If you need a guardian angel, I may be able to help there...

Meanwhile: may I recommend the "pickle" approach to examinations that are based on your regurgitating ability?

1. Learn the relevant stuff that you will really need to know when you get to be a PPL. You don't want to sell yourself short on the important small percentage!

2. For all the rest - the stuff you will look up in the unlikely event you ever need it again (like height below balloon for the red light; number of cabin crew for various numbers of pax; how to calculate W&B for a 747)...

A. Take the book on holiday to somewhere sunny (Mallorca, Crete, Tenerife etc) for two weeks. Book the written for the day after you get back.

B. Sit on the beach with a large jug of Sangria (or similar), under a large sunshade, or smothered in sun factor 20, as you prefer.

C. Read the book and try to memorise it till your brain hurts.

D. Have a glass out of the jug and go for half an hour's swim (or whatever is your sunny beach thing).

REPEAT B C and D until the two weeks are up.

E. Go home and do the written.


I got 92% in my air law that way. And the best tan I ever had, and the most peaceful fortnight I can remember.
