So I have been training with some younger CFI’s and it has been going well. My favorite CFI just got hired at an airline so I reached out to one who does it part time. Well this guys is an old schoolCfI and He is going to take my training to the next level. His approach is totally different. He...

So I have been practicing touch and go’s a lot lately to really get good at landings and for some reason it is just not clicking yet. My instructor said that it will just click one day and then they will come natural. Is that true? I have 17 landings so far and am going out again on Saturday to...

I just got ForeFlight and have been going through it inputting the plane profile and weight and balance etc. But are there any tips or settings you would recommend for a student pilot?

Well 7 hours into my flight training I was feeling pretty good. Doing well on my maneuvers, really controlling the plane in the air. Communicating well with ATC. Today I said let’s practice touch and go’s. My flight instructor said sure and off we went. Well holy **** did I get slammed with some...

Hey everyone, I am making good progress and am hoping to solo by the end of May. What happens after I successfully solo? Do I continue with an instructor? Do I keep soloing and mix in some instructor time as well? Just curious what training looks like after my first solo. Thanks

From my first lesson through my 4th. I am hooked on flying. Today I was in complete control from preflight to takeoff and all the way through my first landing. What a day! I am doing all the maneuvers with confidence and am loving it. All I can think about is flying lol I look up every time I...

Hey Everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on taking flight lessons once per week. I will go as often as i can however with my schedule its hard to go more than once per week. Some weeks i will have 2 lessons booked. Have any of you had success training at that rate? Thanks, Joe

I’m taking my family to clear water over spring break. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good CFI in that area? I would like to book a lesson that week.

What an awesome experience. I had a bad CFI to start and just switched to a different instructor. It was nice to get up and fly around. I’ll admit I had sweaty hands the entire time but truly enjoyed it and am looking forward to my next lesson. A couple of questions, does the nervousness...

Finally got in the air for my first lesson and it lasted all of 5 minutes. It was crazy windy and the instructor said that it wasn’t worth flying today because of the wind. It was white knuckle flying from take off to landing. The CFI did all of the flying because we had 25+ knot winds. I’ve...

I had my first lesson today. We couldn’t go up due to snow squalls so we started learning the instruments of the Cessna 172. I felt like I was drinking from a fire house. I’m understanding the concepts but I feel like once I am in the sky it will be a little overwhelming. Any advice on what else...

Hey everyone, I finally took the leap to get pilots license. I’m looking forward to getting my own plane and flying my family around the country. My first flight lesson is next week. If you have any advice or suggestions on what I should do between now and my first lesson I would appreciate it.
