Multi/IFR/Commercial rated here... good thing you got those sweet sweet consulting bucks to spend on flying :)

Hi SD1, can you elaborate on that Commercial part please?

Glad to hear you got your medical. If there is a #1 mistake new pilots make, it is not getting the medical cleared. first.

Advice from a 200 hr pilot - don’t worry if it doesn’t all make sense at first. It takes time and nobody has ever failed to learn to fly, they just quit first. It’s all time in the air, so remember to enjoy it too

ppl consultant here, is a great, rewarding experience although trying to balance pilot training with our job would be difficult, i think

Hello if anyone’s there 👋 I’m wondering what some of you have done after getting your PPL?

Looking to eventually take the plunge, but want to know what things look like beyond PPL.

Looking to choose a place to fly out of for getting my PPL. Would you recommend a program based out of a controlled or uncontrolled airport? It sounds like you get more flight time out of the uncontrolled (less busy), but less experience liaising with ATC. Both options are comparable cost-wise and about the same distance from my house.

Anyone have good fall foliage GA airports in New Hampshire, MA, or Southern Maine?
