Tips on flying in the USA?

Hey

I'm heading out to Phoenix, AZ in approx 1 months time for some hour building with Chandler Air Service.

I am a relatively novice PPL with only some 90 Hours and the actual thought of flying across the state in a foreign country i'm finding quite daunting!

Would anyone like to share some helpful hints/tips they found when flying in America, preferably around the area I am? I've been told by many it's a lot simpler than flying VFR in the UK but I'm taking everything I hear with a pinch of salt.

The aim is to build up hours towards my CPL hence I do not really want to blow holes in the sky and I don't really want to let my flying skills deteriorate or some bad habits to seep in. I'm aiming to achieve 50 hours over 2.5 weeks

Cheers,

Lewis
