Keep working on those crosswind landings, as you really will need them when you qualify (otherwise you'll never get to fly)
Yep, that's becoming more & more evident every week......

What type(s) are you training on?
C172SP

What exams have you done?
Air law 19/10/07
Met 30/11/07
Human Perf 22/02/08

Like I said, it's getting there, slowly. I'm told that:
- Nav is fairly tough, mainly due to time constraints in the exam, so loads of practice exams required
- Flight planning/perf is fairly straightforward
- Aeroplane technical is easy enough but there is lots to learn
- Comms (written paper) is easy, could possibly do it now but would prefer to leave it until I have more experience.
I am using the confuser + airquiz practice exam website, have also been listening to an R/T CD in the car.

Read the book in one week, hammer the revision the next week, take the exam.
Yeah, I've read everything through twice so far, then did all the examples in the book, then did all the examples in the confuser, then did as many online practice exams as possible. So far I have only had one question wrong in the 3 exams I have sat - am I possibly over-studying?
Will be several more weeks before I am ready to sit the nav exam.
