Why do I need to do this before Oct 1


So you can be a pilot by Christmas, silly.

Actually, I (later) re-found this back up the thread: "Not really in a
hurry."

When I typed my response I had "How quickly can I..." in the back of my
mind. We've seen a fair number of those questions over the years. My oops.

There is a fresh thread (Cart before the horse....) over in
rec.aviation.student from a person who just bought a Cessna 172 and is now
looking to take lessons.


For some reason flying without an engine on purpose disturbs me.

Many report glider lessons made them a better pilot.
