I only ever made one because I received a request to be interviewed by the FBI and needed to get some intel about the agents that had contacted me. But maybe that doesn't count since I didn't use my information to do it.

Go for it!

The knowledge that you will acquire about weather, engines, map navigation, radio navigation, radio communications and principles of flight have broad applications in life in general. And you will meet some of the coolest “switched on” people in the process.

With a little bit of natural ability and the requisite ground school hours, you can be soloing after a dozen hours of dual instruction and take a shot at your ministry PPL flight test inside 100hrs of solo time.

The thing I love about fixed wing aviation is that like many interesting pursuits, it is a “feel” activity. Knowing the critical speeds and performance characteristics of your airframe, but then becoming part of the air mass and making almost subconscious adjustments for your takeoffs and landings.

One thing that I found super helpful when I was getting my student pilot permit was that I already had a decent simulator set up on my PC.

I had MS Flight, and then later X-Plane, with the actual aerodromes and airstrips on it that I was flying into and out of in live training. After a dual instruction session, I could go home and drill the exact same flight 20 times, saving a lot of dual instruction and aircraft rental time and fuel cost. In preparation for upcoming new lessons, I could do the same.

When I did my first simulated forced approach with my instructor, I had already done it many times at home on the sim. In the exact plane, from the same airstrip.

I did my first solo flight after only 12 hours of dual instruction. Was I nervous? Hell yeah. But I felt prepared.

Activities surrounding aviation and parachuting have been the best parts of my life.
