    Best Pilot Poll #3

    They're better at what they specialize in. I'm sure an Alaskan bush pilot is better at flying in and out of tiny strips, but the Fighter jock would eat him alive in BFM.

    Need Emergency Ideas for Training

    Next up - Commercial and CFI

    Can't stress this enough! I used the ASA books for my Private/Instrument/CFII written tests. I purchased the commercial materials from shepard and it cut the time needed to study down immensely! I decided to keep using them for the FOI.

    Overhead break?

    Intensive flight training thoughts

    I'd do commercial single before multi, then go to someone like this http://www.traverseair.com/multi.php to knock out the multi commercial. Both of these after the IR obviously.

    You will want to get at least your Private before you graduate, which shouldn't be a problem as you have time.
