I love theses threads, listen flying a plane is not rocket science ! ATP standards are what they are for a reason lol if you cant apply your self enough to pass an oral, if your flying isnt up to snuff to pass a type ride after 5 or so sim sessions, then you probly shouldt be a pilot, if you question your abilities to study and apply yourself to a course that the bar is set very low for, move on. I mean come on it not like your taking state medical board exams lol
