Hedges, believe me, you won't have any time for shagging, your head will be too busy thinking about your CRP-5 .

Just a word about the Unite facilities. You have a choice of location. I stayed in Poland house (Stratford), a little further away than Sherron house (Whitechapel), but nice size rooms, with large desk space, and pretty quiet.

And stay away from Perfect Fried Chicken in Whitechapel, unless you want rotting guts.

Enjoy it.

London Metropolitan ATPl Shedule ?

Hey guyz

I know some of you have or will be studying at LMU. I am preparing to go there for the March session. Can anyone tell me what's the schedule like ?
I found some interesting student jobs at Victoria.

I 've been to college and the average time spent in class was around 20 hours per week. How is it at the Centre for Civil Aviation ? 8am to 5pm everyday plus homework ????

Hi, I have also been looking into doing my ATPL ground studies at LMU, but I won't be there until March next year! I have spoken to the admissions lady on the phone and as far as I could understand from her it is definately a 9-5 intensive course... plus LOTS of homework... (14-15 books to pretty much memorise!)

I'm sure someone who has been there will be able to clarify this in more detail, but would you mind if I PM'd you to find out how it's all going at the university? The more information I can gather, the better I say!

Cheers and good luck!

I am currently doing my ground studies at LMU.

The course will consume your life for the entire 6 months. You will be in class from 9 to 5 each day, and at the end of the day there will be more than enough to study at home.

Throw in the occasional progress tests and the intense studying required to pass some of them, and you will start to have an idea of how much time will be consumed from your average day.

I would not advise for anyone to try to hold a job or any other engagements during the length of the course because it will make life very difficult for you.

The main goal is to spend your time effectively and get the pass marks during the course, then you have the rest of your life to pay off your debts working from the world's most fabulous office!

They have a Beach 200 sim that they use for MCC training, but I'm sure they would hire it out if you wanted it.

Ur mind will be screwed....totally.....but to be honest, when we were there, we had a laugh....just make sure you turn up on time or you'll be in for it.
And everyone.......there are just a few quotes to pick up on:-
1) Just the standard five minutes
2) Right then folks
3) NO NO NO NO!!
4) Going like a pocket rocket.....A love sick bird
5) STUPID BOY!!

Match the phrases to the people and you'll get a booby prize

Sim/London Met

London Met is highly recommended. I had a great time there (LGU in 2002) and think that the ground school staff were superb. Overall most of the class did very well. Notes have been re written and apparently are now much better.

Re the sim, there are two. I cant speak for the more sophisticated one, but the older one, apart from being a little old and long in the tooth (and noisy) is great for the scan. It is possible to hire at an hourly rate (I think) of £25, with a small concession for ex students. At this stage there appears to be a change over of the staff with regards to the sim.

Hope that this assists and I wish you the very best!

LE!

AreYouForReal, others I seem to recall are:

Kin hot and Kin fast oh and not forgetting, Cherry Red.

And did you hear the story about MA in conditions of -40 degrees C, where he took the batteries down to the hotel with him? Ha!

Makes me laugh thinking about it .
