fun stuff, aint it? don't take this the wrong way, as I know how exciting this stage of learning is, but take off and landing time is the time to be LISTENING more and talking, well, little to none. maybe a quick repeat of what the instructor is telling you to do..."reduce power"....."reducing power".......more right rudder..........."ok more right rudder", and that's it, as instructions will be coming at you one after the other. I know it's overwhelming but, more listening at this stage.
Congrats.My first solo landing.
My first solo landing.
My PPL checkride is scheduled for this Saturday the 23rd. Me and my CFI are going to knock out my last hour of checkride prep this week. Let's hope for good weather that day.

Good Luck! I have been following your progress a little closer than the others due to the tiger paw and being fairly local in POA terms.
Do you know the DPE that you most likely will be using?

I did my check ride at an unfamiliar airport. It wasn't an issue for mine.Thanks! I will be using Cyndy Hollman. Some of you may have seen her ground school youtube videos. We called Tom (I don't know his last name) and he was booked up for a while and he referred us to her. She is a local CFI who recently became a DPE. I'm planning a cross country from KGMU to KPDK. Works out well because I will be flying into PDK more than any other airport other than my home base. I have not flown out of KGMU though and we will be doing the checkride out of there so I need to take a quick flight over there to help get familiar before hand.

Hello all, another wanna-be pilot here. I will solo in about two weeks or so. I have just under 30 hours. Before the solo I'll still have to have another 2.5 hours or so.
On that I have a question - isn't this a bit too much time for a pre-solo?
Howdy Y'all.
Another student pilot here. I just had my third lesson. Currently working on slow flight, stalls, and trying to taxi without looking like I'm under the influence (I'm not!).
Can u see how this might be slightly intimidating to a student pilot on his checkride?
Hello All,
Its been a while since I posted, but today I got my first long cross country out of the way. We filed for 0730 and were wheels up just before that time, we did KISM-KBKV-KOCF-KISM. We left early enough where it wasn't blazing hot, and beat the weather. I had a great morning, and cant wait to get my solo cross country done. Below is a quick video I put together, I decided to do something a little different, and hope you enjoy, the video is just from the first let of todays flight.

That's the same plane Lew Dix instructs in in a lot of his videos.
Funny because I've heard people say just the opposite. Maybe after getting the PPL out of the way you're a pilot and whatever happens with the IR ticket, you're still a pilot.First IR stage check scheduled for this Saturday. 1/3 of IR training done’ish!
Nowhere close to how hard PPL was, this is fun!
I finally got the video done from my first solo. After landing I make some giant mistakes with ATC and my radio calls. Overall a great experience! Since this day I have done one more solo with 6 touch and go’s as well as my stage one check and passed. Making progress for sure and now have 20 hours in the logbook!
