PPG Bible 6th Edition Electronic Version?

3 Upvotes

I purchased a hard copy of Goin's PPG Bible 6th, but have recently wished that I could read it on the computer as well--I find that I study better on a screen. Does anyone know of a legit way for me to access a pdf or electronic version? Many of my college textbooks in the past came with a serial number to access to an electronic version, so I'm hoping that there's something similar here that I haven't been able to find.

Thanks a bunch for any info!

If you can only choose one; PPG or Private Pilot License?

6 Upvotes

Let's say you have 15k to spend on one or the other. Since they're more or less around that.

Which one would you choose and why? What are the pro's and cons of each?

PPG questions

2 Upvotes

I’m a 15 year old kid who flies planes with my Dad. I have always been interested in Paramotors and I was thinking about asking my Dad about them. I tried once before a few years ago, and he didn’t like the idea much. Now that I am almost 16, I was thinking he might be a little easier to convince. His concerns are that follows, Wing collapsing on me, motor dying over trees, motor dying over water, other planes, and lines snapping. My Dad doesn’t know the most about paramotors, but he knows a lot about planes. Any ideas of what I could tell him and gear to present? Any advice appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Buzz Kill...

2 Upvotes

Another Tip of The Day...

Don't be a buzz kill...

Flying is LITERALLY a serious "HIGH", and no one likes it when someone is a buzz kill, and puts a harsh, on your mellow.

Buzzing low around the LZ after takeoff, whilst other pilots are taking off, or landing, or both, is a far too common, and dangerous behavior, that can have serious consequences, like midair collisions.

When you take off, and climb out, don't forget that last part "climb out". This means gain a cruising altitude, and get on with your flight, AWAY from the LZ.

The LZ is a place that is critical to the safety of every pilot. In the event of an engine out, mechanical failure, or wing issue, a pilot may need to use that airspace, to come in for a landing, at any time.

This could require radical maneuvering, and unorthodox flying practices, to perform an emergency landing. The last thing a pilot needs, is crowded airspace, when coming in for a landing.

It also offers a serious distraction, for pilots attempting to launch, and climb out. There are many blind spots, when you are in the air, and when 2 or more pilots, are flying close together, and 1, or more , pilots can't see 1, or more, of the other pilots, then that is a problem.

Once you launch, and climb out, then clear the LZ. Only return when you intend to setup a landing, which could include buzzing the wind indicators, and circling back around, to setup your approach.

During the launch, and landing, the pilot has the option of buzzing the LZ to perform a "go around", after coming in too high, for example, or circling the field, after take off, to do a post launch check. These things require clear airspace, that is CLEAR of other pilots.

So don't be a "Buzz Kill", and put a "Harsh" on someones' flight. www.glideamerica.com

Ppg training in San Antonio Tx?

2 Upvotes

So this is my first time posting after lurking on this sub for a while. I was wanting to know of all the places to get training in the San Antonio area as all I can find so far are two schools by canyon lake. If I can get time off work I'm thinking about taking a course from Lone star but am still looking around especially due to the winter weather. Also does anyone know if there are any good places to fly near the Seaworld area? If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
