Take it easy and relax flight school includes hands on simulations. if he makes it throught thevery real seeming simulations he is more then ready to fly the not so friendly these days skys. A friend of mine moved to the major city near here and flunked out of the simulations. and I supported his plans ever step of the way knowing full well he would be back and finally marry his fiance and settle down with her which he did.

Also whenever someone told you that you could not do something or could not handle something what was the first thing you set out to do? If you are like me thier being against my ideas and plans set in motion my setting out to prove that person wrong. Just support him and let him make his own mistakes that is how every human being learns what their capabilities and limits are.
