There are other documents to view as well, such as the Airman Certification Standards, which spell out the specifics for each level of pilot certification. https://www.faa.gov/training_testing...est_standards/

For the instrument rating, you'll also need the Instrument Flying Handbook.

That’s incomplete.
Traditionally, as in since WW2, the flight training states are all the southern states from California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida.
If you look up the statistics on the FAA website you’ll find California and Florida are alternating #1 and #2 in certificates issued.

Yeah, the PETA people were hammering them for still listing the glue made out of the serum from horse blood that they used in WWI fighter aircraft.

Aerolite (caesin) had a long term history and was until recently still being sold and used in experimental operations; I've attended some wood aircraft seminars in recent years, and a few still continued to preach it, but it's fallen out of favor as it does tend to deteriorate and can decompose organically. Present guidance states that it should be considered obsolete. Same for plastic resins. Also until fairly recently a popular choice.

FAA material is much easier than the EASA stuff. You'll do fine.
