Private pilot's lisence. Does it help?

Bad advice if he wants to fit in as a Husky.

Wow, someone's full of jokes tonight. Don't worry, Wazzu will eventually be recognized as a big boy school someday.

This question has to be in the top 5 for most asked question on this board

No checkride required--just a 1 hour gouge session where they give you the answer to every question in the question bank and 20 question test

Fixed it for you. Unless things have changed, I wouldn't call what we did a "course". All the DPE did was go through the question bank one by one, providing the answers - then we went over to the airport and took the test. I got a 100%.

I'm about to take the test on Saturday, will report!

I'm about to start taking lessons for my ppl and was just wondering, cost aside, would it be better to train in cessna 152's or 172's? Would the 172 give me better preparation on any level, or does it not matter at all? Thanks

No difference, except you will spend more money in a 172. Neither airplane will prepare you for the T-34.

 

[NozeMan]

In IFS you will probably fly a -172.....but it's not going to matter. It's still half the speed of the T-34....and civilian flight training is not nearly as stressful.

Fly a 172 if you can. 152's are like flying Vespas.

So could we equate a 152 to a moped?

(i.e. it's a lot a fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to see you doing it)

Dude, it's still an airplane! Most of your friends cannot fly it. I landed the T-45 in some pretty heinous winds on Friday and a guy I knew was taking the 152 up for a spin. He is a CFI but the crosswind landings looked scary!

Whats your max crosswind component in the 45?

What I really was trying to do was allude to a urban dictionary term for some type of women, but its all good.

It varies based on conditions, but solo (FLYTPAY) max XW is 10kts (unless TW-1 has it different than TW-2)

10-15 is fullstop to centerline.......>15 requires an arrestment. IP's NATOPS limit is 20 knots.

If you're going to get your PPL, don't stop. Get your Instrument rating too, and do it in something that goes faster than interstate traffic.

Maybe some of us just like going slow. 3000' AGL, 85KIAS, vis 5SM enjoying the scenary. What is the hurry? We get there when we get there. It is all in a days work.
