Re numbers - For a short time I had to use calculations as part of my job ( the bit that involved calibrating weighing equipment), and it's only when you try operating with numbers that you believe in the magic, isn't it? Having to calc using x squared to get a real value at the end!...
Don't think I could do it now though and I am no natural, it was always a wrestling match! Of course that also involved buoyancy and air density / temp corrections to Standard so at least I have an inkling about those when it matters.
Nav...... eek!
I can get lost going into the nearest town. Add in doing the maths while brain has gone to mush....It is not going to be easy
Thanks @MidlifeCrises .
Yep, totally agree. My Instructor is a demon
If we can both last the course, and I'm no quitter, I will be better for his rigorous approach. There were a few lessons when I've wondered how on earth his style was going to get us anywhere..... then it does click and when it does come together he's as chuffed as I am.
I do owe a debt of gratitude to @TopCat for some invaluable analysis that helped me over my last mini crisis.
Exams.... yeeessss. I should be OK with most of them but it's a lot of stuff to embed and then pull out of the dark recesses. You are right about having a deadline to concentrate the mind! I'm working on Air Law because there's so much of it, and Human Factors, which I should be fine at. So I'll be booking them in the not too distant future
