I've been sort of nervous all day. I've been taking flight lessons in Connecticut for about 3 weeks and tomorrow I take my FAA exam which consists of a written exam and a cross country flight in a Cessna Skyhawk 172 from La Guardia (NYC) to Ainsworth Municipal Airport in Nebraska. I wouldn't be so worried about failing if the damn training didn't cost $6500. It's honestly the written part I'm worried about. The Flying is extremely easy, with Air Traffic Control and autopilot guiding me most of the way. The exam is about 18 pages long and covers all of the rules and regulations for Visual Flight Rules (using my eyes to fly the plane) and Instrument Flight Rules (Using my instruments to navigate).
Anyways, just thought I'd share the reason I hadn't been posting a whole bunch.

That's cool. Do you plan to be a pilot when you're older?
Having never seen your experience with flying a plane, I have the utmost confidence you will pass tomorrow. navi;
Seriously though, if you're confident about the actual flying section, and studied a bit for the written portion, I think you'll do fine (read: good enough to pass).

Sweet Jesus im scared.
That's cool. I've always wanted to get a small aircraft license -- I've been in the cockpit of a Piper Super Cub once before, and a Pratt & Whitney Beaver a couple times when my dad flew a lot. Pretty fun.

Yeah, it's not that uncommon.
Some kids in our middle school can fly, or are at least taking lessons.

I'm driving to the airport in 10 minutes powerofone;
But yes, you can learn to fly a glider when you're 14. 16 for an actual plane.
Just want to let everyone know I've landed safely and the ground crew is fueling up for a return to Queens.
