ADDITIONAL PASSWORD SCREEN (Only appears with some Internet Service Providers)  Some ISP's cause this additional password screen to appear whenever a different .MP3 File is selected. If this screen appears, you should choose to remember this user name and password, because that will save you from having to enter it each time. This is not a security problem, because authentication was already verified by the previous screen. |

WRITTEN TEST Most FAA exams cost $90 per test, and are administered at CATS (Computer Assisted Testing Service.) You can call to schedule an exam. The phone number for CATS is (800) 947-4228. All you will need is a written authorization from an instructor, in order to take the test. I, or any CFI can write you an authorization, after talking with you about what you learned. You will also need a flight computer, a plotter, and a calculator. Your written test is good for 2 years. That means you have to get you license within 2 years after taking the written test, or else the test expires, and you have to re-take it. |

Why does the security alert screen tell
you that the the name on the security certificate does not match the
name of the site? The following screen appears when you enter the
catalog or shopping cart pages. This is because I am sharing a
certificate with my web hosting company. I do not own my own
certificate. By sharing a certificate with my web host, you get 128-bit security
during the time of your enrollment.  |

| Index | In order to enroll, you have to create an account, by filling out the user information screens.
