    Instruction Visual Aids/Supplements

    Good morning! I am currently studying for the PPL written and was missing a lot of questions on the practice tests regarding airspace until I watched this video. I realize you are specifically talking about flight skills, but if you ever teach ground this helped me more than anything else...

    Gleim Customer Service Hooked Me Up!

    My subscription ran out earlier this year and I did not get a chance to sit for the exam so I made this post looking for some practice test recommendations: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/exams4pilots-question.127883/ I figured it would not hurt to call Gleim since I bought...

    Exams4pilots Question

    Thank you! I will check out the supplements and probably get the prep book too. All I'm wanting is to see what I have retained and what I need to review. I can always use the Gleim books for that section. My biggest fear is getting a bunch of EB6 XC questions on the real deal without...

    It is not popping up, but that could be a windows popup setting issue. I will check it out! Thank you!

    Exams4pilots Question

    Good evening everyone! I took the PPL online ground school with Gleim last year, but never got around to taking the real exam. I have all the books, took a bunch of practice exams and was doing well, got my cert. to take the real one, but never got around to doing the real thing. Now that...

    Free Private and Instrument Ground School

    Thank you!! Perfect timing for me! This past November-February, I took Gleim online ground school and took a bunch of practice tests, but never went to take the exam. Just got too busy with work. I got lucky and we did not slow down working from home. A few weeks ago, we went on a trip...

    Electronic or Manual

    I dont know anything about the electronic version, but my wheel one has a good amount of formulas on it that can help you out on the written.

    You are responsible for your training

    Maybe not, but if they truly desire to make a run at the majors, isnt a degree a requirement? Is 0 to CFI in 6 months common? I dont know for sure, but I would think there are many CFI's with some college.

    You are responsible for your training

    IMO, to get good, career CFI's to stick around, the pay structure has to be close to the median wage for the area the CFI wants to live and teach or they are just there to do their time and move on. School Teacher's in my area start around $40-$42K, have summers, weekends and holidays off...

    fsbo aircraft- has anyone used it?

    The boating industry has a few broker companies that do that but they mostly suck. Read the fine print. There are all kinds of fees with the boat sites and even if you end up selling it yourself they will try to get a commission. IMO, if it is in good condition and priced right, it will...

    Binge-Watching Airplane Repo

    BTW, there are a lot of FLight Show options if you have Amazon Prime. Not sure if any are worth watching but some are The Aviators, Ice Pilots, Chasing Planes just to name a few. I'm still prepping for the PPL written, so all my watching are instructionals on YouTube and I can watch my wife...

    Binge-Watching Airplane Repo

    I prefer watching "Ice Pilots" over that one.

    Should I take my knowledge test first before going to a flight school?

    That is what I am doing. Make sure you keep track of things that you dont quite get and your CFI will cover those in greater detail with some hands on training.

    What to do from here

    I would buy a C150 or 152 before a Cub. If you ever need to unload it quick, you should be able to get your money back out of it, plus other than the coolness of the Cub, which I think is awesome, it seems a lot more versatile. Hell, you could possibly lease it to a CFI or flight school if you...

    Rotting Planes. Sad.

    What a Shame. Makes this beginner sad. I wish they could be made into experimental aircraft. If it could be done what do you think about a rotax in the 152 and 172's? Could be great projects for a HS flying club maybe?

    Help Needed in Choosing Online Private Pilot Ground School

    Almost finished PPL Ground School with Gleim. Although it seems better than adequate, I will probably look at something else for my instrument. All the info you need is there, I just dont like the way it is layed out. I like the quality of the videos from MZeroA from the samples on YT. They...

    CC Flight Planning Questions

    Yeah, that is what was concerning me the most, the wrong answers I was coming up with were one of the available answers on the practice exams. Thanks for all the help everyone!

    CC Flight Planning Questions

    Yeah, mine has sectional chart on one side and terminal area chart with the two scales, SM & NM, on each side. You would think it would not make a difference because scaled distance is set, but I learned the first few times I did get better accuracy using the right scale, lol
