At this rate I'll have my PPSEL around the year 2055. Someday I want to end up bumming around the Bahamas in a Caravan on amphibs. You suckers can keep your aviation careers. I could make more money selling crayon art on a street corner. |

ATP I skipped all the other shit and told the Feds "just gimmi my jet license or yur fired"
Sorry, but I think technically speaking, to claim "flight" you have to be able to exert control in an upwards as well as downwards manner. If you ever get a positive VS, you probably did something wrong. Leaping from a perfectly sound aircraft is only logical if (choose one): (1) The aircraft is on fire. (2) Captain Mohammad starts mumbling something about abu ackbar (3) Your pockets are stuffed with cash, and Feds are waiting at your destination. (4) You've got jump wings and a calling to preserve freedom.  |

It is only a good career for those who have a passion for it. The payscale is inverted. Flight Instructors and freight dogs have all the risk with little pay, while the Airline or Corporate pilots get good pay with little risk. Btw- how much do you make selling crayon art? |

Slightly off topic, but for you plane and helicopter guys, which is the easier method to learn both - plane then helicopter, or vice versa?

[constitutionalist/militia/freeman, whacko] The skies belong to everyone. You don't need a license to fly. The freedom to travel is a right, not a priviledge that can be regulated by the Govt.[/constitutionalist/militia/freeman, whacko]

If you want both certs, learn helo first, you have to be able to finesse the directional pedals (helo)/rudder pedals (fixed wing), and helo will make you learn the control a bit better. |

I would disagree here. Knowing certain skills in a helicopter can get you killed in a plane and the reverse is equally as true. That said alot of the things you learn are the same and it is a whole lot cheaper building the skills up at Cessna 152/172 prices ($100 per hour) than at R22 prices of $260 an hour. Once you get your Private fixed wing license, Rotorcraft is then just an add on. That said I still started with helicopter just because I really wanted to fly helos first. However instrment will be fixed wing first as R44 prices are $460 an hour! |

Just got home from three days in the simulator. Don't know if I'd do it all again. I love the flying part but the business part wears me down sometimes. I'd make more money selling BMW's...
