hoping that is the case for me. i have been hitting the books, notes, and study guides as much as possible. been flying a couple days a week. i actually took the week off work prior to my checkride to make sure im good to go.

Scheduled my checkride for aug 26. Im nervous and excited.

I completely agree. I hope that it comes back pretty quick but i know that i will be rusty and feel like im starting at the beginning.

It has been a few months since i have last flown. Actually almost six months. Between work and other responsibilities- i have not had the time to get on the schedule. I was able to book this thursday and friday for a couple hours each day. Looking forward to knocking the rust off, get current...

Finished all my requirements; now just need to schedule the checkride. Work is chaotic right now so might schedule around end of year. Been doing solo flights and practicing. Trying to study for oral (thats what im most fearful of). Hope to finish this phase soon.

Is it bad that my medical will expire before i do my checkride? I will get it renewed before but it was eye opening at how slow my process has been.

I havnt been able to fly for about 2 months due to work and weather- but i just scheduled my night cross country! I will get my last two needed night landings done. Then i need 2 more hours solo time and then its all check ride prep. Been studying for the oral (but im so nervous about it). I...

Congrats!

Finally did some night flying! I loved it so much! Its amazing how dark it gets out there. I got 8 takeoffs and full stop landings. A couple were smooth but a couple i had to fight the illusion of being too low and had to fight the urge to gain altitude. Next up is my night cross country and...

Still needing to complete my night stuff but i have been working on checkride prep. Studying for the oral and working on getting my maneuvers well within specs. Weather has sucked and work has been busy but hope to get this stuff wrapped up this year.

Finished my hood work today! Done with those stylish foggles! Now to shedule the night flights. Im kinda nervous about it but looking forward to it at the same time. Not sure what to expect.

i have 1 hr hood and my night flights (10 t/o and landings, 3 hrs flight, and xc) left.

passed written! now thats done and on to the next!

Wrapped up my solo cross country requirement. Got some foggle time today. I just need 1 hr to complete that requirement. scheduled my written exam for Thursday morning... i guess i will do some studying between now and then lol. Im averaging 90’s on my practice tests and i feel ready just...

Completed my solo long cross country today! Perfectly clear skies and light breeze. I was anxious before getting to the airport but when i got started doing the preflight i relaxed a bit. Once the engine fired up i was good to go and ready to get it going. My first stop into a charlie- got...

Finally got my dual long xc completed! The winds were fun to deal with and the ceilings were lower than forecasted but its done and im ready to do it solo! Thats been the longest i have piloted the airplane so far! Fingers crossed that saturdays forecast stays clear!
