Ground School for the distant learner
I'm a "mature" PPL student in Ireland. I'm really enjoying my training but the ground school options are a non-runner for me. I can either study full time for 2 weeks or part-time 3 nights per week for 8 weeks. These are good options offered by my flight school but I am self-employed and simply cannot make the mental/time commitment at the moment. I'm having to work really hard at keeping my business alive which has to be top priority, (savings from a previous economic time frame are paying for my Flight Training)
On the plus side I achieved all of my qualifications through distance learning, mostly the Open University. Home study suits me for many reasons and I wonder if there are any alternative options available to physically being present in a classroom environment. I have the Pooley selection of manuals but as we all know simply "reading text" is not a good learning method. I need access to the exam format, past papers (if possible) , mock exams etc.
Has anybody here passed PPL associated exams "without" attending a classroom based groundschool?
Thanks for reading
