...........just quickly seeing as Nathan is the flavour of the month here. I attended his full time ATPL course some years ago now. I can still recall the very first day in class, at the first tea break I simply went up to Nathan & said "I think I've made a mistake here, this is far more than I could possibly handle (not having been studying for many years)" He simply said " Relax, you'll do fine".
Hence I went back to my desk scratched my head & studied like there was no tomorrow. Passed it all after 5 weeks & I owe Nathan a great mental debt. The systems exam wasn't too difficult for me (although it was for most on my course) having had an engineering background but the bloody flt planning !:-)
