The private pilot license requirements are broken down into a few different sections. In most cases you will see something like this:

40 Hours Total

20 Hours Dual Instruction

10 Hours Solo

Now in other places you may see some added information

3 Hours Instrument

3 Hours Night

5 Hours Solo Cross Country

Now this is correct and the FAA regulations for the private pilot license do state this. The things that are missed are all of the areas of operation within these requirements. Many times the student doesn’t realize what is exactly required, this can add up to more flights if something is missed by the flight instructor. The worst case scenario is this is picked up by the pilot examiner on flight test day.

If you have read over my Private Pilot License Cost section you can see that I break the cost down the same way. This is because you have to realize that there is a lot of subject areas that need to be DOCUMENTED. If they are not documented in your logbook you are not qualified for your flight test.

I can’t tell you how many stories I have heard from examiner friends of mine about this. It happens all the time on flight test day. In many cases the flight instructor is nowhere to be found and the student has to reschedule the flight test. This happens so often that I made some special sections in my book called ( Keeping Your Instructor In Check )

So I will point them out to you so you can double check your instructor. Once in a while a student of mine will remind me of something, even after 20 years of doing this. Better a week before the flight test than on you Private Pilot Flight Test Day.

The above requirements for the Private Pilot License are the Minimum Requirements. Within these requirements are a lot of subject areas.

In addition to the Aeronautical Experience Requirements ( Flight Time) There are Aeronautical Knowledge Requirements. Most people just look at this is the FAA written Test. You have to realize that once again your instructor has to DOCUMENT each of the subject areas. The FAA is starting to get very tough on this. If these subject areas are not documented on flight test day, the examiner walks out. Hopefully your instructor is somewhere to be found but if he/ she isn’t, then you will have to reschedule your flight test.

I will outline all of these Private Pilot License Requirements for you and try to make it as simple as possible. So like my cost estimates I will break everything down into:

Private Pilot License, Pre-Solo Training Requirements

Private Pilot License, Post-Solo Training Requirements

Private Pilot License Flight Test Requirements

Private Pilot Requirements

The reason I do this is so you can get an idea of what you are required to do at each stage of your training and then what is required for you to take your flight test. There are a lot of things to learn so my advice is to plan this process out before you spend a dime flying.

Hope to See You In The Sky

The Thanksgiving holiday is the peak travel time of the year in the United States. If you’re looking to rent a car, you need to start looking now, especially if you’re going to need a minivan or large SUV.

Many car rental companies have rate specials going on right now. The goal for them is to get as many cars as possible, booked in advance. These specials will not be available for long. As soon as cars become less available, the prices will start to soar. For any car rental, but especially on Thanksgiving, the longer you wait to book, the less cars available, the higher the price you’ll pay! It’s the old law of supply and demand.

Here are some tips to help you find a great rate on your Thanksgiving car rental.

1. Start by going to a booking site like Travelocity, Vroomvroomvroom or Expedia. Find the lowest price on the car you want to rent and write down the name of the company, the car size and price.

2. Go to that company’s website, or call their toll-free number and check the rate (for the same dates, times and vehicle). Check to see if they have any “specials” or “deals”.

3. Use a discount code, if you’ve got one. There are many membership associations that offer discount codes for different car rental companies. You can find a list of discount codes at Best Car Rental Tips. See if you can get the price lower than you found it on the booking site. If you can find a coupon to use… even better!

4. If you find a great deal, book it! Unless you are asked to provide your credit card number, you can always cancel the reservation later if you find something better.

5. Get a reservation number or confirmation email. You many never need it, but it’s best to have it!

6. If you find a better deal or decide you don’t want to rent a car at all, please call and cancel your reservation. That way the company will be able to immediately put that vehicle back into the system, so someone else can rent it.

Remember to drive carefully, and have a great holiday!

Beziers - BZR

Aeroport de Beziers Cap d Agde is the snappy name allocated to this very new airport in the Herault Department.

Situated 10Km East of the large town of Beziers, just off the N112, this airport is very handy for the seaside resorts from Cap d Agde west to Narbonne Plage. Also the villages around Pézenas are within easy reach.

Access from the A9 motorway is best made via junction 35. It is also possible to use junction 34 but the airport is not signposted from here and in summer this section of the N112 can be very busy indeed.

Beziers Airport Car Hire

Four car hire companies have set up kiosks in the terminal building: Avis at Beziers Airport: Hertz at Beziers Airport; Europcar at Beziers Airport; and National/Citer at Beziers Airport.

If booking a car on-line, make sure that your pick-up location is definitely Beziers Airport not Beziers city centre. As you exit the terminal building you cannot see the parking area for hire cars. It is at the far right end of the public car park.

Beziers Airport Departures

Departures are as hassle-free as arrivals. As you enter the modern, stylish terminal building, the check-in desk are to your left, clearly marked.

Embarkation is right next to the check-in. There is only one scanner and one arch so this part of the proceedings can be a little slow and queues can build up. They do appear to have addressed the priority/non priority boarding mayhem by using separate gates for each.

Beziers Airport Taxis

Beziers airport taxis can be found situated just outside the terminal building. Normally taxis will be waiting there but if not, the information desk will call one for you.

Beziers Airport Buses

The local Chamber of Commerce has made a large investment in Beziers Airport hoping to make it the airport of choice for visitors to the nearby coastal resorts. To this end there are two Beziers airport buses operating to and from the airport, one into the city of Beziers and one to the resort of Le Cap d Agde. (Summer months only)

Beziers Airport Parking

At the moment Beziers airport parking is free. It is right in front of the terminal leaving only a very short walk from your car to the building. (Or vice-versa) Free luggage trolleys are available in the car park.

Beziers Airport Bars and Restaurants

There is currently only one bar/café in the terminal building, situated in the centre between arrivals and departures. There is a good selection of sandwiches, cold drinks, coffee and beer available at Beziers airport restaurants.

Beziers Airport Shops

The nearest you get to a Beziers airport shops is a magazine rack and a display of paperbacks located at one end of the bar. The magazines are in French but most of the books are in English.

Beziers Weather

The occasional thunderstorm reminds us that nature is never entirely predictable but they are soon over and holidaying continues apace.

Have you ever been to Niagara Falls and ride the lady of the mist across the Niagara River? We all love to travel and see the other side of the world. Traveling is no longer exclusively needed by business people. It had become a recreational idea. It had become a need in modern society. Traveling brought people together and closer.

The Thanksgiving holiday is the peak travel time of the year in the United States. If you’re looking to rent a car, you need to start looking now, especially if you’re going to need a minivan or large SUV.

As soon as cars become less available, the prices will start to soar.

Here are some tips to help you find a great rate on your Thanksgiving car rental.

1. Start by going to a booking site like Travelocity, Vroomvroomvroom or Expedia. Find the lowest price on the car you want to rent and write down the name of the company, the car size and price.

2. Go to that company’s website, or call their toll-free number and check the rate (for the same dates, times and vehicle). Check to see if they have any “specials” or “deals”.

Despite the massive leap in fuel prices during 2008, rumours of the demise of the budget travel industry may prove unfounded. Indeed, it may be the scheduled airlines that have more to fear as travellers turn to budget airlines in an attempt to seek cheaper alternatives.

In an era when people have become used to flying off to a host of destinations relatively cheaply, those habits may now prove too hard to break. So, rather than give up on air travel altogether many travellers are turning to budget travel options to reach their destinations. Similarly, passengers are shortening the distances they wish to fly in an attempt to reduce the cost of travel, opting for more short-haul destinations at the expense of long-haul journeys.

Over the last decade there has also been a gradual decline in the amount of package holidays booked in the UK. More people have opted to construct their own ‘package’ using the internet to book flights, hotels, travel insurance and their own airport transfers or car hire, paying less for the component parts than buying it as a packaged bundle from a travel agent.

As a result of that shift in buying habits many more UK travellers are booking their own flights directly with the airline, usually through the internet. But, recent turmoil in the holiday industry may see that trend reversed as holidaymakers choose to opt for guaranteed, ABTA bonded packages. Those who are likely to lose out will be airlines that offer expensive tickets as opposed to cheap carriers.

Those who have not been turned off by independent travel should be aware of how to protect their purchase should anything go awry. Credit cards that offer purchase protection should be used, and of course there is the option to buy travel insurance at the same time as paying for the holiday or flight. Many budget carriers offer one-off insurance as part of the online booking process, but it may well prove cheaper to buy elsewhere. Savvy travellers often get a travel insurance quote from a number of sources before booking so that they can instantly compare prices and check whether the carrier’s offer is competitive.

If a traveller has to cancel their trip before setting out, then travel insurance will enable them to recover the cost. And they also have the benefit of being covered against injury, death and theft while on holiday. Even though incidents may not be totally unavoidable whilst on holiday at least travel insurance will give peace of mind to the insured parties.

Despite the massive leap in fuel prices during 2008, rumours of the demise of the budget travel industry may prove unfounded. Indeed, it may be the scheduled airlines that have more to fear as travellers turn to budget airlines in an attempt to seek cheaper alternatives.

In an era when people have become used to flying off to a host of destinations relatively cheaply, those habits may now prove too hard to break. So, rather than give up on air travel altogether many travellers are turning to budget travel options to reach their destinations. Similarly, passengers are shortening the distances they wish to fly in an attempt to reduce the cost of travel, opting for more short-haul destinations at the expense of long-haul journeys.
