 Re: Becoming a pilot?
Welcome to JC. This is the best place for newbs. I would suggest you go to the home page and read all the perspectives articles to learn how others did it.
I'd look for other alternatives to Sporty's as any big name like that is likely to be pricey. Look in the phone book for other small airports in your area and look for flight schools. Then, check their websites or do a google search for more information on the net. Maybe some other locals who are JC members can chime in.
As far as the medical, you're size/age isn't an issue. Nor is the fact you wear glasses. You can do a search in your area for "FAA medical examiners" and see what comes up. Again, maybe some locals have some good advice. As to what they look for, do a search for FAA part 67 and look for 3rd class medical standards. Pretty much, if you are breathing, you are in.
