Whenever I take up a new hobby, I'm always impressed with the sheer depth of knowledge out there for specific activities. I just finished my stage 2 checkride for my Private yesterday and it's amazing the breadth of material you need to know to fly. It's understandable since one muck up can have severe consequences for one's well-being, but it sometimes feels a little overwhelming when you're trying to memorize multiple visibility limitations within the 6 different classes of airspace.
