me again....
Thanks for all the posts so far!
Whirly has a point... I was 34 when I took mine and was "only" a house wife and mother at the time. I had been out of school for at least 15 years, thus studying was a bit hard. Especially with the technical parts, any guy (or gal) that already knows lots about car mechanics, etc. has a natural advantage. Air law is difficult because a lot of it has no relation to "practical" flying... (who cares where the ICAO offices are located!).
An interesting point I've noticed (unless I missunderstood postings I have been reading here and elsewhere)....before and after JAR it was/is necessary in Germany to have ALL writtens accomplished before being able to fly solo cross country, especially the radio (RT). Isn't that true in other JAR, or non-JAR countries?
