Cessna CBI Kit

[MiragePilot]

I was wondering if it would help for me to purchase the Cessna Kit a few months in advance to doing my flight training. The thing is I'm going to college and plan to start flying in the fall when i'm on break. I'm doing an accelerated 2-3 week training for my private license. let me know what you think
Thanks

PS Do they change the kits very often as i dont to purchase something that would be useless a few months down the road.

What comes in a "cessna kit"? I think all you need is the little 172 or whatever you're going to be flying in type of manual. Learn the speeds, W & B stuff, systems, and you'll be set. A good instructor will help you more than anything. Read some of the FAR questions posted on this site and that will help you learn a lot. Have you already taken your written? if not i think the easiest way for your written is to highlight the answers and just look at them over and over again. Read the question once or twice and then just study the answers. If you ground school/instuctor is good you don't have to worry about memorizing every little thing it will come to you. good luck remember flying supposed to be fun don't stress yourself out over some little item you'll probably never use again.

For your written books, they change only a couple of questions or reword them every year. The basics of a cessna don't change unless they put in a gps or new equipment. Save your money and go to fbo's and talk to other pilots who will probably give or sell you there old books for the fraction of the cost.
