Pre-takeoff checklist
Done with the IR.
Now its time for the CPL.
I'll be working on the CFI right after that.
I have 200ish total time right now, and as far as I can tell - I'm done with all the XC, long XC flights I need for the rating.
50 hours in a complex airplane.
I'm trying to figure out the smartest (read cheapest) way to do it.
I read that I need 20 hours of practice in 61.127. Which includes a lot of stuff that's been done in the PPL.
Does this mean I can say - "done on PPL/IR?"
Where are the shortcuts?
Also, I think I read about a few pilots who have taken the CPL in the right seat, what are the advantages of doing that?
How hard should I study for the written? Any recommendations for something online? Other ways to study?
I want to knock it down pretty quickly if I can, and if I don't have to spend a fortune on it - that will be great.
How did YOU do it, what would be the smart thing to do? How should I use my time (in the air and on the ground)?
Thanks!
