Scott-

    You'll beat me in the long run, and I've had my SEL for years, the kid's 

out of the house and I'm just starting on my panel!

Congratulations! Now comes the fun part: you can go flying and not have to

worry about whether you're advancing your education toward the ticket.

Randy:

It was a long day.  I got asked a lot of questions about safety and I was quizzed a lot about using a sectional chart.  For the practical part, there is a free download from faa.gov called "Sport Pilot Test Standards" or FAA-S-8081-29.  It has all of the requirements.  Sooo my advice would be to study the FAR/AIM with an emphasis on the AIM.  Make tabs in it for the different sections that apply to safety.  Study your sectional charts and don't forget the legend area - study the legend - and lastly, read the SPTS over and practice the maneuvers with your solo flight time.   



Jon Croke asked me to write an article for the upcoming Zenith Newsletter so I will do that and include a lot more detail.  



Thanks Randy and take care,



Scott.
