May I say many thanks to Redsnail, November Whiskey and Dornadair. Between you, you have provided me with a helluvalotta valuable advice. Thanks guys!
Jetgate. As I am sure you will appreciate, there is Physics and there is Physics. I bought a text book to help me and found that it dealt with all the right subjects but at a level and in a way that was above me and which I could not understand!!!
I believe the kind of physics we have to study is what is called 'Mechanics', that is to say such things as mass, specific gravity, inertia, momentum, friction, force, work, etc. The level is at about GCSE 'O' level; no higher. Really basic engineer's physics. I found the most useful books were Newnes Engineering Science Pocket Book and 'Science for Engineering' by J. O. Bird and published by Newnes. I obtained both of these from our local library.
I seem to remember that there is a JAA requirement for groundschools to provide revision maths and physics courses. I suggest you contact the school you intend to use and ask them if they provide anything. I do hope this has been useful.
C'mon Puss, let's get the 'stick in the air.
