SLF@LBA, all very good advice, would add that time spent waiting for that 737 or two to land keeping you at the hold will do you no good at all when you feel a bit down (and you wil at times). The answer is, to try to get an in between field one with plenty of "good" RT but not so busy you get to know every bit of tarmac during your ppl, not easy I know but such places do exist....with a bit of luck within travelling distance for you, best wishes....you can do it!!!!!
