I am distance learning with LGU at the moment, planning to do my revision week for the first 7 exams in January - so hope to see a few of you there.
Have had no problems at all with support from LGU. My tutor is only to willing to find out answers to queries, both regarding things from the syllabus, and recently beyond. All progress tests sent to my e-mail when I ask for them. Even when my tutor was ill, someone else jumped into the breach and helped out, letting me know what was going on. So all in all I have been very pleased.
With regard to the comments made on some of the stuff in the notes and syllabus - what you have to remember is that the vast majority of us are not going to walk onto the flight deck of a shiny new Boeing or Airbus the week after we get our fATPL. Much more likely we will be instructing, working for Air Taxi firms or flying an old twin turboprop like the Shorts or something if we are lucky. So a little knowledge about older systems is no bad thing.
