AFT correspondence course for ATPL MET....
Hi guys,
No, I don't work for these guys or have any affiliation....just posting as a very happy customer.
The AFT correspondence course for ATPL MET is absolutely SPOT ON
!
Sat the Exam yesterday and walked out in 30 minutes with 94%- so for all of you who are going to sit AMET I can highly recommend AFT/ Nathan Higgins.
A couple of hours a day over a month or so will be more than enough to cover it all.
The practice Exams and review questions are VERY representative of the real Exam, and the text is more than sufficient to gain an understanding of the topic.
To give some sort of guide, my Exam featured questions on:
- Interpreting TAFs (but with TTFs thrown in as well). There were 2 questions worth 2 marks each.
- Turbulence/ Icing/ Precipitation conditions for various cloud types.
- Definitions of Strong/ Moderate/ Severe Turbulence and Icing (AIP GEN 3.4).
- Formation of Fog,
- A few questions on formation/ conditions for Surface Inversions.
- Avoiding CAT near Jetstreams when flying north/ south with varying OAT.
- Interpretations of Tropopause Heights/ Jetstream Speeds/ CAT on SIG Wx prog. Charts.
- Conditions required for formation of dust storms.
- Optimum conditions required for the formation of low level jet over QLD.
- Atmospheric Stability/ Instability in relation to ELR v's SALR/ DALR.
- Features of mature stage of Thunderstorms.
- Tropical Cyclones, tracking south which quadrant will the most destructive Wx be in.
- Cloud Height and Wind direction datums for Aerodrome Forecasts and Observations.
- Where RVR is measured from.
I hope this helps anyone who will be sitting the AMET Exam in future.
Cheers,
Gearup.

Got to be careful though. Most of the Casa questions I had for all of the ATPL exams were similar but not identical to the AFT ones. I had one in particular on the Nav exam where the question itself was word for word identical to an AFT question but one of the multi-choice answers was subtly different. Different enough that the correct answer was different. It can be easy to think you recognise the question and know the answer when you may not.
I wholeheartedly agree with the praise for the AFT courses though. I studied all of the ATPL subjects by correspondance with AFT and passed all of them first time. Exams like Flight Planning were not easy and would have benefitted from some classroom time, but I still got there with marks to spare.
One standout factor for AFT was that I would sometimes fire off an email question to Nathan while I was studying late at night in W.A. and I would usually get an immediate response. I'm not sure what the guy does all night but it doesn't seem to include much sleeping.

Agree, Nathan provides great back up.
Also interesting on the day that in my group there were only 2 local students sitting Exams- including me.
Is this usual?????
