Hey Ken-
Thanks for the welcome. Thought I would update you. Since I have zero hours and the 150day fast track would be my option I went ahead and scheduled a discovery flight at a local flight school up here just outside Norfolk, VA. Went up in a practically brand new skyhawk with a glass cockpit, only had about 20 hours on it. Thankfully I didn't have to jump, or be pushed out of it. I loved every minute of it.
The time just flew by. The instructor, a retired navy pilot, had me do some turns and get comfortable with feeling whether we were climbing or descending without looking at the gauges. It seemed like we were only up a couple of minutes before we headed back to land. I wanted to go back up and do it again and can't wait until I get the chance to.
Anyway, I read in one of the coach's forum that ATP won't take you until you have 2 hours. So, would I need to go back out and schedule more time? Also, the website says that they you would have to successfully fly a flight simulator. I would assume that is just to check that you have a least some ability and not just crash anytime you took the controls.
Thanks,
Tyson
