sure, know how to use a multi functional display...energy circles, anything you like.

but, if I had 80 hours in a C152, besides shooting myself in the head for pain relief, I would do the following.

I would fly, VFR across the country and back...from the west coast to the east coast...all that cross country time will come in handy leading to both commercial and atp.

I would look out the window and see how things look...the patterns of the midwest, the mountains of the west the gross congestion of the east...stuff like that will help you when things aren't so electronic.

no, I don't think someone will hand you stop watch in the sim check...but you can play with an ''app'' in your house...but learning from doing is something that the plane will afford.

you aren't instrument rated...you might even harm yourself by ''teaching yourself'' the wrong things.
