About to take my written test. I have used the King program. All is well I’m scoring high 80’s low 90’s on all practice tests. However I have a question. Has anyone experienced incorrect answers on the actual test or ground school software? I have found two instances with VOR questions...

I am starting training Feb 6th. My school has me set up to train in a G1000 172. My plan has always been to purchase a Cirrus SR20 after PPL is finished and start my IFR training. When my skills are ready move to the 22. I spoke with an another school today that focuses on Cirrus...

Here is my timeline from first AME contact until being issued on on 10/25/22. My case moved at lightening speed after they received my last packet of information. Hope this helps someone. Condition triggering deferral was closed head injury in 2012 Pre exam meeting with AME 8/9/21 gathered...

How quickly can I expect my FAA medical file to be sent to the Neuro Cog examiner?

The FAA has asked for a MRI of my brain due to a head injury many years ago. That in itself is simple enough, however that same injury left me with a neuro stimulator in my back to treat back pain. It works very well but it’s obviously constructed with some type of metal. I’m pretty sure MRI...

According to local news 6 were killed. Apparently it’s a Vietnam era Huey that was used for tourism flights. Sad…. RIP https://www.wsaz.com/2022/06/22/crews-scene-helicopter-crash-southern-wva/

I’m still in training, when I get my PPL my plan will be to start out in a Cirrus SR20 and keep that until my IFR is complete. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations as far as insurance companies. Thanks

After being deferred I got the letter asking for additional information. I sent all that in and now I wait. I sent everything they requested. Can I expect that a decision will be made from that information or should I expect another request for additional information. I guess I’m asking do...

I got my letter from the FAA asking for additional information. This was expected and I have everything they have requested. My question is do I need to put my application number on each page? It’s close to 1000 pages. Also what is the best way to present it? Currently everything is in...

Is there an online portal to check the status of my application or does it require a phone call?

When I complete my med express and visit my AME. At what point is the point of no return. I’m assuming I will get a number from med express when complete, can the AME see my form without activating it?

I will be taking the written exam very soon. I have a question about cross country questions. On my ground school software(King) the NM chart scale does not match the scale on my plotter. That easy enough to overcome with a few adjustments but can I expect the same thing on the test? I read...

No injuries and apparently no damage.

wondering.

Getting ready to apply for class 3. I understand I will need my sleep apnea compliance records for the last year. Pre-covid I would take my SD card to the Dr they downloaded it and checked for compliance for the insurance company (no cell service in my area for the built in modem). After...

Med Express asks the have you ever questions. We are all terrified to answer honestly but even more terrified not to! With that being said if you omit medical details and get caught due to an incident, you get nailed to some degree. But if a person has those same ailments and flies as a sport...

If I complete med express and then meet with the AME and he sees something he says may not fly can he simply not send it on and stop the process or am I doomed once I sign off on it and send it?

Just wondering about something. I have read a lot of posts where Cirrus pilots are the punchline to some sort of joke. I’m just wondering why? can someone please let me in on the joke! Are they viewed as the BMW driver with the flipped up collar? Are they viewed as the redneck with the plane...
