So here's my question: I was told that because I hold multiple commercial pilot ratings and have a few hundred hours under my belt (in the grand scheme of things, this is by no means a lot btw), I get to skip a few Navy flight courses. Is this one of them? I mean, I wouldn't mind boppin around in a C172 for a few days. It's one of the cheapest planes for spin awareness training and I love spinning planes, but if all they do is get you to your first solo it seems a little redundant for those with a PPL or higher. It sounds like IFS makes you get your private pilot license from the FAA. If that's the case, Gleim, ASA, and Jeppesen, all make great publications with the entire FAA test bank published for you to memorize. I used Gleim for my private and instrument, and used ASA for my commercial, FOI, and FIA. Both publications are great.
