Line Up and Wait
Hello friends.
I'm finally, after years and years, going to have both the time and the money to get my license. When I start, I want to be as prepared as I possibly can be. I want the only thing standing between me and my FAA checkride to be flight time and those skills that can only be perfected while you're in the plane.
I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan. I have the "Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge" and am currently reading that. I know a lot of the material—mainly the stuff I'm interested in—and I'm trying to learn the rest. So, in addition to reading the book, what else can I do to prepare for training? I have X-Plane flight simulator on my laptop, so I can do a little bit of flying (with the mouse). I usually have internet access. I can't really order any more books, as I have very little room in my ruck suck to store stuff. Can y'all think of any other things I can read/watch/listen to/do?
I actually started flying a bit before I deployed, but I only got about six hours or so before I left.
