B1 Modules

[jknight]

Going to begin taking my B1 module exams after xmas and just wondering if anyone knows of any decent websites/books with module information in them such as revision books etc.........

Hoping to finish my fitter apprenticeship at Airbus with a couple of modules under my belt to help encourage employers to hire me for maintenance work so I can gain the necessary experience to obtain my B1

Wish you all the best for your forthcoming exams,
I gather you mean Airbus England and are taking them at the CAA. There are a good list of books on the CAA website 'Engineers Licence Guidance Document' (ELGD), this is where the CAA have sourced a lot of their question bank from over the years. Also look on www.EASA.eu.int (http://www.EASA.eu.int) for the Part-66 Syllabus.
Obtain a copy of the CAIPS (Civil Aircraft Inspection Procedures) and Newer CAAIPS (Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Procedures).

Worth a look on club66pro.co.uk very good web-site for a huge range of questions relating to the modules. Use this as depth level and content guidance only because the syllabus on some modules is massive, learning the questions parrot fashion will neither help develop yourself into a licenced engineer or get you passes in the exams, I know lot of people that have failed and spent a lot of money doing it this way, also the CAA are very good at changing the wording of similar questions to a different answer!!

Any other questions PM me

The A & P Technician (http://airtechbooks.com/index.php?productID=143) series by Jeppeson.

Rolls Royce (http://airtechbooks.com/index.php?productID=120) - The Jet Engine.

Aircraft Electrical Systems (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aircraft-Electrical-Systems-E-H-J-Pallett/dp/0582988195/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1195406458&sr=8-7) by E.H.J Pallett.

These are some of the books I've used over the years to supplement my studies. Exceptional quality and attention to detail. They are expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.

Beeline makes some good points regarding a certain website which has a massive bank of questions and answers. These sites are a useful tool for gauging your level of understanding after your studies. Many people have attempted to 'blag' a licence by simply learning the questions and answers parrott fashion, however, these folk eventually get found out. It soon becomes apparent who hasn't served a recognised apprenticeship, spent time on the tools and read the books.

Best of luck with your exams!

Thank you for the support :)

My local college (Deeside) has just become 147 certified and I think they will be commencing training next year but still require some experience before enrolment.

I'll just take the employment route and earn & learn my way through my studies

Got to agree with both EGT redline & Beeline. I used all the books that EGT recommnendeds. I brought the latest Rolls book but found the earlier version had a bit more info.
As for CAIPS you can get them on CD here: http://airtechbooks.com/index.php?categoryID=114

Good luck

Thanks :)

Also is there anywhere where I can get a look at example questions from module examinations so I know what I have ahead of me. Don't want to study up andthen realise I have looked at the the completely wrong things :rolleyes:

Thanks,

Like spannerstacx says http://www.airmech.co.uk/forums/index.php and as recommended by beeline http://www.club66pro.co.uk/index.php
are good sites. I used clubb66pro for quite a few modules. Don't try to just learn the questions because they aren't the same, similar, but not the same. You will also get referances to where you can find information about the subject.
I would set yourself a plan as to when you are going to sit your exams as the waiting time was at least a couple of months. Try and book them in advance. It is a little better know they have opened shuttleworth up as an exam venu.
I did maths and physics first, which I would say was help with some of the others.
Good luck, it's a long road but just keep chipping away at it.
