If you want to get through the exams then Bristol is the place for you, nobody can comment on more than 1 school because generally that's the only one they would have been with, going to Bristol was a fantastic experience for myself anyou get to meet so many good friends, the first part of networking as they say.
The Bristol online Databank is £50 for 3 months, but at £60 PER exam 1 failure more than pays for this.
Sign up with Bristol, you won't look back
Good luck

Which question bank - aviationexam or ATPOnline?
Hello all,
Do you have any thoughts on which question banks are best for JAA... I have been looking at aviationexam.com and ATPOnline (from Bristol groundschool) - both seem very similar. I am doing a JAA CPL(H), and may go on to do an IR.
Are there any others worth considering? and has anyone ever had any problem with accessing the online versions of the question banks?
I greatly appreciate any feedback before I blow this months food budget on a subscription.

Bristols' ATP Online without a shadow of a doubt!!
It's really good feedback and helps highlight one's weaker areas!! But don't just learn it!!! Understanding why the question is right and how they calculated the answer is essential.
All the best,

Bristol on line, helped me pass with over 90% average, but as previous poster says, do your best to understand why, especially important in Nav, Met, Mass/Balance etc where calculations are required, but it's the best way to prep yourself for these exams. Good luck

Seems like Bristol hands down!
Thanks for the feedback and advice.... I have most of the theory down at this stage and just need to get familiar with the way that the questions are asked!
Thanks again!

The Black Art of AC Electrics
I'm struggling like mad with the above subject (ATPL level) Anyone got any tips for revising this stuff or is it just a case (as usual) of repitition followed by more repetition ad infinitum? Any help would be appreciated

I struggled with electrics as well because I found it intensely boring.... best approach is to get the feedback and look at the type of questions they ask in the exam and that will put you straight as to what you need to know about those pesky little electrons and whether they are flowing this way or that.
Good luck

Take Graham's advice, Bristol QB is all you need. Dont get hung up about electrics, must of its complete bull. Everything you need to know to pass the AGK exam is in the feedback papers and online banks. It worked fine for me and I passed it with flying colours.
Thanks once again
... and radio theory come to that... does that make me strange? Do I need help?

Has to be Bristol!!
With my first batch of exams I was a little sceptical but having sat them and got very good marks, well it speaks for itself!! Absolutly superb!! Its not so much the wording of the questions or that they are pretty much the same (well it is
) but its fantastic for uncovering the little sneaky tricks they put in to try and catch you out.
I personally think the system stinks to be honest 62 quid to have to sit weird and wonderful exams trying to catch you out, why should we be tricked on qestions, but there you go thats the mentalilty. However Bristol has it in the bag fair and square.
Good job all round
Cheers

Ias/cas/eas/tas
Ok im confused, I have been taught IAS corrected for instrument error = CAS,that im cool with so lets assume they are roughly the same.
Because IAS is in effect dynamic pressure (pt-ps) the aeroplane will stall rotate etc at a given IAS eg the dynamic pressure the aerodynamic surfaces are feeling.
Because the ASI is calibrated for ISA Sea level it needs to be corrected for density error and therefore we derive TAS.
Now if the TAS is >300kts compressibility comes into play we correct TAS for this and get EAS which is always lower than TAS.
I was happy with all of that untill I signed up for Bgs feedback questions.
Bristol say that an a/c will rotate ,stall etc at EAS and also EAS is always equal to or lower then CAS.
If flying @300kts at sea level maybe but(and if youve got ur whizz wheel handy work through with me)
25000ft/-40 @ 240kts IAS gives you
350kts TAS now correct for compressibility because >300kts
gives you an EAS of 346kts
Therfore EAS is less than TAS but Greater than IAS.
Other questions were tas is derived from cas by correcting for density and compressibility but you dont correct for compressibility untill you have tas.
Another says that to get EAS from IAS you dont correct for density but you must correct for density to get tas and therefore derive eas.
Now I know that the list of airspeeds is usually written in this order
IAS CAS EAS TAS but in practice we work them out as follows
IAS CAS TAS EAS. I know its a real simple thing but I dont want to drop marks on simple questios and nor do I want to just learn the answers any ideas folks?

Hi
I cant recommend bristol highly enough, the best £50 you will spend, just got my results for first phase atp exams with very happy results having heavily used bristol feedback.
But DO try and understand the answers as well just incase
good luck everyone in this game

When does night exist?
I would appreciate some help with this one.
When does night exist:
a) During the hours of darkness
b) From 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes after sunrise
c) from the beginning of evening civil twilight until the beginning of morning civil twilight.
d) During the period when the centre of the sun's disc is 6 degrees below the horizon
Thank you in advance
