Well after returning from my tour last week I'm going with FSI. I've sent in my application and should start the private audit in September. That's the plan anyway.
I have a few questions maybe someone could help me with:
1. I haven't flown much in the last two years. I went up once about a week ago to see where I was. I'm a little rusty on landings but overall I still remember what I'm doing. Should I spend a few hours getting back up to speed before starting? I know in the quote they gave me it's suppose to include 5 hours of dual for orientation and gauging my level of competency. I'm just not sure if It's needed to brush up before starting.
2. Get a GPS or not? I know a lot of people would say not to get one. But I've already down the cross country flights the old fashioned way. I just think it might be a good safety feature to carry along until moving into the fancy new Seminoles with the color moving map GPSs.
3. How about a portable transceiver? Do any students carry them?
