Week 19: ATPL Ground School Week 19

We're almost finishing up on the syllabus with Navigation subject, with just about a little left in Plotting stipulated to be completed by this coming week. Covered two chapters each on Instruments and Radio Aids but feeling ever so empty like nothing went inside the brain for these two subjects.

Meteorology is as heavy as ever and we have started on Met Practical, learning how to read weather reports like experts deciphering code words and symbols. It is quite amazing the things we can do once we have picked the new knowledge up.

We had another progress test on HPL this week. After which, we realise that this subject isn't as easy as we have expected, with some of us caught off guard and attained less than perfect results for the test. That was quite a wake up call to remind us not to get too comfortable no matter how easy the subject may look.

Coming week is another hell week with four progress tests waiting for us.

Monday - Instruments
Tuesday - Meteorology
Thursday - Radio Aids & HPL.

As the chapters start piling up, it is only going to get exponentially harder to score, or even pass.
