One chapter down in CP written test prep.

One chapter down (basic aerodynamics), nine more to go. Lots of
highlighting. Good thing that I bought that new 4-pack the other day.

So far, so good. I've had a few "Um...I have no idea" thoughts as I read
through and attempt to answer the questions. I definitely plan to read
through relevant chapters of a CP text or buy the FAA publication
FAA-H-8083-25, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. I'll be
borrowing my partner's Gleim CP text and brushing up on the aerodynamics
stuff in short order. The stack of books continues to grow.

I've found a couple of websites that look like they'll be good
candidates for practice tests. I haven't tried either of these yet but
plan to do so fairly soon.

It must have been a bad day at the ASA printing facility as my FAR/AIM
showed up with a 25 page section upside down. Kudos to Amazon.com
though. The return process was painless. They paid for return shipping
and had a new copy to me in a matter of a couple days.

It's not all books/no flying. I'll be learning some of the commercial
maneuvers from one of my partners who just recently earned his CP
certificate.

Next up: Aircraft Systems...
