I only ask because even though it seems you have yet to gain your PPL you seem somewhat convinced that everybody replying here is wrong and/or over the hill and out of date and you are the only one marching in step.

I've also had plenty of answers that explain how largely irrelevant and time consuming some of the material is, but i just have to accept it and get on with it. Why the totally unnecessary personal attacks is beyond me, simply because I don't agree with the (non existent) syllabus. If people spent more time actively suggesting what may or may not be better, and talked to the right people, and approached objectively change may happen more quickly.
As has been explained to me numerous times the same stuff is going to crop up at ATPL so it's better for me to learn it now, (which I have been the whole time people have been questioning my intelligence and aptitude) without issue. Quite why this thread hasn't died is beyond me.
