    How to "scratch that itch"

    Background... About two years ago, I started my life long dream of getting my PPL. Work, family, and a little procrastination made it take a little longer than it really should. But, I was probably within a couple of months of going for my check ride. Almost a year ago, I got fired from my...

    Basic Basic Med question

    I did my Basic Med physical exam. I did the online Basic Med course. I have print outs and e-copies of both documents. I just want to confirm I don't need to upload anything anywhere (to the FAA?), I just keep the documents with my logbook? I assume the electronic copies fulfill FAR 61.3(c)(1)?

    Another BasicMed question (following SI)

    So I got my SI, so I currently hold a 3rd class medical. In order to avoid hassles with keeping the 3rd class (because of the SI), I'm looking into BasicMed. One of the questions on the self assessment is whether you've ever been denied a medical cert. I'm assuming my proper answer would be...

    Special Issuance questions

    After months of waiting, I finally got my 3rd Class Special Issuance. At issue was diabetes (discovered during my medical exam) and sleep apnea (disclosed on the form before my exam). But I have questions about what I'm supposed to do next. The certificate has the restriction "Not valid for...

    How to check status of denial appeal

    Back in July I went for my 3rd class exam. It was discovered I was diabetic. A couple of weeks later, I get the denial letter from the FAA and an address to appeal the denial. In between those dates, I had gone to the doctor, gotten on medication and started eating better. I got a form from...

    Overcoming extreme nervous/irrational fears

    So I'm just under 10 hours into my PPL, and am having a problem that neither I nor my CFI have ideas on how to solve... I get extremely nervous at take off and landing (landings being the worst). I've taken off 4-5 times, of which 2 have been "acceptable". I have a hard time staying on the...

    Hearing Stall Warning Horn

    I had my 3rd flight yesterday evening. We worked on imminent stalls, power on & power off stalls. I had a hard time hearing the stall warning horn. According to my CFI, I was missing it for at least 5 knots (if it was going off at 60 knots, I wouldn't hear it until we reached 55 knots). In...

    Stupid Wx minimum question

    Speaking of the 3/1-152: 3 miles (or 1 depending) visibility, 1000' above, 500' below, 2000' horizontal for clouds. BUT, I just want to confirm for the 1000' & 500'... that's where the plane is in relation to the clouds? So the plane would need to be 1000' above the clouds or 500' below...

    Want to start...

    First, I apologize if this topic has been covered (I'm sure it has). I did not do a search, but went back a couple of pages, and found this thread: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/what-would-you-look-for-in-a-flight-school.130476/ But that just leads to more questions...
