CONGRATS!!!!

This is great!  I still recall my solo and it was 20 years ago...I thought it would not happen at times, but like you it did and it was soooo worth it.

Good job!

Thank you that would be great.  I really want to make sure that we here to help people get the most from flying

Hey All!!

I would like to know how we can improve the forums to attract more members and more interaction within the forum.

Have any ideas?

Now this is the kind of post I really love to read!!!

Congratulations on this 50% 

You just made my day!

Hey Dale and welcome to the forums.

It think the reason you may have gotten that answer is that Discovery Flights are money losers for flight schools.  Offered to people that actually might want to learn to fly.  Since you will be flying back in the UK that might have been the reason.

Also though its a grey area as to what defines "flight training".  If the time is not logged as training in a logbook then it is not training for the purposes of obtaining a pilot certificate (license in the UK)

I have noticed that each school seems to understand the law different.  I will talk with TSA and get a more definitive answer on this.

Thanks for visiting and checking in with the forums....

Hello Chili and welcome to Pilot Journey!  You will find a of great future and current pilots here to hang out with.

A reflective journal will save you money in your training!   And it's a great way to share your flight training with your friends.

To learn more about the technical explanation of a Reflective Journal go here:

The article is VERY LONG and somewhat "wordy" but do not let that stop you from trying the concept and SAVING money  on your training.

Greetings new pilots or current pilots!

The free student blogs are available in "beta" form now.  The purpose of these blogs or web sites is to allow you to share your flying with family and friends.  Great uses of your private free blog include:

• 
  Sharing your thoughts about each lesson with your flight instructor
  Posting pictures related to your flying lessons
  And creating a great memory of your training!
  
  

Not many people know this but you can save a great deal of money by keeping a "reflective journal" about your education because it allows you to "relive" each flight lesson again .. for free!

By having your CFI review your journal he or she can comment on your learning progress.

Pick from many themes with more being created each week.

Please note that each blog or site must have something to do with aviation.  You may have personal items on your blog in addition but those items must not contain any illegal content or content that our editors find offensive.  Yes, we look at them all and delete such sites in seconds

To get your free blog you can download our pilot tool bar and then click 'create blog' under the pilotjourney logo.  That's it.

To get the tool bar go here: http://pilotjourney.com/toolbar

Welcome to Pilot Journey 

Hang out with us and learn all you can!

Hello Christopher and welcome to the forums at Pilot Journey

This will not be a problem at all.  I went through the same thing.  Once your body is is used to the ups and downs those issues will go away.

We humans have been only going forward and backward and not used to ups and downs 

Hi Mike!

Welcome to Pilot Journey... a growing community of people addicted to flying

Welcome Ralph!

Thanks for joining us here.

I am afraid of heights also, but with wings that "fear" goes away.  We are afraid because we might fall out of control.  But with wings we can not fall.  I know it sounds strange but its true. 

Welcome to the world of flying.. I am 52 so we are close enough to the same age to love all of this

Welcome Wes to Pilot Journey!

First if you have not done it I would suggest you take a look at the Career Pilot Seminar:
http://pilotjourney.com/career_pilot_seminar

That will answer many questions.

The good news is you can train at a local school or a large school.  Larger schools have more resources and sometimes even contacts with the airlines.

Other will also chime in here..so stay tuned for lots of opinions.

Again, welcome!

Welcome to all the new folks!  I have been so busy working on a new book and a new video (that I will give you all for free) that I have not been on the forums much.

Come back and enjoy your flying!
