There are a lot of people here making it harder than it has to be.
Flight starts when I get out of bed? Hell, which time? If I hit the snooze button is that split duty? What do you call the ATO then? Your holiness? Oh great knowledge-able one? Please don't say sir, although it would set you up well for QF. And Verbalising everything? C'mon guys.
PB,
There are so very many differing opinions about what to do and you cannot possibly follow them all as quite a lot tend to be contradictory as you can see. A mistake that can happen early on is over-confidence . It is best in the early stages of flying to try and keep your mouth shut and ears open, unless asking questions. I try and follow my own advice as much as possible, helps prevent foot in mouth syndrome or removing all doubt as it were. I have seen quite a few young hot-shots humbled very quickly by their big mouths. If you approach your flying with an open mind and undying determination, you will succeed, but no-one is mistake free.
Good Luck
