Hi guys,
No, I don't work for these guys or have any affiliation....just posting as a very happy customer.
The AFT correspondence course for ATPL MET is absolutely SPOT ON
!
Sat the Exam yesterday and walked out in 30 minutes with 94%- so for all of you who are going to sit AMET I can highly recommend AFT/ Nathan Higgins.
A couple of hours a day over a month or so will be more than enough to cover it all.
The practice Exams and review questions are VERY representative of the real Exam, and the text is more than sufficient to gain an understanding of the topic.
To give some sort of guide, my Exam featured questions on:
- Interpreting TAFs (but with TTFs thrown in as well). There were 2 questions worth 2 marks each.
- Turbulence/ Icing/ Precipitation conditions for various cloud types.
- Definitions of Strong/ Moderate/ Severe Turbulence and Icing (AIP GEN 3.4).
- Formation of Fog,
- A few questions on formation/ conditions for Surface Inversions.
- Avoiding CAT near Jetstreams when flying north/ south with varying OAT.
- Interpretations of Tropopause Heights/ Jetstream Speeds/ CAT on SIG Wx prog. Charts.
- Conditions required for formation of dust storms.
- Optimum conditions required for the formation of low level jet over QLD.
- Atmospheric Stability/ Instability in relation to ELR v's SALR/ DALR.
- Features of mature stage of Thunderstorms.
- Tropical Cyclones, tracking south which quadrant will the most destructive Wx be in.
- Cloud Height and Wind direction datums for Aerodrome Forecasts and Observations.
- Where RVR is measured from.
I hope this helps anyone who will be sitting the AMET Exam in future.
Cheers,
Gearup.
