Thanks Right Touch

I'll give Cardiff a ring on Monday after I book my Class 1 with the CAA. The cost of doing 4 x 100 mile trips to Bristol would probably cost me an arm and a leg.

I've been doing 2 at a time without any problems although once I started reading through Aircraft General I made the decision to do that one on it's own just because of the amount to learn. Besides, the weather in Canada will provide some time to study Met & Nav so Im not too worried about it.

As said earlier, it's good to see other people in the same boat.

Alpha Male - Good luck with your Medical and Exams. You'll be fine!

Nav is definitely the hardest exam, not because the content was particularly difficult, but I had to spend about half the exam searching for the airport and the answers in the paper are just so specific

Best sequence:
  • Human Performance first (it's easy and gives you confidence in passing an exam!)
  • Air Law and Op Procs
  • RT theory
Do those 3 before you go solo. Next, before your first solo cross-country, get the following 3 under your belt:
  • Navigation
  • Flight Perf & Planning
  • Meteorology
Then, before your Q X-C, pass the RT Practical exam. Finally, during your GH revision before the PPL Skill Test, pass the Aircraft(Technical) exam so that the knowledge will still be in your brain for the Skill Test Examiner's Oral Questions.

I like the sound of that!

Sounds like good logic in that too.
