student pilot

Hello, I am PP student, I have been looking for an app that have the ability to show near by aircraft position to use as a secondary precaution to VFR to maximize safety, I have only few hours flying and so far i feel that I have no special issues with aircraft control, the only thing that...

Hello, I am working on getting my private pilot license. I do have some medical conditions, so I was given a special issuance 3rd class medical by the FAA. I took a break from flight training, and the medical is now expired. So I was wondering, rather than having to get another special issuance...

I've discussed the monetary cost of getting my pilots license in detail. But there are some other cost that comes with flight training that's not money related. So I invited my wife to discuss this with me on video.

Hello! I am currently a student pilot with my solo endorsement and am having trouble completing my private pilot training due to the fact that my schools airplanes are booked up 4-5 weeks in advance. I need to buy an airplane. I will try to keep this as short as possible, but I appreciate all...

I recently made a video on the importance of using a checklist especially during preflight. Simple mistakes or forgetting little things can get you in trouble as a student pilot. I honestly believe that your preflight is the most important phase of your flight and you should take your time with...

I recently created a short video on some of the shady things I learned about my training after the fact. My PPL cost almost $30k, more than double what I originally thought and probably even triple the national average. Hope you new students watch out for these things.

Sorry in advance for how long this post is but.... this post is spurred by two events that happened to two separate friends within the last few weeks--both of which are student pilots. One event the pilot had flight following and the next event they had a flight plan open. I think these two...

Hi Pilots, I am more a follower than a writer on your great forum, so I'll try to make it short. I am thrilled today to announce that my app Aero Checklist for iPad is available on the Apple's App Store. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aero-checklist/id1033777621?l=en&mt=8 This app is a real...

Hi All - I am brand new to this forum and glad I found it. I am a student pilot and looking to read more and learn more from other experiences. I am documenting every single hour of my journey and posting it on youtube on a weekly basis. Hopefully this will help me get better and help others...

Hi, all. I'm new and happened to join a few days ago after pilots I knew didn't reply to my messages. I am in junior in high school and it's the time for me to start zoning in on a major I want to pursue. I fell in love with airplanes at an early age (thank the good ol' History Channel), and I...

So I recently completed my first solo flight in a piper Cherokee 140. It was three full stop landings and takeoffs. The video I have included is the very first one. I also wrote a short blog post about how someone can become a private pilot. I did a lot of research prior to making the decision...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. Another member of the aviation community recommended I drop by here and check it out. I've read some posts and I really like it. ANYWAYS... I took to big of a bite for my first solo cross country last week (July 27), which is also the extended cross...
