Hi everyone,
Been a little over 3 years since I last sat in the pointy end of anything as a pilot and while I've moved away from the commercial aspect of aviation, i'm looking to get back into from private flying. I only racked up a little over 550 hours total, and i'm surprise at how fast and how much I've forgotten, but it is fair to say I'm getting the itch to go flying again.
Just wondering if people can point me in the direction of some reading material, as I understand there have been a fair few changes over the last few years regs wise so I can start reading up on things again before trundling into the local flying school.
Now I hate to admit this but when pulling out the old CR2 the other day I struggled to remember how to use the bugger so any recommendations on come text books to brush up on things? Are the bob tait books still a safe bet, bearing in mind I want to bring myself back up to, and maintain myself to the CPL level, regardless of if i'm going to be exercising the privileges of this licence or not.
Also, since I find myself with a lot of free time on my hands during the days, I'm wanting to read through the ATPL stuff (never know I might sit the exams) and i'm after recommendations on ATPL theory books.
Thanks in advance everyone
