I am now, at least by the FAA, recognized as a student pilot. Getting yourself a medical and student pilot certificate are the first steps to becoming a pilot. Many people don’t know the process of getting a medical or what it is for that matter. I’ll admit, I wasn’t very educated on the subject until after I got mine.

A funny post I found off of AOPA’s Member Forums:
Sally: “Every year hundreds of children from around the world are afflicted with a paralyzing disease. Shiny-jet-syndrome. SJS.”
Although you can begin flight training at any time, the FAA doesn’t recognize you until you register as one. When you apply for your very first medical, you also apply for a student pilot’s certificate. That’s what I’ll be doing on Thursday after school. I am going to visit Dr. Urban, my new AME (Aviation Medical Examiner). I would love to explain the medical process but I’ll leave that to another day, when I fully understand it. Anyway, this Thursday, October 30th, I will officially become a student pilot. Thanks for reading and wish me luck!!!

Here we go. It’s been way too long since I’ve been behind a control yoke. That is all going to change on Saturday, November 1st, 2008. This morning, my father and I drove up to Wilmot, Wisconsin, a 45 minute trip, to visit the Westosha Flying Club.
My father and I will be taking a trip up to Wimont, Wisconsin to visit the Westosha Airport and their flying club. I would like to talk to an instructor about the switching over process and some other questions about their curriculum. I’m really looking forward to visiting and I hope this airport will be considered my home base. That would be nice. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!!!
