training

This popped up in my FB feed. Its old but its the first time I've seen it. I did some searching but I didn't find a thread on it here.

Hey everyone, it's been a bit since I've posted anything on here and I wanted to share how things are going. Back when I started flight training, I applied for a 3rd class medical at about 7 hours of flight time. My instructor was ready to solo me then, and I was to the point where I knew this...

https://www.pipistrel-aircraft.com/aircraft/electric-flight/velis-electro-easa-tc/ Good on them for getting one into the air. Training is the right use case (for now).

I was 7.3 hours into my training all in a Archer to this point and today was the transition to taildragger. It was AWESOME! Got 2.1 logged in the Rans S-20 with 5 full stop landings. Each got progressively better and the last one was really nice on the “home strip” (24 feet wide) which is UT9...

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice day! I have been in love with planes and helicopters my entire life. I am 31, wife and kids, with a career I would have stayed in longer if not for the slow demise of the industry I am starting to see unfold. For the past 5 years I have been trying to...

Is there a convenient way to use Foreflight to identify the correct ARTCC frequency for picking up VFR flight following when away from a metropolitan area with approach control? I did all my flight training at a class D airport within a class C area, so I always picked up FF from the approach...

Evening, i'm a pilot in training and i'm also looking for a working airplane for short cargo hauls in the Caribbean. Less than 100 nautical mile legs. I'm searching for an airplane that I can both finish my training in and use after the fact. Considering renting or buying for flight training...

Good afternoon! I'm obviously new here so I kind of wanted to introduce myself first. My name is Josh! :) I'm currently 27 and I've been interested in flying my entire life, but only recently have I been able to get to pursue it! I've flown a couple of times before on trips. Actually got to fly...

Hi! I am 16 years old and trying to pay for flight lessons. I have a job but it does not pay enough to keep up with consistent training. I have a 529 plan and I am wondering if that can be used for flight training at a part 61/141 school? Has anyone ever heard of using it? I would appreciate any...

Hello !!! First post here. I would like to introduce my self and ask the question in the subject. I am in my forties, I live in the northeast and I decided now is the time to complete a dream of mine and learn to fly. After PPL, my plan is to take the family for trips around the area...

Hello, I'm turning 40 this year, and I have decided to pursue my passion for flying that I've put off for so many years. I'm considering diving straight into multi-engine training. I wanted some input. I would like to fly trans atlantic in 2 - 3 years after completing my training. Any input /...

Hi Everyone, I have been dreaming of getting my PPL and I think the time to start pursuing it will open up sometime this year. For some background, I live in Northern NJ and have a good full time job and the money saved up to pursue my license. I would only be pursuing this as a hobby and...

I’m selling a RedBird TD2 flight simulator (6 pack steam gauge version). The simulator includes a table, Saitek rudder pedals, a keyboard and manuals. It has been excellent for practicing procedures (in VFR and IFR conditions) and has greatly improved my confidence when I’m flying a real...

Hello, I’m interested in taking my flight training to the absolute maximum. I also have no intention to work as a pilot. I’m wondering what is the community’s recommendation to the best possible flying education. Nothing can replace experience I know, But may as well start with the best possible...

The best time of day for me is after work which is 17:00-19:00. We always seem to have bad weather. I have flown about 2 out of my last 10 scheduled classes. It's been very frustrating. We're at 2200 MSL, so I guess I should have figured out the weather patterns beforehand :-). At 2.5 hrs...

Hey all, I am a student pilot with around 70 hours. I am preparing for my checkride currently and I am struggling with preparing for the oral exam. I watched videos of exams and felt fairly comfortable answering those questions, however... when I went to take a mock checkride with my instructor...

Hi, Can I train and get my private pilot license in an Aviat Husky? Just wanted to see if there were any regulatory requirements that a Husky may not meet. Thanks, Sam
