Books to Read?

[DannySpain]

Hi there,

I am working through raising monies to go down the CTC Integrated Route though will also be applying to BA when it comes available at the end of the month.

Whilst it will not be without its sacrifices, it is something that I have always really wanted to do (I am 34 which I am aware is far from the ideal age to embark on this... I am going to their open day at the end of the month.

Anyway, I wonder if there are any up to date books that I might read about the general process (I realise that it won't be CTC specific), what I should brush up on, questions etc.

I know that there is a book mentioned in the forums but that it is c.20 years old. Is there anything more recent...?

Cheers in advance.

Mate I have red your post two times but still I don't get what you meant with "general process". Could you be more specific?

True, "general process" is a bit vague but if i understand you correctly...

There's a lot of free material on the internet. Forums/Blogs/Vlogs.
I'd say start with some basic laws of physics or explanations of aerodynamics on the internet, but if you are already more advanced a good google search on the dark site of the network can provide you with some Atpl books.

Even PPrune has some very helpful links, http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/66205-useful-website-document-references.html

An intergraded course should be very structured and easy to digest for beginners as it should serve it's purpose, but the more you know in advance the more comfortable you will be in the classroom.

Tip: Just try not to be too much comfy because no one like a smart***:cool:

@PortVale, Is there a more updated version or is that the only edition. I have been looking at numerous such books but hadn't come across this one. It has gotten excellent reviews online. I would also recommend Easa Professional Pilot Studies by Phil Croucher.

Thanks a million. By general process I just meant anything that I need to know about the interview process really.

Thanks for your help all.

I second this. GAHFTS is an excellent book. Really useful if, like me, you haven't done long division, long multiplication, or calculating percentages since school and are in need of a refresher.
