I have to echo 2 Sheds here, you don't pass these exams to get to fly. You pass these exams to learn how to fly and do it it safely and legally.

This site can be a bit forgiving Callum and i'm sorry if my post has a negative tone but you do need to really know whats in the exams and the books, as i say to a lot of people when they ask me why i do something this way or that while flying..."it keeps me alive".

Yes the validity of some of the questions or exercises in the exams can be debated endlessly BUT the learning is the important thing....

Lets think - taxi-ing in form your first solo and you meet me on the taxi way... which way are you going to go? You survived your first solo only to bend your aircraft and mine on the ground.

Granted Air Law can be dry... same can be said for Met (insert pun here) but if you just scrape past Met, or Nav for that matter.... mistaking a TCU or CB for a nice little CU could end in a very nasty experience :-)
(I actually really enjoyed Met and took my time with the study).

Enjoy the flying but take the book learning seriously, having that knowledge to hand when things go wrong can be very very useful. i salute you for being so young and getting so far already... well done mate!!!
