Becoming an Official Student Pilot

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!!!
