Sorry about the late reply - I haven't logged in here for a bit ..yeah I completely understand what you're saying.. I have flown into YSCB and YMDG a few times and yes you do get close to the hills (especially runway 30 for YSCB) ..
Yeah I have rescheduled the exam to January ..it will give me enough time to study and get it right! .
PS: I just gave my first CPL exam - Aerodynamics ..and passed it..so my confidence is back!
