The road to a PPL is preset in requirements by FAA. I see that most people are happy to do nothing more than that. Outside of the cost factors, I find this much more than curious considering the consequences. You can get killed, that one keeps jumping out at me ![]() I am asking the group for assistance in developing a list of instructional and solo experiences, testing, mandatory reading.....if you ran the FAA, what would you require in a near-perfect world that a PPL would require? I am a zero-hour wannabe pilot FYI For a start, I won't begin my first instruction until I can do the following: Pass all tests with a 95% minimum Handle with ease all traffic control and similar commo Dissect the anatomy of my training aircraft Understand what and how the instrumentation works (shortcomings included) Own all the fundamentally necessary flight gear (i.e carry-ons in flight bag or on person) Obtain hours in flight simulation More...enough for now. TIA. The group is an extremely valuable resource; I sincerely doubt I would be so focused and confident without your past, present and future work here. -- ================================================== ====== |

If you want to talk HOAs, ignore or listen as you desire. If you don't live in a subdivision with deed restricting HOAs, why would you care in the first place? -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!
