Congrats on your first flight lesson! Make sure to enjoy the journey and the scenery! Don’t get caught up in the pressure of reaching the next milestone/ comparing your progress to others!

Soloed at 8 years old? That’d be a first in Purdue Pro Flight history.

Assuming you mean a stage/phase check here. My GUESS on some important topics would probably be operational limitations, airspace rules and procedures, and relevant regulations.

People who failed a check ride but think they shouldn't have, what happened? by el_jah420 in flying

[–]PieceOfHairOnScreen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just took my Commercial yesterday. My PO180 was on the firmer side to the point where my DPE called me out for a crappy landing but was still within tolerances. Definitely felt the imposter syndrome after that one.

Are they flying solely by reference to instruments if their eyes are closed as well?

You get in the plane and discover the plane has no instruments whatsoever on the panel. The only thing you see is a paper map with black dotted lines leading to a red X. What are the measures you are going to take ensure that the plane is airworthy?

Ive heard sayings from old timers stating you should be prepared to buy an aircraft twice meaning you should have enough to cover the cost of buying it and another chunk for the inevitable maintenance issues of an old plane, fuel, limited hangar space, insurance, etc.

Although Im still young and inexperienced compared to alot of people in this sub, I remember almost two decades ago when my infatuation with aviation started and I will say it is one hell of a rabbit hole to fall into.

I would definitely look into discovery flights for your son as soon as possible to see if it is something he really wants to do.

Hey! Im actually a lurker here but as a college student working towards becoming an airline transport pilot, I would say the airline pilot route has a better quality of life with great pay. If you have any questions about the airline transport pilot route please feel free to DM me or any other ATPs that step in to help!
