Well, first of all, since you're new, you should start with short flights in the c172P. Get a feel for how it handles at slow flight. Learn to control altitude with throttle and speed with pitch. Then, move on to patterns. Then, move on to VFR cross-country flying for both the day and the night, using dead reckoning with pilotage checkpoints. Then, learn radio nav. Track to a station. Intercept a fix. Track a localiser or ILS. Once you have done this, you may want to continue making your way slowly up to twin prop and finally jets. Then, learn how to use the route manager. Then, setup a route from KSFO to EGKK that follows jetways, and has a waypoint about 20 nm out from the threshold with a turn of no more than 30 degrees to final, just to keep things simple.
