Mmmm ...

.... how much of the syllabus from the ATPL you have actually found useful and relevant to the 'real' world? ....


Well I've found near everything I learnt over the years to be relevant AND useful ..... at sometime or other ....

As a professional pilot I'd have to say the knowledge requirement (of the ATPLH) to be accurate ... and while you may not use all of the syllabus knowledge all of the time eventually when you do use it you will be most satisfied.

I have noticed over the years it is often beginners who object to the seemingly rediculous subject matters to be studied .... there is 'method in the madness' but it is not till you are exercising the privileges of your hard earned license that you will recognise the benefits of your learning.

Never lose track of the fact that you and your passengers wellbeing can depend on your professional knowledge being the best it can be.
