Just finished up my PPL in April, and I am going to ASU in August. By the end of next summer, I would like to have my IR. Im planning to find a job and save up through the school year, and I would like to be ready to start the training once school is out in May. What materials should I acquire...

Then I have to figure out how to market the site to them so that they learn about it-- the biggest challenge. I was thinking of aiming the site more at prospective teens looking to learn to fly. When I was learning, I always wished to learn more about flying from others my age. I think a...

Definitely learn on steam instead of glass. Saves money and it is much less distracting. However, when flying cross country in a single engine plane at night over the Cascades, the synthetic vision, nearest button, and relative terrain warnings really are assuring.

Hello Everyone, Some of you may or may not remember my post from a month or two back in which I was asking around to see if anyone here besides me was a teenage pilot. I have been pondering some ideas since I finished my ebook (Teenage Pilot if interested) and I am currently considering...

Try a 150 in the middle of summer :nonod:

Just wondering what reading/study materials I should be reviewing for when I train for my complex endorsement. I don't really know what to expect-- all the FAR/AIM seems to say is that I need ground and flight training, but nothing specific. Any input would be great! Thank you

Just under 60 hours TT, so yes you are correct :D Thanks for the advice. That is what I plan to do this summer-- build XC hours

Here is another that I learned: Glide, Grass, Gas. In other words, attain best glide speed, find a place to put her down, and then troubleshoot the problem.

I'm in the same boat. I haven't officially began Instrument training, but i'm about to go buy a few study materials to start learning, and i'm working on XC time now. Yesterday I was able to fly with a CFII up and down Oregon while he was purchasing an airplane. Extremely luckily for me, the...

There is Sheble's in Arizona. Im considering doing this one myself. http://shebleaviation.com/pilot-training/instrument-rating-course/ $4500

Here is one of my landings from about a month back

In my area, this last march was the 4th rainiest march in recorded history there. Of course it was during the spring that I happened to be training for my PPL...

Thanks! Ive spent the past 4 years of my life at a music forum called Harmony Central where the search function was literally useless. Im not used to a functioning search!

One of the airline pilots that I work with says that I shouldn't even be using a GPS at my level. "Learn how to FLY," he says, and I kind of agree with him. Of course the GPS that I have is a sweet little device and adds a great sense of situational awareness, but sometimes I wonder if, in the...

Tomorrow night i'm going to fly my 3 night landings so that I can take a passenger at night. My airport is a towered class D airport during the day, but the tower closes at 9, and as we all know, the airspace is turned into Echo. The plane that I rent is parked near the middle of the field, and...

Wow thanks for that! That is really interesting. I used to think his name was Morey Field... never heard of someone being named Field. Id love to visit that airport someday.

That is what I have always though. However, I don't own an airplane, and I don't have much say in the matter :dunno:

Right past the numbers. I was aware that I wanted to save as much runway as I could, but I do believe that I let her roll for a bit before adding power again. The reason I didn't calculate the distances before hand was because I regularly fly into another nearby airport that has a runway of...

That is awesome I cant wait to begin Instrument training. Hopefully it may come in a little cheaper than the private because I can use a simulator. I think im going to spend this summer building XC hours, but next summer I plan to knock that one out. However, I may land a job that allows me to...

I know that Field's father was first, then Field, and now his son runs the airport, or something to that extent. Field is a funny guy, and i'm glad it was him who gave me my checkride. That is judgment that I can trust. He told my instructor that the challenge will be to get every applicant to...
