  • how much on average is it to maintain your license? I am looking to get a recreational permit and wondering how much it would be, I am a canadian, but id assume it would still be a ballpark figure for americans cool video!

  • @MrRockinrocker Well really it all depends on how much you want to spend and fly a year. If you are asking how much it costs to get your license you are looking at spending around $6,000 average. I wouldn't waste your time with the recreational license, just go get your Private. It's only a little more work and you have a lot less restrictions then the recreational.

  • Very cool vids. Were you aiming for the 1000ft markers? How long have you had your license?

  • I was aiming for the Runway Aiming Point Markings which is right where I touched down. No since in making a short field landing because it would make for a long taxi. I've been flying since I was 14 and i'm 22 now so i've been licensed for a few years now.

  • I flew a cessna 172 yesterday. It was so cool. The control is very sensitive but its cool when you set on full throttle and level your alltitude. You get a good feeling in your body!

  • Yea the C172 is a great aircraft, very forgiving. It's hard to put the C172 in a situation where it can't recover on it's own including spins.

  • straight and level pulling 130kias?! What is done to this plane?

  • I love this plane and this song

  • @MrRockinrocker The only reason you should ever get a recreational permit is if you are too young to get your private, go for your private the rec permit is a huge waste.

  • nice

  • Clinton, Ontario??

    

  • @FloridaIsWhereItsAt Good luck!

  • @aviator06 but if you join air cadets you get your pilots licence for free

  • Nicely doen. Radiotraffic=cool. You guys in US are lucky, here in EU the rules are more strict. Enjoy! One day I'll fly with you.
