How many real pilots here?

[jasonfriedlin]

Just curious as to how many of the members here are real pilots, whether it be recreational or ATP?  FSX has taught me alot about flying that I use in the airplane.  Its a great instrument trainer, really is helping me out with the procedures and shooting approaches

Depends what you mean by 'Real Pilot' ive flown 5 different types of aircraft but im not a 'real pilot' yet unfortunately although i know there are a few on here

I'm training for my Private Pilot License.

I have my PPL with about 200 hours in many types of single engine aircraft.

Yo. Eighteen* hours into my PPL. Hopefully I'll finish it up before I leave for the navy.

*Scratch that. 19.2 now. I forgot about my cross country the other day.

Of all the "BPB to death" queries we get here, this is the only one I like.

I slogged through my PPASEL over nearly two years, and the only "official" milestone since then is the addition of a tailwheel endorsement.
PP-Glider will follow before this season's over...I've been collecting add-ons to my certificate and collecting aircraft types (well, sampling them anyway) a great deal the last few years, since I got back into flying after a long hiatus. Been having a lot more fun than I did before the hiatus, as well...

I have really slacked off with the flight-simming, which is a shame because getting into FS9 is part of what drove me back to real-life flying...but I still enjoy it, especially flying planes I will not likely ever get to fly in real life.

Speaking of which *cough*, my real-life logged-time list so far is impressing me, if not everyone

... and very likely, this Saturday I'll be adding the Ford Tri-Motor to my little list...

LOL I was thinking about how neat that would look in a logbook.

On a fun semi-related side note, I may have some stick time at the controls of the MetLife blimp in two weeks. Now THAT would look spiffy.  8-)

FAA PPL-ASEL, with Instrument Rating and Complex endoersment...

[Mobius]

How do you know when there's a pilot at the party?


He'll tell you. 8-)


PPL-ASEL in 2003 and instrument rating last summer, and I'll find out next Friday whether I will be medically cleared to strap on the T-6 Texan II next year (or the year after - I can wait if I have too).

How does a pilot screw in a light bulb?

He just stands on the ladder; the world revolves around him.
