Sport Pilot Talk

Hi Group!

A few weeks ago I introduced myself as a new member. P.J. Davis - Freeland Maryland. I am 20 miles south of York, PA. I am 1/2 way through my PPL - 23 hours flight time. When I enrolled I set up my 3rd class Medical. Before i went I learned that an SSRI I was on was on the approval list - but the hurdles were great. I went to my prescribing doc and he agreed that I did not need to be on it any longer. So I am scheduled to see him on 9/13 - the 60 days period period - I have no doubt he will sign off. My med AMeE appointment is 9/22. However, I have a mild case of C.O.P.D. - smoking - in the last 2 years my results have improved! But now that is a problem. So it makes sense to cancel the appointment and stop working toward my PPL and go sport. The school I flew with now is sport qualified but does not have an LSA to fly. There is a Chesapeake Sport Pilot (have been scheduled previous to this issu)e to do an intro in the RV-12 next Tuesday. The problem is they are quite a distance. So I can't seem to find a school close by to has sport. So I am asking the group if they know of any.

P.S. I am not on any meds nor use an inhaler for the C.O.P.D.

Thanks!

Head East from York on Route 30; Lancaster isn't a bad commute, and you can get trained in a Bristell at Liberty Sport. Or, come North to Lock Haven and fly with me (I've had several students from York do that).

Hi Gang,

So here is the update - today I flew an RV 12 at Chesapeake Sport Pilot. I was impressed how easy the plane was to fly. I did not take off or land as there was a pretty strong crosswind out of the north on runway 29 and I never fly a stick before! Really neat plane. On thursday I am going to Liberty Aviation in Lancaster to fly in the Bristell. From there I will make my decision of which school to fly with. Next friday I am meeting with my Pulmonologist and then send my records to AOPA to see if it is.....In between I am flying my regular lesson at Carroll County Airport - 172s.

Today I flew the Bristell at Liberty Sport Aviation. What a great plane - based on the plan I will continue my training there!
