    What are the disadvantages of going for a Sport Certificate?

    vs. a Private Pilot license? My ultimate goal, of course, would be the PPL, but after reading here about the show-stopping medical certificate, I'd hate to find out something in that process that stopped me cold from ever even taking lessons! My goal is fun, after all! So the real question is...

    Anybody use the Rod Machado Private Pilot workbook?

    OMG this book..

    That must be the most inappropriate use of fonts, capitalization, and underlining I've ever seen. Must have some great exhibits. People seem to like it, though, so I'm intrigued. Right now I'm looking at all the FAA stuff.
