Hi chaps,
RT Theory is the last of the exams (hurrah!), so I've just started reading Thom book 7 and CAP413 (I've got copies of both). I find Thom by far the more readable of the two, but it seems to contain errors - e.g. when taking off at an aerodrome with FIS we have
G-TC ready for departure
G-TC take off at your discretion, surface wind is zero niner zero at one one knots
take off
my discretion, G-TC
(page 149)
Flying out of a FIS aerodrome I know this is one is wrong - but how many more? Does anyone (with good RT
) think that the Thom book is any good? I'd rather use it, but not if I'm going to have to permanently cross-reference with CAP413 - in that case I'll bite the bullet and read the dull one
One possiblility is that I may have an out of date Thom - anyone know if CAP413 has changed this recently? My copy of Thom is (c) 2000 - 'Second revised edition'
Cheers
