AOPA. If you find any other sites please pm me what you find. What test are you taking? Private? Written? Oral? Flying?

Here's a good thread, click (http://***boat.com/forums/showthread...t=pilots+house) The tests aren't so bad if you study.

Pilots of America has a pretty good forum...
If you haven't already, join AOPA, we need more members to fight user fees...
And please, tell us a little about what you're studying for.

Nice timing on this thread for me. I'm starting my lessons next week. Has anyone flown out of Compton? I've looked at Fullerton and Chino. Compton is the closest airport to my business. Any info would be appreciated.

I am assuming private? and are you looking for info on the written? oral? Probably both.
I don't know of online. AOPA is a great resource, as you can search FAR/AIM instead of thumb-through.
I just did my IFR close to a year ago. The biggies then, for oral ?s, were (still) airspace and CFIT.
Lots of people still blowing into airspace that they are not cleared for. Especially VFR. GPS allows for so much direct flight, that lots of people forget about C & B airspace(s).
CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) is more of an IFR deal, but more than 80% is VFR pilots. The examiner that I went to was real big on CFIT.
So, know your airspace limitations, know how to read charts and where to find the symbol legends. I got the King Checkride DVD for both the Private and IFR, and those really helped.
