Masshole asked:
I’m a licensed Private Pilot and am beginning my instrument training soon. What is the best book to help me prepare for the FAA Instrument Pilot Written Exam? I’ve bought the Jeppesen Instrument Commercial Manual but isn’t there a study guide similar to the one Jep has for the Private Pilot written? (that particular book helped me score a perfect 100 on the written exam for my PPL)

I want to have a switch that controls an outlet up in eave that a heater for de-icing will be plugged into. I want the switch to have a pilot light so I know when it is on or off. I also want this switched outlet to be GFCI protected. How would I go about installing this?

3. Should you go to Aviation school, and if so, what schools are good?
4. What are the age requirements?
5. What are the hours needed and licenses you get?
6. What is the price from start to actually becoming a pilot?
7. Should I go to Regular College, and if so, what courses are best?
8. How hard is it to actually become a pilot once you have the hours?
9. What is the income of a commercial pilot?

If I missed anything, please tell me. I want to know as much as I can about becoming a pilot. Just kind of tell me the routine of becoming a commercial pilot. You can answer some of the questions or all of them. Thanks.

Also, any websites that will help me out with what the budget of it is. As I’m from the UK, only UK Sites please if it has prices.
Any site please if it has a lot of information about it all.

Shorty asked:
My husband has his private pilots license and we ran out of money for him to finish so we are getting him through school in aviation management. I want him to follow his dream and be a pilot. What are some possibilities other than the air force? (He is already thinking about that) I really want us to be able to live a normal family life and see each other. What careers as a pilot would allow for that?
