Hi. I spend a fair bit of time driving about and wondered if there is any audio learning material for the ATPL groundschool that could be used for any subjects?

When I don't really have time for studying, I use my MP3 player to record the bits that I need to work on, and listen to them, wherever I go. I don't know about Audio material for ATPL, but recording it its a good way of learning :)

This must be quite a dangerous idea. You'll be sleeping at the wheel before you know it...

haha probably true.:}

I have one hour to work and 1 1/2 back home. So it could be useful.:ok:

I used to listen to my Morse Code Made Simple tape on the long drive back to the FTO on Sunday evenings. Several years on I can still hear the voice of Capt. David Hoy and the shrill sine wave.

I understand the (formal) Morse Exam has gone now, rather like cassettes.

It's an interesting idea, but the investment would be major for a relatively small market - plus of course it will be on the Internet soon after the first one is sold! It would probably be about 15 CDs' worth. Having said that, I do know somebody with a studio - any Richard Burtons out there? :)

I remember that morse tape - used to do the same thing on a Sunday evening; encoding vehicle licence plates & road signs as I went! Didn't think it was DH's voice on that one though? Certainly his company though - Airtape Publications. Amazing what you actually remember all these years later (haven't got a clue about laser ring gyro's, E/I bar's & logic gates though).

I imagine the development of interactive CBT etc must have rendered audio study a bit redundant. That said, Morse was ideally suited to it in view of how it was tested.
