PPL Exams advice and guidance :)
Hey,
So I am now 25 Hours into my PPL. I have only Passed Air Law at the moment which enabled me to fly solo the day after my sixteenth birthday, I carried on flying once a week for about a month after and then my instructor suggested that I slowed down because I would have been ready before I turned 17. Up to then I was flying at-least twice a month and everything was going well. So in the last six months I have probably only done about 6 hours (off the top of my head). I attempted Met in the summer and failed with 70% and since then I sort of turned my back on the exams as I had put in hours of work for the Met exam and still failed. I now need to get a move on with the exams as I turn 17 in June and would like to complete my PPL in the summer when I can work full time and afford to fly on a weekly basis. I could do with passing Met and Nav soon because with spring arriving I will be flying regularly again. I still need to do my Solo XC, and build up at-least another 9 hours solo time.
My problem is I don't seem to get on with books. I have to read and re-read many times for the information to sink in as-well as testing myself a couple of times on each topic. I don't mind doing this but it is very time consuming considering I am trying to study AS-Levels as-well as having a social life. I have looked into buying the Oxford PPL CD's but before I spend a couple of hundred pounds are they worth it? For me it seems a no brainer because I feel learning from something a little more interactive may just be the key!
Thanks In advance,
Greg
