![]() "Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com... I do know of the biennial review. Do you think there are nonproficient pilots, and are current regs sufficient? Lots of evidence suggests its not. Some CFIs have actually refered to one of the large flight schools as "American Diers." Do you think a zero time to PPL certificate in a month school is adequate training, even if you can pass the check ride? I don't. Thats why I quit. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have made some money to make it to early retirement. If I can convince myself that I will be able to fly at least once per week, and keep current on the new technologies, I'm going back to school. (Of course, many CFIs would probably not want Skylune as a student, as I can be a stubborn pain in the ass. But, I think that is one of the successful character traits of a pilot, judging from what I've seen here and from other experience. ;-). The worst trained US pilot is a better aircraft pilot than the average licensed automobile driver is an auto driver. |

Do you think that there are not vast unpopulated areas of the country now? take a few minutes on earth.google.com |

One would think the US has vast unpopulated areas, but take the redeye
from the West Coast and you will see lights most every where. "Gig 601XL Builder" wr.giacona@coxDOTnet wrote in message news:VZT3f.36399$b65.34841@okepread01...

"The plane, a $7 million Cessna Citation 7, was found at the Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field on Monday and remained there this morning, said Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. The plane is owned by Pinnacle Air of Springdale, Ark., which had no comment on the incident today." "Planes are easy to steal if you know how to fly them, because they usually do not require a key to start the engines, Gwinnett County Police Sgt. D. Mattox told the Gwinnett Daily Post." --Damn he's giving away all the secrets! ![]() http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/3391484 I could be paranoid here, but are we being set up?

What does one have to do with the other?????
Nothing at all, but there does appear to be a re-occuring subject in some of your reply posts, it all seems to come back to how badly pilots are trained in the US? Maybe you should travel abroad for your training and cert? ;-) Are u gonna pursue your pilot license, or are you gonna drop out like Skylune did? You really have no concept of enjoying the journey do you! I will never 'drop out' of enjoying flying, now I've found that I do! :-) If I have the inclination then yes, I will go for a PPL, but if I don't get that far, I'm not going to get bitter and twisted about it, I'm not going to label myself a 'drop out, loser or failure' and spend my time moaning at others who have got theirs! And I won't be waiting till early retirement either, even early would be a long way off for me. I will fly when I want too, and enjoy the flying I do, and if its enough to go for a license, then thats a bonus. You have to live your life everyday, nobody can say for sure they will be here tomorrow. I'm sure there is some poor guy who died doing his check flight? But I would hope he was the sort to have enjoyed the training :-) Regards |
