End of Module 1 lessons...lot of study from now until the exams

Hi all,
Today our CP have just completed the last lesson of Module 1, which means that from now until the exams the only activity we're supposed to do is...studying!

Since last update, we completely went through Meteo, Instruments and Comms.

A gyroscope, we need to know everything about it for instruments exam
I feel quite confident with some of the subjects, less confident with others and I think that massive question bank and revising the most argue subjects is the key for quite good results!
We are also trying to find some good methods to remember all the stuff that must be learnt by memory:

Some post-it on my room walls to remember the most difficult things (for me)
By the way, to better understand how instruments work on board of a real aircraft, we have been for 4 hours into a simulator in group of 3-4 people during the late afternoon and the evening.
It was a really enjoyable experience and in the meantime a very useful opportunity, as I find easier to understand how things work if I can have a direct experience of them.
Here are some pictures and a video of my landing at Gatwick Airport on runway 26L (still wind and great visibility, far away from real conditions, but at least I managed to land it :D )
So from now finger crossed as the exams are getting very close!!
