Formulas

Bit of a long shot, and I don't quite know where to put this question, (so apologies if it's in the wrong place)

Is there a book, or website address (or anything at all), which lists all formulas, (or an example of formulas), used in the ATPL/CPL subjects - (ie, met, nav etc), in the same place?

Not that I've found but, when I was studying, I put each formula, nemonic, conversion factors etc that I found into a little notebook which I carried with me.

I would try to memorise these at every opportunity.

However, now I've done this .... you've given me an idea!

Cheers

I did the same thing, but with index cards. It works realy well for me to first look the formulas up and then write them down as a part of the lerning process. I eaven thought of getting the lift formula as a tatoo...

Whirlygig, I have had that idea too, mayby I will beat you to it

Today's Pilot has the conversion factors listed. I 'Googled' Pilot Conversions Factors a while ago and it came up with a host of sites that had it.

I'm just starting out as you may have seen from my other posts and rekon the little notebook trick is a great idea to memorise the formulae and conversion factors. Who ever said PPRUNE has lost its usefullness for newbies!

Do you have that reference guide yourself, or anyone else? Happy with it?

Alex, thanks very much for the post.

I was PMd by another PPRuNe member yesterday, who very kindly sent me exactly the same file, the contents of which are really useful.

Thanks to everyone who responded
