I'm almost there!
I'm 1.1 hours into flight training. I didn't get to land myself due to a bad crosswind, but it was f'ing fun anyway. I'm learning in a Cherokee because I don't fit very well in a C150, which is my other option. What a rush. Peace.

Good for you. Now a little advice to save yourself some hassle when it come time for your solo: Get a medical and do the PSTAR exam. Ask your instructor about a cat 4 medical so you can solo before your medical certificate comes in the mail. Get this done ASAP. That's free advice.

I've already had a class 1 medical, because I plan on getting a commercial license, and that would be a big waste of money if I was to find out, after spending cubic dollars, that I was inelligable(sp?) for some unknown reason. Is this different than a cat 4 medical? I don't know what a pstar exam is? Further, I've missed the last 2 weekends flying(1 weather, 1 with a bad cold) so I've got some time making up to do. Thanks!

the PSTAR is the student permit, it has a 50 question written test and allows you to solo for the purpose of training assuming you have your medical, etc. IIRC the class 4 is a self declared medical required for ultralight isnt it?

The cat 4 medical can be used, among other things, to go solo or to get your rec permit. If you have a cat 1 then you don't need to worry as long as you actually physically have the medical certificate in your hands. Just because you've done the medical doesn't mean TC will send the certificate in time for your solo.

I've experienced everything from a couple day to never. I'd say if you don't have it in a month you should make some calls to TC.goldenguitargod wrote:Thanks for the answers. How long, on average, does TC take to get the certificate out to you?

Update time. I'm about 5 or 6 hours in now, and experienced my first spin yesterday. While plummeting to almost certain death, I was able to override my instincts, and remove my hand that had shot out to grab the controls. What a fucking twisty ride(excuse my language). I can't wait to do it again. Peace.
