Superted,
I have made several attempts to send you the answers using your pprune e-mail address, but this appears to have been closed down due to inactivity. Please send me a usable address and I will try again.
I suspect the moderators will not agree with your assessment of what is and is not advertising. But.........
During my time as a JAR instructor it quickly became apparent to me that although all of the FTOs provide lists of feedback questions (which are of course handed on from student to student), none provides full written explanations of why any particular answer to a question is correct. This problem is compounded by the fact that different schools select different answers, the overall effect being confusion for students struggling to master the subjects.
I therefore concluded that what was needed was a book containing a large number of questions, together with easily understood explanations of how to answer them. Having expended several thousand hours of effort, I have produced just such a book for the subject of POF. It currently contains approximately 1060 questions, answers and explanations (the number keeps increasing each time I get new feedback).
The book costs £35, which includes postage to anywhere in Europe (the actual cost I pay for packing and postage is a little over £6 so the real price I get for the book is less than £29).
The purpose of the book is to provide students with an exhaustive coverage of the type of questions that have been used in past POF exams. It covers those areas of the POF syllabus that students report having been tested on. In effect this is the vast majority of the syllabus. The material is broken down into subject areas in order to enable users to concentrate on any weak areas in their knowledge. For those who feel they already have a good knowledge of the syllabus but need to prepare for resits, the same material is available in the form of a book of 20 practice examination papers.
I am currently working on a similar book dealing with Aircraft Performance. I have more than 1000 questions and am now getting down to the more time consuming task of composing the explanations.
I'm not entirely sure how to interpret the comments by peterj. If the message is that all things in life should be free, then I look forward to hearing from his airline.
Free flights around the world sound like a splendid idea.
I would merely repeat that the answers to the questions in this string are freely available, simply by e-mailing me at
[email protected] I will of course include an add (for my book), which recipients are free to ignore.
I also provide a free telephone consultation service covering the subjects of POF, Engines and Engine Instruments. All I ask is that you ring me, rather than me ringing you. Receipt of the answers to the questions in this string and advice by telephone are free.
