Thanks Dip!
yeah im aware what the medicals are like, having held a class 1 for commercial flight training previously. And how annoying casa can be with time frames! Luckily ASA have given me plenty of time for when they want the pre-start stuff completed by.
I plan on quitting my current job to leave me 2 weeks work free, which should give me enough time to do those studies that you mentioned, however havent been provided with them yet.
Good luck!
