dont want to give too many details because i guess this is probably rare enough these days that someone could figure it out.

but one of our local DPE's, and really the only one who does IR and PPLs, has started getting really nasty. not going to get into specifics, but he's interpreting the ACS extremely loosely and applying it in such a way that basically any 50-100 hour pilot isn't going to pass. so yes, applicants are failing to stay within tolerances, but he's asking for diversion to VOR's while under the hood then flunking them when they "deviate" by 20 degrees or +/-10kts when trying to dial up their nav radio.

maybe acceptable for commerical, and definitely fine for CFI students, but at the private level? shit like climbing turns while under the hood? tell me i'm not off-base here and that this guy isn't fishing for re-test fees.

how many of you are in debt from training

I've started studying for my first checkride. I'm more worried about the ground knowledge check than the practical test. Any anons have a good resources that helped them? I have the oral exam guide I've read and am going to read a few more times. I'm able to get 2/3 or more of available answers however I want to be able to know I know the answer or know how to find it easily.

I watched a private jet pilot walk through his routine on yt once. Most boring thing I've ever seen in my life. You're an actual retarded faggot if you think "jet time" in planes is cool and worth flexing on an anonymous image board.

How difficult is it to go to a PA-28 after a C-172 PPL? Is it something you can pick up on during IR training or would you need separate transition lessons?

You can pick it up during IR training.
2-3 hours max. PA-28 is a forgiving airplane. It's easier to land due to the lower wing riding ground effect better. Be careful about that wing spar issue.

Passed my private today. Absolute crush-job, painted the thousand footers on my short field right dead center, even the DPE was impressed and made a comment.

Quite a humbling feeling bros. I guess I can just go fly a plane now? Kind of hard to believe.

For those of you wondering what a PPL costs right now. Took me 72 hours and a little over $20,000. That includes everything, from the whiz wheel to my iPad to foreflight to medical and all those hours. Onto instrument, I start with the hood tomorrow.
>>
>>1950267
i'm about to start ppl lessons next month and i'm nervous as fuck about all the testing involved. what did you study and how much time did you spend studying? i'm already the majority of the way done with sporty's ground school to get an idea of what i'm in for
>>
>>1950300
Know the PHAK and FARs. I memorized the ACS too, just so I knew what I had to do and could verbalize during manuevers. Knowing the ACS also allowed me to steer the oral a lot, I'd seriously recommend it once you are in that stage where you're checkride prepping. No use doing it before you solo.

It has basically been my life the last fifty-ish days. I ran through checklists and recited acronyms in the car all the time. In terms of hours studied? No idea, but it was definitely a lot.

the written feels like an irrelevant, ancient memory. so does solo'ing. not saying you shouldn't take it seriously, but you are going to be held to a vastly higher knowledge standard on your checkride vs. when you sit the written.
>>
>>1950304
cont.

I am sure PPL will soon feel the same as the written and solo do now. not really interested in staying at this level for long, but its a validating experience to conquer your first actual checkride. a definite feeling of total euphoria.

It was 110F for three straight weeks here in Albuquerque where it also is 100% convective after 11am every day and I had to tolerate this for several hours every day
Absolute horseshit, I miss my new England flying at least there it was clearly IFR when the weather was bad and I could have the day off without question or sitting around to see if the winds pick up or not
On top of that it's regularly 9000+ density altitude and I'm still expected to teach people in a 150? Why do we even have this thing here?
Basically fuck the desert and hot climates in general
>>
>>1951055
Do it year round, the more expirience you have the better. I would say start in spring so you can get the majority of your training done during the summer then as winter encroaches you can polish stuff like crosswinds on a short soft and other more interesting stuff. That's just my take though, probably not correct way to go about it.
