First steps
Hello all,
Thank you for the help. I'm meeting with an instructor and flight school to map our training and costs. After calling around several airfields (its nice to have options) I think I have the right spot (up in Marin County).
I have a few emails out to insurance companies, a few people I have chatted up seemed skeptical whether I could even get insurance as a student or low time PPL for the p337, so I am checking on that as well.
The school I'm checking out first has some real veterans, who teach cause they love to fly, in a couple of old instrument rated 172's without the fancy glass. I figure I can learn the basics and then if I'm raring to go I can sort out a plane along the way, possibly in training.
Overwhelmingly people encouraged me to start before sweating it too much. So that's where I am taking it.
I really appreciate the thoughtful replies and general encouragement. I'm sure I'll be posting more questions, and hope to contribute similarly in the future.
