RE: Your Piloting Progression
I agree with STG about the sim practice. Use it daily BUT do so with a purpose. Its so easy to sit down and lose track of what your trying to accomplish on there. I always go from flying precision to 3D to stick banging. I have to keep making myself focus on what I have sat down to accomplish. I found a cure for me is to fly for about 10 min. at a time. Grab the IMAC sequences and work your way through them and you will become a better pilot from using the sim.
