Those who can't, Teach

Well I guess that means I cant fly

I went down to the PWM FSDO this morning, and got my temp AGI.

On a side note I think there are more people at the FSDO that know my family, than don't. The person that signed my temp gave my dad his Saab type rating many moons ago.

Congrats. Glad to hear you got out of the FSDO unscathed, although doesn't sounds like you'll ever have any of those kind of problems at PWM

OldTownPilot · September 20th, 2007, 19:30

We should make shirts that say "I survived the FSDO" much like the roller coaster ones in theme parks.

Ethan, Whadda think for the gear monkey store?

PWM was quite painless, quite unlike Surreal's experience with the ATL FSDO.

We shall see how painless PWM really is if I take my CFI ride in a year or two.

I just realized I think my temp cert is messed up.

The name on the top goes Middle First Last.

I'll have to call back tomorrow. I just hope this doesn't mean another 300 mile drive at 6am.

Congrats Justin!

The lady that gave you the temp certificate gave me my FED ride.

SUPER nice lady.

Good job on the AGI stuff.

I like it. I might just have to get one to wear in Vegas.

Just kinda curious, how much do you make off that store?

BobDDuck · September 21st, 2007, 01:12

Nothing so far. I've had the thing up for 2 years now and have sold 3 shirts. One to my mom (charged cost). One to my sister (charged cost). And one to my sim partner (bought him a beer when he worse it the first time).

I have it set for about $2-$3 profit per shirt.

GreenDayPilot · September 21st, 2007, 02:16

Congrats... weren't you a PPL not earlier this year or am I getting you confused?

BobDDuck · September 21st, 2007, 11:29

You don't need to be a CFI to be an AGI.

OldTownPilot · September 21st, 2007, 16:37

Heck you don't have to have a PPL to be an AGI

GreenDayPilot · September 21st, 2007, 16:49

Yeah, I figured.... but I couldn't figure why someone w/o a PPL would want to be an AGI

ya really can't fly or what?

beechpilot · September 21st, 2007, 17:00

Awesome job man,

Now when you go back for your CFI you'll know pretty much what to expect in terms of what their oral exams are like.

OldTownPilot · September 21st, 2007, 18:15

I can fly, I was just using that phrase for the thread title.

I got my AGI because the school needed someone to teach the ground school that starts on Monday, because we don't have a full time instructor.

I'm 2 cross countries, night landings, and some instrument time from my PPL.

Oral exam, huh? Didn't have one. I was in and out in 10 minutes. (There is no oral for the AGI)

Becareful around these parts. . .some people don't think private pilot's should be termed Instructors in any way shape or form. . .much less student pilots. . .

But hey - I'm glad to see some people giving you congrats.

So - Congrats!
