I managed to speak to one of the instructors who conducted my lesson ( i had a total of 3) and he did make me aware my knowledge was poor on the systems to which i am aware and acknowledged, he suggested spending some time on fcom/fctm and general system knowledge using such materials such as youtube, he also suggested that maybe the previous instructor who originally conducted my training may have been too lenient in passing me to get this far to which I debate, i agree my knowledge is poor but I did my level best at each sessions up and until the end and managed to do the lesson tasks/objectives eg ILS approach/ UPRT recovery etc,
Also I wanted to state that, which person at a novice stage knows the full airbus system, again i did not wish to argue but wanted to seek knowledge/advice on how to overcome this hurdle and finish my training, he did say if he was my original instructor and if did not know the basics as in the stage at where i was he would have not let me continue until i demonstrated a standard of understanding , he also stated that before i make any rash decisions in terms of continuing the training spend 2-3 months studying and then start the type rating again, to which i said i would do the actions he asked, thus any websites or apps/ external materials or books can anyone suggest to get my understanding to a standard of level?
I am comfortable with the flows/ flight profiles but agree i have not studied or practised with my sim partner during my time at the type rating, I am going to take time out to study as much as i can but i feel like its a question when asking how long is a piece of string, in terms of test questions any websites or apps i can use?
I have had time to reflect on my mistakes and my weaknesses to which i admit but at the same time i feel angry to be at the stage i am, again I know this path is not easy and the type rating can be done with the right mind set and focus...
It feels embarrassing to be at this stage , I mean I have not come across many or other students in my shoes, I have heard of students repeating lessons etc but for the training to be terminated is a real kick in the teeth and to do it all again at my own expense is worrying but I feel I can do this with the right mind set and focus and support...
