1. Study for the written via King Schools and other written material for about 3 months. (Also, had to wait until 8/28/18 so that I could do COM check ride in 172. I have the 10+ training hours in TAA) and 10 plus in Mooney.

2. Booked a full week of accelerated flight training in AZ. 2 weeks before I head out here I go for 3 flights with a CFI to get used to flying a 172 again and working on basics, spot landings, maneuvers.

3. Take written the day before my flight to AZ and pass easily.

4. Get to AZ and on Sunday start working on flight training. Me and instructor had a pre-arranged plan and we implement it upon arrival. Every day adjusting for flying and ground work.

5. Took my check ride on Friday and passed. I was prepared for oral and flew the ride very well.

I feel that pre-prep and studying and a clear plan during the week made it possible.

It's my opinion that I could do the same for the CFI!
