I agree 100% with Keygrip.
It's amazing how many students I see who pass Air Law with very good marks, then go solo and move on to navigation. Soon after they start navigation, we get a day where the weather is very slightly dodgy, so I ask them what the legal minima for this trip would be. Or I ask them to plan a route through controlled airspace, and they do not understand how that is any different to uncontrolled airspace (sometimes they even thought it was impossible).
The very best students, in these situations, know the answers, but that's quite rare. The average or better-than-average student remembers reading this stuff in Air Law, and can probably find me the answer if I point him in the right direction. And then there's the students who have learnt the subjects from the Confuser, who have absolutely no clue, which usually results in me having to give them a long briefing (for which I don't get paid, by the way) on something which they supposedly have already learnt.
