Finished my private fixed wing certificate today. It has been a long yr and half working towards it, but got my cert today. Now it's time to move on to my commercial Heli cert.

Thanks guys. It's costed me a many of brown hairs and converted them to gray. Or it may be just getting old  but it's a blast even though I'm scared of heights and turbulence, but I have fun every time I go up. I'm pertty sure my commercial rotary will giv me many more gray hairs, but it should more fun than fixed wing. At least ill b able to rain hell from above on them porkers  once I get it. |

So what can you do with this certificate?
Go get a couple of them famous $300 hamburgers, steaks or salads. I'm limited in what this cert will allow me to do. “§61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft. (b) A private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. (c) A private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of a flight with passengers, provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees. (d) A private pilot may act as pilot in command of a charitable, nonprofit, or community event flight described in §91.146, if the sponsor and pilot comply with the requirements of §91.146. (e) A private pilot may be reimbursed for aircraft operating expenses that are directly related to search and location[…]” Excerpt From: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “2014 FAR/AIM.” Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., 2014-03-27. iBooks. |

Thanks justin. Just found out today that the possibility of becoming a whop whop pilot may not be a pipe dream was told by 2 different employees that it has been done. So now I gotta tRy and get a $30,000 loan to fast pace my Heli training and roll the dice and hope I can get hired as stick wiggler so I can start repaying my loan.

U r 100% right on that. I enjoy flying, it has taken me a while to get where im at, and i realize i enjoy so much i wanna do it for a living. But my current job and company are so good, for the first time in many many yrs, i enjoy getting up and going to work. I couldnt ask for a better work crew and employer. But back to ur state of time being worth it. Its taken me 4trs to get hired on with company. So patients is paying off. Now i just hope i can fly the same company. If i can, then i think ill be happier than a pig with a trough full of fresh slop |
