Filing Flight Plan
I'm 32 years old and grew up flying with my grandpa. I have fond memories of doing rolls, loops, hammer heads, and just flying around. He passed just over a year ago and I realize how much I took it for granted flying around with him. He was very knowledgeable and skilled pilot he did aerobatics, building some of his planes, and I always felt safe. I miss flying around and have decided to look into getting my own pilots license. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage of my grandpa's knowledge when he was alive so other than having flown with him a lot and on occasion taking the controls a little I am very new to this and will have many questions. Figured this would be the place to get established and ask some questions as I progress.
So first question, I know I only need my 3rd class medical, but why not getting 2nd or 1st class? I am in good health and have perfect vision, assuming my insurance will pay for my physical why not get 1st or 2nd class if I'm going to the doctor anyway?
Any helpful tips before I start are greatly appreciated.
