Thanks for sharing your experiences with your son's flight training.
It sounds like he's well on his way to becoming a certificated airman.

Naturally, there some differences between operating an Apache and a
PA28; the latter only requires carburetor heat if there is an
indication of carb ice. Dennis needs to get a copy of the Warrior
POH, and familiarize himself with the differences.

What's Dennis doing about getting his written exam out of the way? He
should be studying the Gleim books:

already. I presume Dennis has a Student Pilot certificate and has
been logging his Apache PIC time. How many hours does he have logged
now?
