Hi Ian
Glad to hear it's going well. The cat-ash-trophe prevented my well earned holiday, but I have managed to get up a couple of times this week. Nailed straight and level (Ex 6) so about to start on 7 and 8 in the next week.
I'm training at PFT in Kidlington - sorry - London Oxford Airport. Great facilities, lovely people, nice place to fly around.
Agreed on air law - dryer than a Ryvita sand sandwich. I was told, a little bit at a time. Also, one tip I got from an instructor - read a couple of pages last thing at night. It'll have a better chance of getting into your brain that way (apparently) - certainly helps you get off to sleep!
Good luck - and keep us updated.
Tony
