PPL; Instr rating/SE/ME

What's up guys?

No longer interested in flying professionally. I've resigned to the fact that I will never realize my dream of becoming an ATP for a Part 121 carrier. Hopefully, with the new Chief Psychiatrist for the FAA, a favorable decision to acquire my medical will be given. As I approach 60 yrs of age, my aim, hope and goal is to attain my ppl, instrument rating for both SE & ME...personal/pleasure flying.

Currently, I teach Math & IT Coding at a local school in Palm Beach County. Looking for to being able to fly to either Nassau, ORL, APF and other cities in Florida for the weekend. Wish me luck.

Can't help with schools in FL, but good to see that you're getting on with it.

Once you get a 3C then you can just do basicmed forever, right?

Absolutely. It's all good rickair7777. I had to get past the disappointment and accept that flying professionally was not coming to fruition.

On the other hand though, being able to take family members, my close buddies, or my lady friend, or just to go by myself and fly anywhere in Florida, Georgia, or somewhere within the southeastern part of the US...priceless.

Well the kids will be coming into homeroom any minute now. Thanks for being a friend. Ttyl
