Cheers Fellas, I tell you it feels great to place my AFT book and Secombe flight planning AND the 727 manual (already don P&L) in my bookshelf in the never to be opened again pile. Now there leaves NAV and SYSTEMS.

Anyone planning self study for this course, I would recommend the AFT notes for a more easy going relaxing learning curve.

Unfortunately the only way to pass this one is to do the work.

Good luck to others taking the plunge

A Couple of tips:
  • Highlight all the main ROUTES
  • Write the total distance of the route in (brackets) around a central area of the route. (great for CP's)
  • Write distances from a midpoint from the route with an arrow in each direction indicating distance to. Make sure they add up to what you have in the brackets.
  • Also distances from common points where the MET may be subdivided write the distances back to your home and destination.
