Just curious, but when you were growing up as a teen or young adult did you have supportive parents or family who allowed you to do flight training for a sport pilot or private pilot license? If not, why were they opposed of you learning to fly and how did you convince them to allow you to...

Hey guys. I recently thought about this question after seeing my friends and family make more money than me. I start to compare my life to their life. Sometimes I start to get jealous. So do you think money is important in life? For me I just want to make enough money to live independently...

Here's a question that I have been pondering about for a little bit. Suppose a police car is parked on the side of the highway trying to catch drivers speeding and other traffic violations. What would happen if there are multiple drivers speeding or multiple drivers committing traffic...

Hello all, when people talks about careers and jobs, they usually hope to find a "real job". Now I believe that a "real job" usually has one or more factors of it. So I want to ask you what do you think is a "real job"? What do you think a "real job" consists of? Do you think the definition...

It seems, that from time to time online, when some of the pilots and aviation enthusiasts complained about the decline of GA or over regulation from the FAA, they mentioned that the FAA's mission is to regulate and promote aviation. Now today, the FAA's mission changed to "provide the safest...

I'm not an economist but here is what I predict what would happen to aviation economically if the House Drivers License Medical Bill was passed. LSA/SP: For LSA, I believe that we would see used and new SLSAs prices falling somewhat because then PPLs can fly bigger planes without having to drop...

Hey all. I have been sick for at least a week with almost non-stop coughing. It started on Thursday or Friday with a scratchy throat and a little cough. But it then progressed into coughing at certain times. Sometimes I cough very hard at certain times that it makes me feel awful. I went to...

I know that on the last thread I posted back in last January, I was worried that I would not have time to continue sport pilot training because of life getting in the way sooner than I expected. I was wrong because I got a summer job at Newark Airport and made enough money to spend it on flying...

http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/...gust/aopa-names-new-president-mark-baker.aspx While Mark has an extensive flying background, I was hoping he has more work experience in aviation like running an airport or an FBO for example. Do you think Mark is the person who will lead AOPA and GA to...

I think I already know the answer to this question but some first solo posts around this board and other aviation forums cause me to think twice on this. Ok here is the question. I think the common practice for letting the first solo is letting the student pilot know that the CFI is getting...

Consider this scenario, say if you have been denied a medical so Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, and higher certificates are unavailable, and also say there are no access or training to balloons or gliders nearby, would you fly a Part 103 ultralight (airplane) if that is your only choice? Would you...
