It's taken up a lot of my time, when things calm down a little i'll book some more lessons but at the moment i'm reading a lot so i'm never at a standstill, I like to think a week never goes by where i'm not a little closer.
I got law and RT, what would y'all recommend next? Met?

I don't know how often you fly but a word of advice which was passed on to me by my instructor/examiner.....

You get 18 months from the date of first passed exam to pass all the exams. When they're all done, you get 24 months to complete your flying.

Leave one exam outstanding - I'd suggest Human performance & Limitations as it's so easy - then if you are hit by a crisis in your non-flying life which may prevent you getting "up there" you haven't started the flying clock ticking.

As for what to do next... How about Aircraft technical?
It may be a biggie but I did mine early as I wanted to know what I was doing in the walk arounds. If I'm going to fly it, it made sense to understand what I'm looking for when checking it especially as I'm not in the slightest bit mechanically minded.

So far I've got Air Law, HPL, Aircraft tecnical, & Flight performance and planning. I'm in the circuit so I'm working on RT at the moment and planning to do Nav after. Met will be left until about Aug next year (may be earlier if my once a week lessons are progressing nicely).

Happy studying
MG
