HI all I am going to start training in a 172 under part 61 in the very near future. I am going this route mainly because this is the only school in the town that I live in and amazingly enough out of the six schools in my general area they are the only ones that even called me back!!! I've never worked so hard to give someone my money!!! anywho.... I was wondering if ya'll had any advice you earned in the hindsight is 20/20 department. Like don't bother doing this or I wish I would have done that kind of thing. On a side note every one in my area uses Jeppesen. My brother gave me all his Gleim's books. Does which book you use really matter? My instructor says he uses jeppesen though he didn't say gleim's was bad or anything, can I still use my Gleim's books? or does anyone out there want to trade a set of Gleim's books in good condition for a set of Jeppesen
