Once again thank you soooooo sooo much for everything. I passed my written test for my private and just listening to you youtube videos You have changed my life in just 1 week just by being passionate about the very 1 thing I hope to be as knowledgeable as you are... My wife already thinks I'm cheating with you because I talk about you and the site all the time. She even wanted to ask you "what are you wearing Jake from State Farm" lol. Will be talking to you shortly thanks again.
I'm a private pilot (got my certificate 3 years ago) and have been slowly working on an instrument rating since then. I'd known about PE for quite a while but hadn't pulled the trigger signing up because I didn't feel my sim (or my skills in it) were up to snuff. I finally took the plunge a few days ago, did a couple CAT ratings and decided to try the I-1 last night. In a spot of luck you were the controller for my flight! (I was [callsign removed]) Since I'm still fairly early in my training that was my first time copying a clearance or flying 'real' IFR. I was so nervous about that first flight. I sat there on the ramp for must've been 30 minutes thinking through the calls and prepping avionics for that simple little flight. I couldn't believe how realistic it all felt. I was overjoyed when I passed the I-1. It really helped boost my confidence and I can't wait for my next flight. My instructor is gonna lose his mind when we do our IFR cross country and I handle the radios like a pro.
I can't thank you enough for this tool, for your real world IFR series, and everything else you do to promote safe flying. (Also for being patient with me when I missed part of the CRAFT and forgot to ack my approach clearance)
Seriously, THANK YOU!
I took my discovery flight/1st flight lesson today. My instructor told me that I am the first person that he has met be able to get into a plane for the first time and be able to handle all coms. We went into our local Class C airspace and he had me handle coms the whole time. I have you guys to thank for that, so even through all the grief I give you guys I really do appreciate you. Thank you!!!!
