what manuals to buy ?
I WOULD AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT THE PREVIOUS POSTS HAVE SAID AND YOU WILL GET LOADS OF ADVICE ON WHICH MANUALS ARE BEST FROM WHICH SCHOOL BUT I WOULD THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING
1 DOES HE HAVE A PPL AND IF NOT WHY NOT GET HIM AT LEAST UP TO BASICS BY LOOKING AT AFE OR TREVOR THOM PPL MANUALS WHICH CAN BE BOUGHT ON EBAY VERY CHEAPLY.
2 TO HELP HIS KNOWLEDGE, OXFORD DO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CD ROMS ON MOST SUBJECTS WHICH ARE INVALUABLE, EXAMPLES ARE MET, CRP 5 WHICH I WOULD SAY HE WOULD DEFINETELY NEED( MAKE SURE ITS NOT CRP 1 AS THIS WILL BE NO USE TO HIM FOR ATPL STUDY) IFR AND VFR COMS, IS HIS MATHS AND PHYSICS UP TO SCRATCH, IF NOT THE MATHS AND PHYSICS CD ROMS ARE EXCELLENT, PISTON ENGINES, OR THERE IS THE COMPLETE SET FOR PPL USE WHICH WOULD GIVE HIM A GOOD GROUNDING IN MOST OF THE SUBJECTS.
3 BRISTOL MANUALS ARE EXCELLENT AND HAVE A BRILLIANT CD ROM COVERING ALL THE SUBJECTS FOR ATPL LEVEL AND YOU CAN BUY THIS FOR £350.00 SEPERATELY, BUT CRP 5 INSTRUCTION IS NOT AS GOOD AS OXFORDS.
4 I THINK BUYING MANUALS IS OK BUT THE CD ROMS ARE A BETTER BET AS HE CAN USE THESE TO SUPPLEMENT HIS MANUALS FROM WHATEVER INTEGTATED PROVIDER HE GETS HIS MANUALS FROM.
ANYWAY THIS IS ONLY AN OPINION AND I AM SURE YOU WILL GET PLENTY OF FEEDBACK ON THIS TOPIC. TELL HIM GOOD LUCK WITH HIS STUDIES AND IF YOU REQUIRE MORE INFO JUST POST YOUR REPLY ON THIS SITE.
