I recently found my mother's name in the FAA registry as a PP-SEL.

I knew she had taken lessons and she had a Piper Cub solo
certificate, but I was unclear if she had gone all the way to the
certificate. It's pretty cool to find out your mother was a pilot.

I'm trying to envision what the program was like in 1946... I'm
guessing it was much simpler not having to deal with mountains of
FARs, airspace, electronic navigation or even radio.

Does anyone know what the requirements were in those days?

No, but I picked up a 1948 logbook at the
flea market and leafed through it. The only
difference I noted was spin training early
on.


Yeah, much of the stuff students are learning nowadays is straight out of
the need for training pilots and lots of 'em for WW2.


if it ain't broke...
