If you stick with this, you'll learn to blame yourself, not the aircraft, weather, ATC, FBO, instructor or whatever. The plane eventually landed, so it's a matter of some detective work to figure out how to land it well.

I still think it was well worth taking the full depreciation in one year (a program which ended last year). I was able to reduce my taxes by an amount equal to three years...
I wouldn't worry about the cars, if you can conquer the float, you'll feel better about coming in a little steeper. I never had a problem with a 172, but I float the Columbia 400 if I'm not right on the numbers. I will move the flaps from landing to takeoff position as I flare if I'm a little...
If you form an llc owned by the s corp, you can have the llc buy the aircraft, then you have to pay the llc for your personal use of the plane. Personal use includes training. I was advised to not put anything related to planes or aviation in the llc name, but planes are an audit magnet...
