Thanks for the replies so far guys.
I have two further questions:
(i) Is there a guide to the practicalities of taking the exams; I see on other threads that you have to take several exams in one sitting - are the rules for this written down somewhere succinctly?
(ii) What is all the kerfuffle about question banks? My impression is that the young guns are learning the answers, rather than material (never a good idea). There's also a lot of moaning about "useless stuff" in the syllabus (example given are characteristics of VORs, map projections, local climatology etc) - I see that it may not be directly relevant at any one particular instant, but it is underpinning knowledge and normally quite interesting. Am I just getting older or more geeky?
