Thank you Bill. I committed to the accelerated training because I'm one of those guys that easily goes adrift and loses focus of the big picture. I started my training back in 1999 in my fathers 172 and my instructor signed me off to solo at 11 hours. Was I ready to solo? Heck no and when I think back to that day, I'm suprised I survived. (Grin) I've been flying ever since though and over the years have immersed myself in ground school training and pretty much review it all and repeat the process every year or so. Mainly, in the crappy winter months when our runway is covered in snow.
I'd recommend an accelerated training course for someone that has some hours and experience under their belt and are having a hard time completing their goal. Sporty's and Hal Sheevers were great! They allowed me to park and camp in my RV in the parking lot and even gave me a key to the building for after hours. The main thing I needed when I went was some hours with a CFI, my X-country flights, night X-Country and landings. Prior to going, I had 200+ hours in various makes of aircraft. RV's, Mooney Ovation, 172, 182, and a slew of LSA's. So getting it done in the time frame I was there wasn't that hard for me. I think the toughest thing was acclimating myself to using a control yoke again instead of a stick.
The next thing on my list is a tail wheel endorsement, then instrument. (Sorry if there's a bunch of typos. Typing on this Ipad is a pain in the rear!)
