Performance Exam Crammer
 

Need to Cram for the ATPL performance exam.

I need a school to do the course just prior to the exam (NOV 7th)

or....

A very friendly School instructor who will tutor me in the evenings prior to the exam and charge me accordingly.

I will position anywhere in the UK. I just need to get it passed and quick.

I have the Bristol GS notes, need any further help in passing this exam. I havn't done an exam since the CAA ATPL's in 1999

All suggestions considered, thanks in advance.

Performance Exam, Courses & Books
 

Hello guys,

How good are these books by Keith Williams on performance and principles of flight. Am already using Bristol, but am finding it difficult getting my head round these two subjects. Would it be wise spending some more money getting these books and using them as a revision aid ?

Regards
DMan

Sorry, Keith, but I found them a bit heavy going and in more depth than was really required. They are excellent books but I don't think you really have the time to go through all his questions and solutions for one subject whilst studying for another 6 or 7 exams.

Sorry to dissagree with you Ham Phisted but I found them invaluable. Each to their own!

I spent about 2-3 days going through each book. You do not need to learn every question and can skip the areas you understand. I only discovered these books (some had not been written) halfway through my exams. In those subjects where I used the books (my weaker subjects) I got over 90%. The results speak for themselves.

Thanks guys for the reply. I guess I will buy the performance book and see how the exam goes. 2 - 3 days study seems ok.

Regards
DMan

Hi,

I do performance private tuition all the time for people, just PM me if you want, most people only need a fews hours and then the penny drops and the sun starts to shine once more

Is there a book for each subject or just PoF and Performance?
Where can i get hold of these Books?

You can get them direct from Keith at EPTA in Bournemouth.

The "Magic Book" as it became to be known in my ATPL circle of friends is invaluable and WELL worth it.

If you don't invest the time looking through each of the 1000 questions, you're not investing enough time. Work harder! Or spend another £54 lining the pockets of the CAA!

Another purchase I reccomend making are the 'Keynotes For Pilots Key Facts for JAA ATPL' There are two books in the series at £20 each and they cover all the JAA subjects.

The beauty of them is that they contain all the information vital for the exams but not in a huge A4 file. It means you can read them easily in front of the TV, or at work if you want to be discreet.

Anyway, they worked for me.

RE:Performance ATPL Exam Sept 2005
 

Just to let you know thanks to me querying a question (2 pointer graph) on this exam you were all awarded a credit for my complaint regardless if you got in right on wrong...

So those of you which passed with a score of 75%-80% seriously owe me a beer when I get back to England...

G-SPOT never gets lost - i am a navigating king

Try GTS at Bournmouth. Pete Swatton wrote the manual on Performance. www.gtserv.co.uk from memory.

Future Pundit

WHere do you get the books you mentioned from?

Smith

In answer for Future Pundit (account scewed up!) I bought mine from the Transair shop in Gloucester. They are written by Stuart E Smith/Mike T Groves ISBN 0-9540275-2-3 and ISBN 0-9540275-3-1.

I then bought the Keynotes for CPL skills test, however this was not quite as much use due to the differing/evolving methods used by different instructors and schools but again it was useful as a quick reference guide.

Cant seem to find these books in Transair, what is the exact title of them? Thanks

smith

I have dug one book out and the exact title is:
"KEYNOTES FOR PILOTS

KEY FACTS for JAA ATPL Examinations Vol 1" and vol 2

The web pages are:
