PPL Study

I set an arbitrary deadline of this Saturday to do the CASA PPL Cyber Exam (on-line test). I have been pushing through 4 volumes of syllabus and a pile of regulations. My brain is swimming with new concepts like Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate, and my head hurts. I was worried that I seemed to keep getting some classes of question wrong, especially the one involving "how far ahead on the runway must the next plane be before you takeoff". I put the same question to my PPL qualified buddy, and when I realised he had not memorised the subtleties of distances depending on how heavy the plane in front is, I felt slightly more relaxed.

I've also been working on a tender this week, so I am fitting study in between cut- pasting and writing (up to about page 100 now), travelling, dance classes, blogging and occasional sleep.

I want to do all the practice questions one more time and then I'll guess I'll turn up Sat arvo and take my chances.
