RE: learning to fly
You may eventually encounter the IRCHA Pilot Proficiency Program (PPP). When you go to the IRCHA site, it is confusing and I had trouble finding downloads in .pdf form. A while back I found them (these were written in 1998) so I've uploaded them for you in this note. I did finally find a link to .doc files, but that presumes you can read MS Word files. Meanwhile enjoy these. The system gives you goals to shoot for and new maneuvers to try.
Here ya go.

ps - I think they uploaded. Should be seven files.
