I'm a fairly low time PP, current medical without a BFR. 52 yrs old with still a passion to fly. Like most people, my own business and family has stripped me of my time, but not my dream. My business takes me on a weekly travel schedule that keeps me away from home Monday-Friday. It is...

Such a popular subject lately around the GA community. I see this in the latest print publications, entire websites dedicated to it, AOPA has a giant section on it. Makes me think that more guys would like to get back in than actually ARE in. I am one of these guys. I've been in and out many...

This sounds silly and ridiculous and on the edge of embarrassing. I am totally uncomfortable in an airplane because it has no armrest! There, I said it. I am 5'10" 180 lbs. I drive 50K miles a year for work. Some of them heavy trucks. I have gone so far as to purchase $1200 aftermarket seats...

PP with 8 year sabbatical and my first re-intro flight is Tuesday. I decided to get back in months ago but timing and winter got in the way. Since I decided to get back in, I've totally over analyzed this to death. I've joined websites, participated in webinars, reading PP Oral Exam Guide...

Will Metar, or any WX code and abbreviations come back to me without a cheat sheet? I'm getting frustrated with my inability to remember the codes with my re-introduction to the cockpit. I test myself on a regular basis, (God knows I can't fly lately) and I regularly can't remember pieces of...

I'm looking for a program that's not on-line that I can purchase for use in my vehicle CD or possibly downloadable to my Ipod or Phone (bberry) for VFR or light IFR recurrent training. Basically I'm a VFR pilot with some IFR time like a lot of folks and would like something to listen to when...

I'm continually amazed at the resources available to read and view online when flying is not available as training aids. Between the AOPA and places like Pilot Workshops there really is a lot of info to read if so inclined, as long as you enjoy reading and viewing such things on your spare...

I'm sure the AOPA discussion has been done to death, but I just re-joined because they have a really neat section online about getting back into flying. If I remember correctly, these folks called my house WAY too often back when I was a member last time. I wonder if its still the same...

Looks like I'll be getting back into the cockpit after a long layover in life. I'm 48 and when I pulled my log book out yesterday, it showed 8 years since my last flight. I learned on a 150 that I purchased in partners with my flight instructor. We sold the plane when he didn't want his CFI...

Hi, I'm new here. Showed up about a week ago and have been lurking and searching threads for that time. Great site, lots of info. I'll contribute where I can, but not generally a posting monger. Private Pilot on hiatus, looking to get back in. Thanks for the great forum.
