JAA PPL theory, best way to get it sorted?
Hi all,
Am currently set to begin a modular ATPL training route and will be starting my PPL in the US at the beginning of February. I have been advised to learn as much of the theory as possible before I go, an idea which I think is a good one.
Can anyone therefore give me some advice on this, such as:
How much volume of stuff is there to learn and how many hours of study do you think is required, bearning in mind that I want to learn it all properly, not just to scrape through the exams?
As far as I can make out there are two sets of books which one can use, the AFE ones and the ones by Trevor Thom. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using each of these?
Also, I am a bit concerned, as for example with the Thom books, there are 7 of them, all about 250-300 pages long. This seems like an awful lot of stuff to read, how much of the text is actually essential to know and how much of it is crap that u dont need to read?
Cheers all, look forward to some interesting responses.
