My First ATPL Snag
Ok, so I have done 9 papers and have another 5 to go. Meteorology and Flight Planning are coming up next and that's where I have hit my first snag doing this whole ATPL stuff.
Met..argh Met... I feel as if I will never get my head around this material, despite knowing that I desperately need to. With 13 days to go before my Met paper, I seriously am losing (if not lost already) any form of confidence that I can actually do this. I use the Oxford books (simply because Singapore teaches the ATPL stuff out of there). And it simply erodes my confidence and determination. I would study one chapter out of the book, watch the Oxford CBT and attempt the questions at the back and watch myeslf crumble. A good chunk of the questions at the end of each chapter dont even relate to what is being taught in that chapter and the sudden thought of " Can I actually do this?" sinks in... To be honest, I absolutely hate the Oxford books. Too much unnecessary information imo and alot of time is spent sieving through to find what is needed to know. For Met, seriously, I know this has been asked before but is there absolutely any way to get around it in an effective way? Anyone has any notes? Tips tricks? Whatever that could help... |
Can you not delay Met to the next session? The exam will still be there when you will feel more confident to sit it.
Also I hear you on OAA books, I have given an extensive look at them and they are certainly nice to have, but they wouldn't be my primary source of studying. I suggest you get EASA Professional Pilot Studies in PDF and study Meteorology from there and then watch OAA's CBT – I am sure everything will fall into place as this is my studying strategy. It works for me, it might work for you too. |
That is a pretty good idea. Am talking to Paco about this now. Anything that helps.

And also, delaying is not an option. As it stands, 5 papers left and I want to crank out Met and FPL before I start type training which is gonna be another crazy ball game altogether. So its get it done...or get it done. No 2 ways about it. Lol

I used both the Pad Pilot (Slate-Ed Inc.) and the Jeppesen "books" available in the iTunes store. Pad Pilot is fairly basic compared the Jeppesen, but helped clear up some issues I had as well as being alot easier to read (ie. aeronautical weather for dummies, which btw, I am one of...).
I also liked reviewing with the information found here: www.TheAirlinePilots.com :: Index . |
