I know a guy from back at UVSC that paid for it; then he really didn't like it much. He and I went on a time building trip to KBOI and I got flight following, and suggested he get flight following on the way back, we stopped at KSLC for a few touch and goes; after the flight he was perfectly comfortable. If he had stumped I was there to assist. You might try this out with a CFI or just someone wanting to split time.

It's basically a traffic advisory service from ATC while en route. You will be in constant contact with ATC, you will also overhear high altitude pilots (Airlines, Corporate, etc) and you can absorb a lot that way. If you’re just starting out, you may be getting ahead of the game a tad but it’s never to early to practice.

It works great, but only the really cool guys use it.

I got it for the IFR and it helped but like the other poster stated actual is the best . I'd still suggest getting it. Allows you to concentrate on one task at a time. In the plane you have to fly write and read back. At the begging stages that your at this will help.
Good Luck

That seriously cracked me up. What does that go back, like 20 years?

Yeah, from the 80's. Wasn't sure how many people would recognize that movie clip. I am starting to notice a generation gap with myself and some on these boards, and I've realized that I'm turning into my father.
