For anyone else reading this, do not get discouraged by this guy's NSS. It's in a very high percentile range. I had a much lower NSS and got selected for NASK.
Also as far as foreflight, IPs were issued tablets recently. But I finished primary a month ago but no word was given about students using it. Would be nice though because it would be a money saver.
edit: just my two cents on having a PPL with 130ish hours coming into primary. Primary and API/NIFE does a really good job teaching you EVERYTHING you need to know. I haven't flown a Cessna in over 3 years in my first T-6 flight. I was kinda rusty but what probably set me from students was mostly the confidence factor.
To clarify as well. I had no prior flight time. Maybe an intro flight and a lesson here or there but I had no ratings nor had I ever really done more than have a CFI demo a few things to me. So you can go from zero absolutely. Looking back in hindsight though, I do wish I had had more exposure to aviation. Would have made my life a bit easier, but it is what it is.
Sucks about the foreflight thing. TW1/2 Studs can now use ipads from day 1 as of january. In any case the FMS in the T-6 is great, that nav page is an absurd SA builder, and the cockpit lighting is much better than the shitty T-45 anyways.
