Re: Ready for Air law?
Stuff concerning real flying is quite simple.
What just about nobody (including most instructors) can remember is that huge matrix of privileges in different classes of airspace, clearance to/below/above cloud, speed above or below 140kt, etc. Luckily most of it isn't relevant to the real world (because there's nobody up there watching you).
I think a lot of PPL students get frightened of controlled airspace because they have always been told to keep out of it no matter what. My instructor told me that if I ever call up Gatwick on the radio they will give me such a bollocking that I will never want to fly again. In reality, one just needs to ask for a transit, and as often as not one gets it. Outside the UK, one gets it a lot more often than not.
