I never had to bet my life on trigonometry, but it's pretty complex and I
mastered it in a lot fewer than 100 hours.

Hello:

I found trig and Calculas (at least basic calculas) not that all
complex.

Is that anything like calculus? :-)

I found geometry the most difficult. Too much raw memorization and
proofs just aren't my idea of a good time.



It didnt take "to long" flying with him to see why. We did six
different approaches and EACH time with no real variation in traffic
he put the gear down at a "different time" in the approach. Sometimes
downwind, sometimes final, in the two instrument approaches, it was
never the same place.

Sounds like he didn't use checklists either as that should include gear
down. If he wasn't using checklists consistently, then putting down the
landing gear was only one of his problems!
