Need advice how to study for Bristol ATPL

hi there,

I just purchased Modular 1 and I just thought using this website to ask my fellow coworkers how to study and get it done in 6 months. Should I purchase the question bank right away, or should I wait until I get done with mod 1 and then buy it?

Some people has being telling me to buy it as soon as posible and go through them? any advice please....

I currently fly for a company with a good schedule (fly early in the morning, stay in a hotel all they and fly at night), this means that I can study full time.

Any info please would be nice

thanks

How can you fly commercially without having a commercial licence? If this is because you already hold an ICAO licence and are converting, then your study technique miht be different from someone who is starting from scratch; you should have covered most of the subjects before.

sorry guys, I should be more specific, I'm converting my FAA ATPL to JAA.

If anyone out there that has done mod 1 and 2 in 6 months and know how to get it done please PM me. My concern is when I should start with the question banks???

thanks guys

Hi

I did in 9 months distance learning - doing it in three sittings - 5 + 5 + 4

I used the oxford books + britsol question bank

In general I didnt look at the bristol question until I had gone through the books, concentrating on the chapter questions instead

However for some exams for example air law and op proc i did consult the QB to try and get a feel for the type and depth of questions i might get for a particular subject

Then once that was done .. used QB for revision - to highlight areas where I was weak and need some extra work

Final few weeks 100% QB

This worked for me ... with an average of 96% over the 14 papers

Good luck anyway ..

Best cheer Neil

Finished Mod 1 in almost 3 months (including written exams). My sincere advise, LEARN Gen Nav, Flight planning and M&B, hit and MEMORIZE the QB for the other 5 subjets.

Warlock1. What about learning and/or memorising the QB for Mod 2.... and how accurate is it really?
