Sport Pilot Talk

Hello, all,

I'm an old private pilot who let his medical lapse many years ago. I've been thinking about getting back in via the sport pilot license. Hope to get to know this forum very well.

Welcome to the Sportpilottalk.com

Welcome!

Where in NC?

Welcome from SC!

Nice to have you aboard, Sandy. We have a bunch of relevant threads for you to browse under Medical Issues. If you haven't flown in a while (or if you haven't flown LSA), you will want a flight review, and should consider transition training. If you want to take a 3-day vacation to Amish country, come up to Lock Haven and fly with me:

There's a really nice B&B just two miles from my office, that gives a generous flight school discount.

Welcome! You "landed" in the right place. Hope you enjoy the site!

Thanks, everyone, for the responses. I had forgotten how tight of a community pilots (and builders) can be. By the way, I live in Youngsville, NC, just north of Raleigh.

If your journeys take you west, feel free to stop by Copperhill, TN. Its only a few miles from NC, but still a "fur piece" from you.

Decent Mexican food in town if that's any incentive!

You never know. I'm always up for Mexican and we go to Boone/Blowing Rock every Thanksgiving.

Hello there,
I am a little further East of you near Greenville
05N is South Oaks Aserodrome
We have instruction and a couple of planes to rent.
Would love to have you come over and join us sometime. We have a couple of trips coming up as well as meetings and cookouts. If interested email me & I will send you information on events.
Hope to meet you soon !

Hello. I also live in the Raleigh NC area. If you are looking to do some sport pilot instruction, B Bar D Aviation in Sanford NC is a good place; ask for Jim.

I second the referral for Jim.

Level head, safe, calm...

this is kinda late, but there is also Total Flight Solutions right next to you in Louisburg. They Have a Remos. $80/hour dry + $50/hr instructor.

Hi too from another sport pilot in SC!! Just south of Charlotte.

There are some great discussions here and some experienced folks who give great insight and advice.

Please let us know how you progress with your sport pilot flying...pilots helping pilots is what it's all about!

Cheers, Howard

Thank you all for the responses. I'll keep you posted on my progress. It will probably be slow at first as I have to get my wife to agree.
