Ten questions.

[John Baker]

I had a CFI who suggested I look up and answer ten questions a day, every day. He claimed he had been doing it for years. He now flies for American Express.

I have also being doing it, not as religiously as he claimed. I will get sick of doing it and knock off for a week or two. Even that short of a break shows up when I start again, which of course is the motivation to be more disciplined about it.

I use http://www.exams4pilots.org/ and another one http://www.risingup.com/tests/

It usually takes about five minutes. I keep the necessary stuff, E6-B, protractor, test book and calculator at my computer. This guy, with more than a few thousand hours, still does it every day. I'm sure he has more advanced questions than simple private written, nevertheless, it's a great habit no matter what level you are at.

John, not a propos of this post, but is John Baker your real name? Related to the former AOPA president of the same name? Total coincidence?

He now flies for American Express.

As in the credit card company?

God, I must have been tired last night. FED EX, he flies for Fed Ex. I hate credit cards, I don't know why I did that. He flies a Cessna Caravan for Fed Ex.

John Baker is my real name, I am not related to anyone famous that I know of.

Great idea. But I would add another goal of reading a flying related book monthly or quarterly as a way of staying fresh and deepening your knowledge as well. Re-doing the FAA test questions will keep that information in the quick recall banks, but I think it's even better if we can go a bit deeper.
