Hi All,
I'm a student PPL With just over 40hrs and I've passed all the written exams, I'm now doing course revision and I'll have my test hopefully in a few weeks, I also work in the I.T Industry as an I.T engineer like many other ATPL wannabes.
I think you've all answered the age question for me and hopefully allayed my fears over this, I'll be 32 next month and I never dreamed about taking my flying any further forward than the PPL until the last couple of months, my main worries though are getting through the ATPL exams.
Like most people I won't be able to give up work and study full time so it'll have to be done through distance learning, I don't really see any problems in studying this way as I've done many I.T qualifications this way, but the last time I did any real Physics and Maths ( Excluding PPL ) was at school and I feel a little bit worried over this, can anyone recommend what I need to brush up on prior to doing the study ? I think someone from this forum recommended a book called The Mechanics Of Flight by A.C Kermode anyone else got this ?
I'll be doing my Ground School with Bristol GS, hopefully soon as I've done the PPL, I've already been in touch with someone there ( Alex ) and they've sent me a demo disk and it looks good, but I just want to give myself a good head start and a realistic chance of succeeding before I lay loads of ££££££££ out, any ideas ???
Cheers
