The really useful knowledge is
- weather (how to get it off the internet, etc)
- mechanics of flying e.g. wing loading, stalls, etc
- aircraft systems (e.g. which CBs to pull if you smell smoke
)
- engine management
- fuel management
- protocol crap e.g. how to get PPR/PNR, Customs, etc
- hand signals concerning parking (essential at bigger airports)
- hypoxia and how to get it
- how to use GPS
- how to use VOR/DME
- how to fly an ILS (yes I am talking about a PPL pilot; one day it might save his life)
and other stuff like that.
90% of the ground school is crap like ICAO convention date, the signals square, abstract weather stuff... and of course the stupid circular slide rule which no pilot who actually flies from A to B for real ever uses, but which takes up more ground school time than everything else put together.

Thats the sort of thing im talking about all the ICAO stuff just takes up head space when other far more important things should be taught..
