    Question about what type of plane

    If you can afford it and are planning on moving to the Cirrus anyway, having all that extra time in an SR20 for private training will make you a much more proficient Cirrus pilot.

    Garmin G3X has a better and bigger display that is simple to read, simple to lean (and use lean assist), and is fully integrated with all your Garmin equipment. JPI is good, but if you are getting a G3X, pay the extra money and get the EIS installed too.

    What is the best way to study for the Instrument Written Test?

    The IFR Written doesn't add a lot of practical value to the actual IFR training. A lot of outdated material, especially if you are flying a glass panel airplane. I tell all my customers, get the written done before we start IFR training and I will teach you everything you need to know about...
