Thank you very much Farrell for your reply! That was just the sort of thing I was looking for.....
Its left me with a few more questions though
I have looked up the various resources you have mentioned above, but was wondering what the choice would be if (if only) money were no object?
The OATS CD-ROMS would i think be my choice, because i prefer Computer based training compared to reading lots of books.... but are they the best way to do it?
Also, will any of it make much sense to me if I have not actually done any flying lessons? As i said in my 1st post, I will probably do a few hours at PAT, but will the CDs still be way out of my depth or will it still be understandable without the practical side of things to go with it?
Im currently thinking now of buying the £400 Study Pack 3 which includes the following CDs:- (

Air Law & Operational Procedures
Aircraft (General) and Principles of Flight
Flight Performance and Planning (inc Mass & Balance, Performance, Airframe Limitations)
Human Performance and Limitations
Meteorology
Flight Navigation Computer
JAA VFR RT Communications UK Supplement
Practical Flying Training
The Practical Flying Training CD (£100s worth
) - im concerned whether this is worth the extra money if I havent jumped in a plane?
Does anybody have any thoughts on any of this? Reccomendations etc?
Please dont let me waste my money!!
Thanks again,
Nigel
