- booking out (ie at the departure airfield)
- obtaining met info
- common ATC departure/enroute/arrival calls
- classes of airspace
- circuit procedures
- low flying rules
- what constitutes VMC?
- ATZ existence/dimensions
- is PPR generally req'd at smaller airfields
- is anywhere completely off-limits (civil/military airspace, major int'l airports, Mexico (!))
- I never had to book out of anywhere
- WX-BRIEF extremely useful, will give you all the wx u need and can do ur FPL if needed
- there different so read the FAR/AIM (LASORS equivalent)
- generally the same, altho no overheard join and different calls
- slightly different I think but nothing major
- Different again read FAR/AIM
- Not actually sure, I think there different, so read up again
- PPR generally not needed, you can fly into most strips and no landing fees
- yea some places are off limits, but if you talk to ATC they might let you cross any problem airspace.

As you can probably see your best bet is to get a copy of the FAR/AIM and read up on the important stuff. Its been a while since I flew there so am sure if I've got anything wrong others will correct me.
