What would YOU eliminate from the Private Pilot training curriculum?

The current required material for airman certification (Private,
Instrument and Commercial) seems appropriate. Students might also
benefit from exposure to FAA Orders 7110.65* and perhaps some of the
FSDO Inspectors' related orders**. It also makes sense to make FAA
Advisory Circulars*** more readily available (free of charge) to
students and airmen by having those publications at the located FBO
training facilities.

Much of that material is covered in the Aeronautical Information
Manual, but I still believe there is significant benefit in depth of
understanding by reading the actual orders and circulars.
