ATPL Study Material Types

Morning All

After posting a couple of previous questions in the PPL Training forums I thankfully found myself with a Skills Test pass on none other than Friday 13th June, not so lucky anymore

Now in the hour building stage and looking forward to the future, but am trying to find the best material for the ATPL studies. The flight school I use, Flying Time Aviation, use the Nordian materials covering the EASA 2009 Syllabus, but I'm not there often due to heavy work commitments

Just a quick question for anyone who may have found one, but I used the Oxford training CD's for the PPL studies and they were brilliant - I think my learning style is far more tailored toward interactivity vs heavy book studies. Does anyone know of the best similar type of material that perhaps they have had great success using or know someone else has used? I'd appreciate any suggestions as am trying to find the best variety of relevant content, as I know they syllabus is constantly updating.

Thanks for reading and your anticipated help

Seems a shame you are going to extra expense as the course materials & tuition from FTA should be enough. The syllabus hasn't changed drastically, in NPA25 (latest) they mainly moved sub-subjects into different areas. Eg PET/PSR is now FP where it was in both FP & GN.

Anyway to answer your question the following do interactive learning packages, some are PC based others Ipad:-

Bristol Ground School
CATS
Oxford
ProPilot

Apologies if I missed any.

I'm with Bristol, very good. All questions have a really good explanation and the course is very well laid out.

I would love to make full use of their materials Richard if I didn't have to work full time in another town

I'll give all of those a look into, many thanks for the suggestions. Someone else I have spoken to has recommended something called padpilot, a compilation of ebooks for the iPad. Have you had any experiences with these before?

Thanks again!
