What about the yoke vs stick ?

I live in London Ontario and I'm currently looking at flight schools . Can anyone comment the pros and cons of learning at Diamond with a diamond aircraft vs a Cessna that most traditional flight schools use and what would be the better route.

" The flying will cost you $165 an hour with an instructor and for solo flights the cost is $115 an hour plus tax in a Cessna 150 and in the Cessna 172 the cost is $203 an hour with an instructor and 148 for solo most lessons are about one hour long "

that is part of an email I received

I was told my lessons will be roughly one hour but if I would like I could have two hour blocks. If my lesson is One hour would that be one hour towards my total flight time or more like 1/2 hour because of ground briefing and walk around of the aircraft ect. I apologize about the simplicity of my q...

I have to do my radio test tomorrow or Monday. I work the ramp at an airport and it is required. The book I was given to study isn't very big and basically just tells you how to properly say numbers heh anyone know how many questions on this test?

Good Info guys! Thank you all for the help so far!
I plan to rent the 152 for all of my private and then move up to the 172.

How much do encore pilots make? When I was working a ramp job I was pushing back a q400 and I now forget the specifics of the conversation we had but I was making more then the pilot lol

haha thanks tips!
The question was where do you guys buy yours. Not how can I search google for everywhere that sells them.

where do you guys buy your log books?

Interesting how everyone kind of has a different outlook on it. There must be a set guideline on how it's supposed to be logged correctly.

so essentially its somewhat like the honour system. I know I am getting ahead of myself here lol just love having some background knowledge so I grasp things quicker when taught. I know my log books from when I was driving truck were audited from time to time.

I have went up in a Cessna a few times with friends and felt a rush and knew I wanted my licence ever since. Saved up quite a bit of money but like Andy said maybe I should save just a bit more before I start so I can stay consistent. nbinont would you recommend doing the ground school at the school...

I understand and in the future I will keep my questions to one thread. Thank you for the response's. I have been doing a lot of researching and have a few things I wanted to be clear on before I go spend the thousands hah I apologize for my new guy posts :) Thinking of waiting until March as the wea...

Generally, flight instructors will try and get their students to go to a ground school course put on by the FTU. But, it is up to you as a student to figure out which option will work best for you. Some people have a hard time with self-directed learning, which makes the classroom environment more ...

Thank you and of I don't plan to cheat hah actually wanted to make sure I don't.

I just didn't think it would post hah other forums will put *'s.
Anyways didn't mean to offend anyone.

Is this course a good idea to take on my own or will my instructor point me in the direction

Okay was talking to a couple pilot's today and they were making jokes about there hours and how you record them yourself and how they may or may not cheat. They discussed rounding up and such. My question is can someone give me a quick run down on what log book I should purchase and how recording ho...

I have a few friends who train at X ( not going to bash any company ) This Flight training School would be convenient for me. Today while asking some friends questions they basically told me half the instructors are @$$holes lol this discourages me from wanting to go there. I will be driving to St T...

What airplane should I choose for my training a 152 or a 172
are there any major advantages or disadvantages?

Great, I will call them and set up a time for a Discovery Flight!
This time will be counted towards my required hours?

Fair enough.
Any tips or tricks on how to be more prepared or just start going to lessons and learn hands on.
