Additionally, a 5 on IGPs (which you can do to DEATH ) is worth just as much as a 5 on Landings or pattern work. If you're worried, memorize your EPs verbatim WITH Notes warning cautions and be able to spit them out faster than the average dude can read them (very doable) then you'll pick up a lot of 5's on EPs and even get the 5 in General Knowledge at lot of times as well. At the end of primary I looked at that summary sheet and over 40% of my 5's were from General Knowledge, EPs, and IGPs alone
So what you're tryin' to say is, if you come in prepared for each and every flight knowing and demonstrating things that are 100% within your control (i.e., acing your required knowledge, being confident in diagnosing and handling emergencies, having the foresight to check the health of your aircraft from time to time, etc.), your grades will reflect? This strategy sounds like it would also give the IP confidence that you know what you're doing and want to be there, and could allow the flight to focus almost completely on working on the mission at hand (monkey skills, nav, etc.) Hmm... I might have to try this sometime! (Sounds a lot easier - and cheaper - than, say, trying to get "the edge" by a paying for a PPL before API. )

How is that section lead syllabus coming?
