In order to help,I think we need to know what part of the country you're in. Where are you?

1) show up

2) get the study stuff you need (FTM, FTGU, E6B, etc)

3) don't just show up, do extra work outside of class, to review the material you took last time.

4) don't bother reading ahead to new stuff - spend your time drinking and see if you can get laid instead. This will relieve any tension created by 1, 2 and 3 above.

Study way more about weather than they ever give you in groundschool or in FTGU.

Pay attention and practice in Met and Nav, alot of other stuff is just memorization where as Nav and Met are/can be a technique.

As for the Da20 they have one here in Barrie, Kitchener/Waterloo, London has em, thats all I know of.

Have fun and enjoy the process.

Sit at the front of the class so you don't drift off into la-la land and if you don't understand something, now is the time to ask it.

Best of luck with your groundschool, the only tips I have for you is to take notes and pay attention.

If you are looking to train on the DA20 I highly recommend Empire Aviation in London.

Isn't a DA20 a Dasault Falcon 20? The Katana type is a DV20? Just curious. Only significant on a flight plan.

DA20, according to TC, is a Falcon, yes. Diamond Named theirs a DA20, but TC's definition of it is DV20. Also, in addition to places listed above, Ottawa AAviation Services in Ottawa >North Field of YOW< is also a good place to train.
