I have the plan to get my license. I’ve actually been interested in aviation all my life and now it fits. I could afford it without having to make any sacrifices elsewhere.
I was motivated and then almost canceled before the first training flight. But it was good, I’m sort of talented (as the instructor said) and I had fun, so I got everything in place to start my training. The theory learning works, I got a headset and everything was settled to start with the flying lessons.
Shortly before scheduling the first lesson, I started to have doubts and I told myself that I take a break to get my head clear. It suddenly seemed very dangerous and I thought about whether I really wanted to invest the money or the time and what will I do after I got my license. This is my usual reaction to fear. I no longer think clearly and look for reasons why something is not as good as it is.
I actually know why I want to do it. I’m interested in everything with an engine, want to get an IR and I want to see Europe in a different way. But there are really two fronts fighting each other inside me right now.
Did any of you also have such thoughts during your training or did you get through it without any doubts?

This is really is linked to my possible aircraft purchase and eventual aircraft registration. It would appear that an ‘N’ reg. would be better in terms of maintenance flexibility, but then I would need an FAA licence based on FAR 61.75. I’ve just read that for an IR to be included via 61.75 I will need to sit the FAA IR exam. With 3 months of EASA study still fresh in my mind, this fills me with dread. Has anyone done this test or gone this route? How easy / difficult is it and how much study is required to get back up to speed?
From here and here and here and of course the many threads on this I wonder if there is a correlation between aircraft type and the owner personality.
There is an obvious one with cars, and a lot of other stuff.
One huge factor in this – for any product – is the marketing, which tends to be pitched to address particular personality types.
For those of you that are UK citizens or residents, looks like a good petition, if you like airfields.

I see that nobody has created a thread for last week-end, does that mean that nobody went flying? Because I did :-)
