I have the 2003 edition of the Thom books, purchased from a well known online auction site
. One thing I have become aware of is that some stuff has been updated since then (low flying rules for air law, some of the met charts, etc.). Other that the books are fine, air law is a dull read & can be difficult to learn but it has to be done.....
For practise exams, I use a combination of the confuser and the airquiz online exam site.
I have a busy schedule and generally only get time to study for a couple of evenings a week plus Saturdays, but I have managed 3 exams so far:
19/10/07 Air Law (100%)
30/11/07 Met (95%)
22/02/08 Human Perf (100%)
I think maybe I am over-studying
Currently studying Nav, nearly through the 400-page book but still got lots of work to do before I'm ready for the exam. Generally I'm finding Nav quite interesting and strangely enough have got to quite like the wizzy-wheel
<moan> This relatively slow pace has fitted in well with the poor weather recently (10 lessons booked to date in 2008, only 2 flown). On 25th April it will be *6 months* since my first solo and I have had *no* second solo as yet

All the best,
Gavin.
