He has about 30 days before class starts and has the standard stuff an airline sends you, i.e. limitations and memory items.
Any other suggestions as to practical stuff he could study? I know sim/plane time with a CFII would help a lot, he knows it too and he'll decide what his budget can handle in that respect. But practical book stuff, I dont know what else other than the FAR/AIM and basic instrument stuff to study?
Any suggestions?
Which regional picked up your friend who hasn't flown in 11 years? I am in a similar boat, haven't flown for many years and looking to get back in. I would like to apply to that regional. Thanks!
