ATPL subjects question

Hey guys I was just wondering if you could give me some advice regarding which ATPL I should tackle next, ive done HUF, MET and Systems so far. Which subject would you say would be the easiest to self study?? Reason Im doing the "easy" ones first is cause im getting taught the hard ones later this year so I figure if i smash out the easy ones it will give me more time to focus on the hard ones!

thanks in advance

Hi Red,

Great idea doing the subjects that you can in your own time. LOL, only because I did the same thing.

I did everything at home except for flight planning and no matter what I did I could not pass the exam.

Booked myself into Nathan Higgins in Marochydore and he found my problem on day 2 of the course. Makes me laugh that it was such an easy fix, and after that he just made me faster. This course is so effeceint that on the day of the exam I had time to do it twice, and I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Now I didnt get 100% but a score in the 90's was good enough.

Keep at it and when you finally get stuck call this guy. Never give up there is always a solution.

I would also have a look at giving Nav a go. It's not that hard to self study and all of the concepts are applied again in flight planning.

If you can smash nav it really will make flight planning easier.

Doesn't law have a shorter time limit on it than the rest? Yes its easy but I was always told to do it last.

I was standing in the CASA office submitting my ATPL application before the end of the exam! It pays to get help!

Did all but flight planning via self study.

rmcdonal,

You may have been advised in the past to do law last, as this one used to have a time limit on it, (six months from dim memory?)...but this no longer applies...do it first if you want, makes no difference.

I had some questions that I answered off the top of my head as I have already completed my instrument rating, but they all have reference to the AIP, CAR or CAOs
