have you gone down the area Trevor?
I know at global it is 50 of the ‘most common’ aircraft types. My course and I didn’t start to learn them until the week before the exam although we were told it would be best but when the actual revising started we all kept pushing it back as other stuff became more important to learn at the time.
The 50 types on our list though were all over the place, 747, a380, eufi, chinook, pa28, caravan, glex and so on.
Might be worth doing some detective work and finding someone who has been through the same college for a list of what to concentrate on. No point learning ones that you won’t need to know.
I heard (and can’t verify this) that at CTC you only need to learn a handful for the aircraft recognition part of the tests. Someone with more knowledge on CTC will verify that for you though.
