ATPL(H) Question Banks EASA Related

[INSIRS]

Good afternoon fellow Rotor Heads, a little help from your good selves if it would at all be possible.

About to engage in the quest for the ATPL's in Ireland.

Interested to ask those of You who have sat ATPL's in Ireland (IAA) of your experience in using the Question Banks...

1. What Bank/s would you recommend?

2. Within relation to the Bank/s you have used...How similar were (feel free to give the year you sat the exams) the Bank/s You used and the actual questions that popped up in the Exams themselves?

A list of the current Banks...

1. ATPL Online (http://www.atplonline.co.uk)
2. ABACUS (http://www.aerosolutions.be/index.php?Article=ABA_ATPL)
3. Aviation Exam (https://www.aviationexam.com/UI/Pages/Default.aspx)
4. E-ATPL (http://www.e-atpl.com/e-atpl/index.php)
5. Test2Fly Online (https://www.test2fly.com)
6. Aviationire (http://www.aviationtire.com/atpl.cfm)
7. Bristol Online (http://qbank.bgsonline.eu/Login.aspx)

Appreciate any constructive feedback, advice etc

I did it a couple of years ago with the one from Bristol. It was updated to the last exam, they encourage pupils to report any question not seen in the bank and people use to cooperate with them :D, so it was working very good. In all the exams no more than four questions that I haven't seen in the bank before.

Cheers

Also rtfq.azurewebsites.net for revision. All questions in plain English, biased towards EASA but good for other authorities as well.

I'd recommend not leaning too heavily on the question bank for PoF especially, I've known a few people who've done that recently and not found a great deal of correlation between the QB and the exam!

Very true - they* introduced a lot of new questions without revealing the sources, then 60% of the questions were disabled for being not fit for purpose - the results won't kick in until around now, I'm told.

*Not necessarily EASA - there are grounds for thinking that the CAA have introduced their own outside of EASA.

For example, these two:

What has the worst effect (counter-clockwise rotor system) once you experience "tail rotor vortex ring state"?

making a right pedal turn (to swing the nose to the right)
making a left pedal turn (to swing the nose to the left)
raising the power lever
decreasing the power lever

What is the best procedure (clockwise rotor system) once you have experienced "tail rotor vortex ring state"?

making a right pedal turn (to swing the nose to the right)
making a left pedal turn (to swing the nose to the left)
raising the power lever
decreasing the power lever

My information is that they are not in the current EQB.

Of course, you shouldn't rely on question banks anyway, in an ideal world - but given the standard of the questions you can't blame people for thinking otherwise.

No. 3 is always very up-to-date.

Hey mate, I've just finished the theory of ATPL. The EATPL and Aviation Exam were very useful. They have around minimum 80% of the official exams, depending on the subject

If I can help you with anything send me a PM.

Regards and good luck:ok:
