part 61 or 141?
I am less than 2 weeks away from my first lesson. First off I made it clear to the CFI that I intend to do a home study program, instead of spending a lot on a study kit, and do computer based programs. For this reason he recommended the part 61 program... He told me to purchase some Jeppesen items. When I added everything, for an extra 30 bucks or so I could buy the entire 141 kit, so that's what I did. In other words, it was cheaper for me to buy the entire kit. Now my concern is, should I change my mind and go for 141 instead? I understand that it does not make a huge difference at this point, but am I better off in a 141 program in terms of saving money and since I have the 141 kit? Don't I have to do an extra 5 more XC trips in a 61 program? Also would I end up spending a lot more for ground school in a 141? As of now I am signed up for the 61...
