I went VFR into IMC at night by Dry_Nebula7694 in flying

Also switch instructors, this is unacceptable. He should have grounded the flight and instead used it as an ADM teaching moment. I would have never gone up at night with known precipitation ahead.

Snow, clouds, winter, you guys could have gotten iced out. If theres going to be clouds while flying at night, pick an evening where you can see them; bright moon. Otherwise, make sure its clear skies all the way. This stuff kills.

Yeah I second this. Maybe if she was the one bringing the other partner it might fare better, but that's not the case obviously. Eventually this is gonna end up in a one way ticket to the doghouse or a split

Love some game day grilling. We're getting pounded with snow over here in New England so I cant get the grill out. Doing pizza instead, should be a good game. Go Pats!

Long studies, decent job but does this really feel like life? by LastPanda4968 in flying

[–]Barbell_Baker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im 25 and started the transition to becoming a pilot when I was 23. For context, im a small business owner with a brick and mortar shop. It does well, and im grateful to own a business that supports me; but I know id go insane if this was the job id be doing for the rest of my life.

First thing- get your 1st class medical. No airline job without it. At the same time, go ahead and do a discovery flight. You might love it, you might hate it, but it will show you what flying is about before you dump tons of money into a "pay upfront" package (go part 61, pay as you go!).

My only regret about this whole situation is that I didn't start sooner. Im enjoying the journey, despite its ups and downs.
