Thanks for the 2 cents guys..

I have tried another source of information (ASA dvd's) and it seems to depict things differently. My CF-II is great! He has a lot of patience and hes a plethora of knowledge. He makes the same statements that NDB's are so easy they are difficult. They are actually his preferred approach method (dont ask me why).

If you guys remember a couple years back the gent who had to take command of a king air in FL , and ATC had to find a person who was proficient on king airs, and it happened to a be a pilot here in Danbury , CT.. thats my CF - II.. small world

I think half my battle is that im trying to shove too much of it down my throat, i did a better portion of the gleim course in under 3 weeks (while working full time, girlfriend, drinking, etc.).

I find VOR's are easier because of their direction headings / relations to VOR's with HSI presentations. NBD's have no real direction bearings other than to the station, and thats what makes it hard for me
