I have a CFI that I am working with on my SEL add on to my commercial, instrument, rotary wing ticket. His schedule is busy as is mine. I prefer to stick with one CFI but due to scheduling I am thinking about calling others to get my time in. Is that advisable or should I stick with one...

I have my commercial/instrument rotary wing certificate. It is old, from when I was in the Army 23 years ago. I want to get my fixed wing, private pilot's license. I have forgotten just about everything that I learned but feel it will come back quickly as I get into the books on the ground...

I am trying to get back into flying after many years. I had a heart stint about 1 1/2 years ago. Everything is fine now and my doctor says he doesn't see any problem with getting the SI but that it could take anywhere from 1-6 months to get a reply from the FAA. What has been your experience...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have reviewed many of the suggestions and it doesn't look like I will pick just one! Never hurts to have a small library of good flying reference material. Thanks again.

to recommend for a new fixed pilot wanabe what would it be? I have the FAR and AIM manuals and some Jeppesen training books but looking for an easy to follow, fun to read book that explains much of what the other manuals will cover. I plan to begin my training within the next month. I have...
