Man, I thought the PPL material was dry reading... (Well, the
aerodynamics
was pretty damned interesting to me) The Instrument stuff is B O R I
N G!! Almost fell asleep in class tonight...

I've been studying for the past few weeks, just light reading since I wont
start training until September, but I want to take some of the pressure off
as it's going to be an intensive integrated course. I'm finding the
aerodynamics and RT is sticking, but studying meteorology I just find I
switch off and read pages without realising I'm not paying attention. I
bought some training CD's from Oxford Aviation Training, who're just down
the road from me, and they're helping a lot.

I've also started playing FS2004 on VatSim (www.vatsim.net) so I'm getting
exposure to "real" voice RT comms. (Many of the controllers are pro's or
pilots themselves.)

Hopefully I should be in good shape study-wise when I actually start the
flying!..
