Can anyone shed some light on the value of having accumulated flight hours before reporting to API? I can understand the obvious advantages of already knowing how to fly, but I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether or not you see the majority of people coming in with significant hours doing noticeably better. I've got my private pilot, but only around 100 hours accumulated (reporting to OCS 189). I know this is looking a bit down the road seeing that I've got OCS and TBS ahead of me, but any info would be much appreciated.
-on a similar (i guess) note, is most of the math and physics used learned at API, or do you continue to expand on it throughout primary, int, etc... I took some serious calc classes in school, but looking through this Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators book has already got me thinking.
