mazzy1026,

The groundschool subjects will fall into place, just like the flying.

There are two ways to study.

You can beat yourself to death trying to understand everything in the books, or you can learn the answers to the questions.

Many of us could not pass the PPL exams if we had to do them tomorrow.

The knowlege gained either way will only become aparent as your flying skills develop.

Try to get some flights with other pilots, and if you can, listen to the radio (ATC, not radio 1) as much as possible.

My first lesson was 30 years ago just last week and I still love just being in the air, it is still one big adventure, we are all just kids with bigger toys.

Many pilots seem to give up after a couple of years, I think some just did not have the passion to begin with.

Flying should be fun, its not normal, its different, so enjoy it.

Continue to post here (you WILL be insulted) there is lots to learn from others and I am sure you have lots to give.
