REFLECTOR: IFR Test Prep course

[David Rene Dugas]

The more one knows and can apply the better. Yes the written is a pain but it does test knowledge base. As a surgeon it is important to have the anatomic and physiologic knowledge and the technical ability to apply that knowledge. Both are important. Then one adds experience and wisdom. It applies equally to flying. I suggest "all of the above" is the best answer. Be all you can be. Strive for excellence.
