    Private training progress update

    Well, it seems my prior concerns are a moot now, as I flew solo for the first time today. :) Thanks for the comments and support, everyone. I'll keep posting my progress, for those interested.

    Private training progress update

    Well, I easily eclipsed the 20 hour mark today (by like 1.5 hours, actually), yet I find myself still awaiting that much anticipated first solo flight. Anything to be worried about? My instructor keeps telling me (and my friends) that I'm doing fantastic. I'm been doing 100% of the flying in the...

    Thinking of doing ATC and need advice

    Heh, no worries. I was just thinking about it and stuff. The thing is, by the time the FAA is ready to call them, there may be thousands of 30-year-old bday parties that have passed since then. I just turned 26 and think I may be able to squeeze in nicely if I start training soon.

    Please, don't everyone reply at once, this **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** is hard to keep up with. ;)

    Thinking of doing ATC and need advice

    So, here I am up in the tower last night BSing with one of the senior air traffic controllers (on slow days I go up there and shoot the shiat with them.....supposedly they like talking to us lowly ramp workers). Anyway, I was shocked when he told me that he thinks I should become an air traffic...

    Did you want me to post my reply here? I have no problem with doing so; I was just unsure of where you wanted the reply to end up, that's all. :)

    You'll find my message in the inbox of the very email address you provided, not the inbox of the Private Messenging system of this website. ;) Maybe there is a technical problem here....

    Training update

    Well, I'm around 15 hours now and pretty confident I can fly the plane around the pattern and come back safely, but not yet. Although, I've heard that he likes to keep these things a secret..... Has anyone had an instructor that likes to keep your first solo secret until the last possible...

    Training update

    Well, I just got back from today's lesson and it was great. Went up around 9:30am and had a chance to finally practice dodging the numerous puffy cumulus clouds that are typical of a summer morning here in south Florida (every time I've went up thus far, the mornings have been clear up until...

    Average time for first solo?

    Wow, I didn't imagine I would get this amount of feedback on this topic. Thanks for everyone's contribution. I forgot to mention that I train (and work) at a very busy Class D airport (APF), and that I only get a chance to fly once a week (believe me, if I could do it everyday, I would)...

    Average time for first solo?

    I've heard of people taking their first solo flight with as little as 5 hours logged, which seems rather scary to me. However, it seems the median is around 10, judging by the comments on this board and others. Due to whatever reason, my flight school tends to average around 15-20 hours, which...
