Newbie with questions...

Mike,

I can't add to what has already been said. But regarding your vision - I
wear trifocals. when I took my vision test I looked at the chart through the
wrong lenses and I couldn't see anything. The technician wrote down some
horrendous number that essentially said "I was blind". Well, the Doctor
worked with me and we finally got myself correctly adjusted with the machine
and once I was using the correct lenses all was well. Point being, when you
take your medical, make sure you look at the chart with the correct lenses.
Oh, one more point, if you have to wear glasses, your medical certificate
will have that stipulation on it.

Hi there,

After seeing a commercial on TV for pilot's lessons, my childhood interest
in flying was renewed and I want to make the jump into flying. How much
are
lessons typically and the license fees? Once your done with the
certification, how do you access a plane? Do you rent, lease, buy?
What's
the price range for all of these things. Would it ever be feasable to fly
yourself somewhere else for a vacation for a week, or would it be too
expensive? How noisy are planes? Will I need earplugs?

Sorry for so many questions. I'm just excited! If these questions are
highlighted in a FAQ, please point the way.

Oh, and I wear glasses, monofocal about -2.5 diopter plus astigmatism
correction of about 2.5 as well. Will this be a problem?

Thanks,

Mike
