Any Pilots out There?
-
Wow, does sound like a challenging checkride...I was crap on my checkride, but the examiner could tell I was quite nervous, and I redeemed myself with spot-on turns about a point and an appropriate reaction to him reaching over and dropping the throttle to idle...Also didn't hurt that he'd been watching me a couple days beforehand when I was greasing my landings... Most of my pilot training was out of Norwood (OWD), which is Class D within the BOS Class B "veil". So I got very comfortable with ATC from the very start. If you're in NYC, I don't suppose you had a choice but get cozy with talking to ATC :-) Went to First Flight Centennial in December, that was a blast. Even got to rent a plane down there and did a few landings at First Flight Airport! Cheers, Carl

I'm not (though I'd love to learn!) but one of my friends is. :) Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Check out Be a Pilot. They'll event get you hooked up w/an introductory flight for $49 where you'll get a sample flight lesson and even get to take the controls! Also, a great resource is the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association website. It's the resource for pilots worldwide.

Just one small detail...I'm in the UK. :laugh: Seriously though, if I had the time or money to do it I'm sure I could get the leads I needed from my friend Charlotte.

I haven't flown in the UK. Been there, but never flown. Cool. AOPA does have an international version, the IAOPA. :) Your friend prolly knows all about it -- spot on!
