As far as I am aware, you cannot just jump in to retake from stage2 - you have to go through the whole process again regardless of which stage you got to. I retook the whole lot this year after failing at stage 2 last year...plus you have to wait a year from the date of your initial application, not the date of taking stage 1.
Hope this helps!

My year is up and I have applied again booked my stage 1 for the 26th of May, so if anyone is also going to be there at the 1400 one I may see you.
I'm assuming stage 1 hasn't changed all that much from last year? in terms of the actual content... I did have a quick read through some posts and seen people talking about stage 2 and 3 changes so was just wondering.

I have been looking into getting Graham Duke's book also.
It appears everywhere is out of stock at the minute, due to the pending release of the 10th edition in August.
I have been able to find it elsewhere for as little as £4.99 +P&P, just can't for the life in me remember where. As soon as i do i will shout

Plenty to be found on Google Shopping. You don't need the 9th edition, the 8th (or maybe even the 7th) will do fine. I have a 3rd edition, but you don't want that. A lot has changed since 1989. Hell, it was only marginally useful in 1999 when I needed it!

Stage 1
Hi guys,
Everyone sounds immensely clued up in here, I applied to get on this course and chose my Stage 1 date before I knew what was required to pass the stage one process. Im just looking the through the leaflet they send you and am not sure I can absorb all this information by Tuesday. I was wondering if they were likely to ask questions relating to the 6 individual specifications of the planes, as this is a lot of information to learn parrot fashion in 4 days. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

anthonygraham1,
Yes a turboprop is a propeller aircraft. As JonathanB says have a good idea of destinations of aircraft. E.g can they make a transatlantic etc... and speed e.g do they fly at 300 knots/450 knots etc... I dont recall being asked about number of passengers etc... but yours could be different to mine !!!
Good luck with it

anthonygraham1,
If you want to PM with an email address i made some "top Trump" style cards to help learn the aircraft, also i wrote out the information in my own way and the orginal version and transferred it onto my ipod via a speech program and listened to it in my car on my way to work. I also have those mp3 if you fancy it !!!

Stage 1
I've recently sat stage 1 and if it's the same tests I passed then you don't need any in depth knowledge of the different planes, I read the information 3 or 4 times before the exam and felt quite confident after the test.
As you've probably saw from other posts there are harder parts to it than the motivation paper, but I think staying relaxed throughout the tests is the best advice I could give you.
Good luck with stage 1

Stage 2
Hi,
Just another question for those who have taken the new stage 2 that are now like the FEAST tests used by Eurocontrol.
Is there anywhere online where you can practice these tests?
Thanks
