for any of you other guys trying to get your private pilot certificate bold method website is awesome.. I have done the demo courses on both weather and airspace and they are great. I plan on buying them in the near future. I would highly recommend you taking a look at the website if you get a...

I am having trouble wrapping my head around this for some reason.. An altimeter change from 29.15 to 29.85 would equal how much altitude change? My thinking is your going from a lower atmospheric pressure to a higher atmospheric pressure which would mean you are going from higher to lower...

I am only about 8 hrs of flight time into my training and I have been reading an older Rod Machados Private Pilot Handbook. I am not sure of the exact date of the book but it says a medical certificate is good for 3 years but after reading and studying other places I found medical certificates...

I am looking for a website to get sample test questions to practice for my written and also to judged where I am in terms of preparedness, any out there??

Im approaching HR number 5 in my lessons and everything is going good, instructor says I am catching on to everything quickly. I feel comfortable with everything except some motion sickness. Doesn't really bother me when flying (although today I had a small amount of queasiness doing some steep...

Why does maneuvering speed go up with an increase weight? I would think it would be the opposite, with an increased weight you would need a decreased maneuvering speed? I know at lower weights the effects of aerodynamic forces are greater, but why? You would think if there is enough aerodynamic...

new to aviation in that I now have 3 hrs toward my certificate :) which brings me to the question, what exactly are y'all using your iPads for? What exactly are u doing with your iPads during the flight and what apps are used to help pre and post flight? Are y'all actually using a digital log...

Well today I officially started my flying lessons with hour 1 logged in the book. Look forward to future time spent in the left seat learning!! My only complaint, and this is something that is going to have to give if I am going to continue to fly, and that is the headaches after I am done...

As the subject thread states, I am hesitant to start the training for my PPL. I have always been interested in flight and love to learn about stuff. I love everything about flying (I think).. But I have a couple of nagging concerns that keep me from taking the leap.. My concerns are: 1) Will...

I have found a place to take flying lessons since moving. It is a flying club in which you join for $250/yr and that gives you access to a Cessna 1973 model 150L. It cost 70/hr wet to fly for members of the club. This does include the cost of insurance to solo (covered both on ground and air)...

I was visiting with my grandfather the other day who was a pilot but has not flown in probably 20 years. He has owned several airplanes and even built one from ground up. While at his house we got to talking airplanes and he told me he had some old radios out in the garage and wanted to give...

I am in the near future starting my PPC. I have been reading the site for quiet some time and have got a ton of information. Now that I am about to dive in this information is coming much more vital.

Does anybody know anything about a cirrus going down in Tuscaloosa, Al this past Monday night??

"The other expense is in reduced TBO. The TSIO-520UB on the Bonaza has a 1600 hour TBO and most need top overhauls way before that (check out the specs on most of the planes for sale.) A lot of the TBO issues are related to the high operating temperatures that most of the components have to...

I am planning to start the PPL course Mid Feb to First March. I live in Southaven, Ms (just outside of Memphis) and wondering if any guys in this area have advice on flight schools or instructors. I have gathered information on Olive Branch and Downtown aviation and both seem reputable. Any...
