Bristol or ppsc?
 

I am trying to decide on which notes to purchase i am inclined at present to go for PPSC but noticed today in the messages quite a few people had purchased Bristol notes.I would appreciate any feedback on PPSC and anybody who has gone to Bristol what were your reasons for choosing them.

I bought a bunch of secondhand notes from someone, and had both the Bristol and PPSC ones for the navs. I found the PPSC ones completely incomprehensible for many things, while Bristol's notes were much clearer. This was for the CAA exams, but I don't suppose the JAR ones will be that different.

I used Bristol notes for Navs...they were spot on. Mates using "other" notes used mine to clarify issues. Bristols brush-up = full pass. Used PPSC notes for techs (Bristol had none) followed by Bristol brush-up....full pass. I think what I am saying is go for Bristol!

Sorry to complicate the issue but how do Oxford's notes compare?

Tarmach.

Ive got both Bristols and PPSCs JAR ATPL notes and Bristols are better by far.

Ta!

A BIT EXTRA FOR MUM.

I must admit that I chose to go with Bristol as a direct result of feedback on PPRuNe.

I was looking at many distance learning providers for the ATPL theory. After getting in touch with all of them, I decided that Bristol was the best for many reasons, including the ones stated so far.

I guess the acid-test will be my exams this year!

I had a look at the Bristol Notes today and I was very impressed. They are very clear and make it easy to understand - also they are printed in colour which helps!

PPSC are fairly good to, however looking at both I would go for Bristol, they just seem to have the edge!

No experience of Bristol, but I did a distance learning PPL/IR course with PPSC last year.

The notes (particularly the air law) were a bit dry, and often needed clarification. However the support from the school was ALWAYS second to none, and the 5 day brush up course at the end of the DL course was excellent (and helped a great deal).

I passed all 7 PPL/IR exams... and surprised myself in so doing!
