Well I guess I knew my luck on the weather wouldn’t last this late into the year.\u00a0 Booked as back-to-back lessons the second part had to be cancelled (before I even got to the aero club, which is a rare thing) due to gusting winds going up to 36kts.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a shame, as it’s always nice to tick related lessons off as close together as you can and then move on to the next topic, but it’ll get there – try again a week on Saturday and see what the gods of weather think about going flying then.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I’ve been busy reading up on air law.\u00a0 On a recommendation from someone at the aeroclub that the Simplifier<\/a> was invaluable to them passing, my wife got me a copy (ordered while talking about it driving up the M6 – mobile Internet is a good thing!). <\/em>I can see where they’re coming from, I’ve found it very useful in identifying my weaker areas of revision.<\/p>\n

You don’t do it intentionally, but there are bits of the subject that will always interest you more then others.\u00a0\u00a0 Or chapters that are say 2-3 pages long which you never seem to flick to in the book…….those seem to be the areas that don’t get enough time spent on them and then when you pick a few sample questions from the simplifier book, you realise “ahhh maybe I need to go back and look at that topic again.”<\/p>\n

Right now Search & Rescue, runway distances and associated names for each part – and finally when and for what the various air reports should be filed, all needs a bit more work.\u00a0\u00a0 The rest I’m beginning to feel quite confident about, so it’s coming together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
