Line Up and Wait
Hey all. If you know me on this forum and on other aviation forums, you may noticed that I tend to jump from one goal to another goal. Ever since I wanted to get involved in aviation as a hobby, I had tons of ideas of what I wanted to try in aviation. But I never really had a set goal of what I really wanted to do in aviation as a hobby.
These are the 2 goals I wanted to achieve in aviation above all else. These are the ones that I kept in mind hoping to acheive someday.
1. Get a sport pilot license someday
2. If the AOPA/EAA medical exemption goes through, and if I have enough money for it, go for private pilot license because of the lack of sport pilot schools and LSAs in my area.
These other goals are just a phase I was going through or thought about a little bit at one time or another
1. Learn to fly Part 103 ultralights
2. Learn to fly a paraglider or hang glider
3. Learn to fly a glider/sailplane because I watched a lot of Youtube videos of a pilot flying a glider/sailplane and they look very fun
4. Build a experimental amateur built airplane that meets LSA rule to get my sport pilot license in because of the lack of sport pilot schools in the area.
5. Learn to fly a sport pilot eligible classic taildragger like a Piper Vagabond to get my sport pilot license in, since I like flying low and slow and with simple instruments
6. Fly with just a CFI on board all the time
7. Give up on flight training and go back to flying in a PC flight simulator
So the point is that I always knew that I wanted to be involved in aviation both as a career and as a hobby, but as a hobby, I never really had a set fixed goal of what I wanted to achieve in aviation. Is that bad? Pilots, Student Pilots, and Aviation Enthusiasts, did you have the same problem as me of not really sure what you wanted to do in aviation as a hobby?
