    Anxious: I even cancelled my flight lesson yesterday

    I am just going to leave what I noticed about your thinking process right here.... I am just beginning to go back to my pilot lessons after 7 years off and only 6 hours of time back then... But look at what you did... You analyzed a situation, realized you were stressed and in a bad frame of...

    Returning to flight instruction

    Ya know, I slept better that night after my flight than i have in a long time. I was exhausted but in a good way. Flying relaxes me. I look forward to more of it.

    Returning to flight instruction

    Well, This thread is a few weeks old by I thought I would update anyway. I got to go up this past Sunday for 1.2 hours. We reviewed most of my 7 hours of training from 8 years ago with the exception of stalls. Since my last training had been in a Zodiac 601 I had to get familiar with C172 on the...

    Returning to flight instruction

    hi everyone. I had about 18 hours of flight instruction and had to stop back in 2007. I am now ready to start back and would like input on new study materials and videos etc.. Do you guys have any favorites? I used jeppesen back in 07 but am thinking that some videos would be good to use as...

    I hate this town so much (N/A)

    Something about this statement does not seem right to me... I have been making my insurance company whole since I started paying my premiums.. I am sure you are right, they will go after him.

    Finding the right AME

    How would one go about finding the experienced AME? Should I just call and ask to speak to the AMEs around the area? Dr. Bruce, can you make any specific recommendations? And also thanks for getting me in touch with Allen! Thanks Tommy

    Beta Blocker alternative

    I have been on a beta blocker, propranolol, to keep my heart rate down. I would like to get my PPL and I am an Insulin Dependent diabetic. I use the Infusion pump to make things much simpler and easier to manage my sugar levels. I understand that the FAA does not allow PPL issuances for insulin...

    F4 vs Concrete Wall

    This was clearly a case of the use of an "ACME portable hole" that was just too small for the plane to make it all the way through...

    Finding the right AME

    I was asking because I want to go in for a consultation to find out if I can pass the medical before even really applying. There is one local AME who is not a pilot. The next one would be about 1.5 hour drive...No big deal really, but it is a question I am trying to sort out.

    hmm... guess I won't be flying anymore

    Some of you may know, but I am in the very early stages of training. I was watching the King Schools DVDs just last night and they mentioned specifically in the video that high wing nose wheel planes are THE most susceptible to quartering tail winds especially IF the controls are not set...

    Finding the right AME

    Would you guys think it better to go to an AME that is a current pilot or not? Would you think it would make a difference?

    Agreed. NIS is not what it should be.

    Anti-Virus software

    It seems as thought the problem lays SAV and Exchange. We do not use Exchange and have been actively staying away from it due to the extra costs involved with ongoing licensing and support for that product. That aside, we do have an extensive test lab setup for any new software version that need...

    Anti-Virus software

    Let me elaborate...Being the senior network admin for a 45,000+ node network that spans an entire state, we have all sorts of systems out in the field and everyone of them use SAV and we have next to zero ill effects from the clients on workstations and servers. Granted, this is the corporate...

    Anti-Virus software

    I just do not understand.. I have been running Norton for at least 12 years and have not had the first problem with it whatsoever. Do any of you guys build your own systems? granted, I will not use the Norton security stuff...just the standalone anti-virus with malware protection..For a...

    New Student / headset

    We are all starting to get on the same page now. I asked for opinions and I have received a plethora of them. Which is exactly what I wanted. I do not anticipate being in the craft for hours on end initially and I am certainly willing to upgrade later should the need arise. So, that said I am...
