I have a lot of time before all my documents are cleared for the FAA. I was wondering what things I should be doing or studying, to help me prepare more for the (what I expect) rigorous training program. Don’t know what the best resources are to help me study for this but my guess would probably be Youtube and flight manuals.
Colin,
If you’re planning on training with ATP, I wouldn’t spend a whole lot of time (or any) on YouTube or the manuals. The manuals will have little context and the last thing you need is to learn bad habits from people not in the program using their “techniques”.
Without question the #1 best thing you can do is complete as many of the FAA Knowledge exams you can prior to training. This will seriously lighten your burden during the program.
