A room at least an hour before the scheduled start time. Don’t waste a minute of this one hour setup. Organize the room and locate any visual aids you may need.
Bring a model airplane. cFI Bootcamp uses the Cessna 172 1:42 scale models. You can get them on Amazon for around 20$.
Bring marker pens and an eraser.
Bring any video cables and adapters the rooms video equipment requires. Don’t rely on WiFi so an HDMI or VGA cable and adapter to your computer or iPad is important. Most equipment support one of these inputs.
