Please help, drowning in AGK ATPL !
 

For anyone who can help I'm looking for any good feedback questions or recommended instructors who might be able to help me past my stumbling block.

I realise this a huge subject but am I the only one who finds this stuff hard to learn from a textbook? Trying to get past all the sterotypes about girls and engines.

Yours in anticipation...

If you explain your problem(s) in a little more detail, I'm sure you'll get some useful help here.
I'm sure you want to say 'all of it', but try a few specifics!

well specifically electrics; pressurisation systems; piston engines and generators. And much more!

Anyone got any good sources of information they can recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers. :D

I get the feeling that you are trying to learn all this stuff from text books alone, if this is the case, it can be very difficult to retain. When I took my FE written many years ago (before I had any experience on Jets), it really helped to have visual aids where you could see how these systems worked and interrelate with each other.
If you, like me at that time, do not have the practical background, I suggest you take some classes which can help you with understanding this stuff, alternatively, find an engineer ( that's the member of the Cockpit crew that sits sideways most of the time and blocks the new Flight attendant from getting to the Captain) and have him/her help you over the hump on this stuff.

Many thanks,

I could definately do with some hands on information regarding this topic, things are always easier to learn if you can actually see them at work.
Any good flight engineers near East Anglia who'd like to help?
Ofcourse the trouble with these exams, as I've found is, real life is a lot different to JAR life!
:D :confused:

melissab,

E-mail me. I do not know what you problem area(s) is(are), but I am an ex-PPSC instructor (10 years, and a retired pilot) with six subjects. Anything I can do?

David

Or try Oxford, notes and feedback are superb but it'll cost you a bit..!!!

melissab, you would be well advised to take up Dave Webb's kind offer. I had the pleasure of being taught by Dave at PPSC and he is a true pro, knows the subjects inside out.He got me through them !! :D

many thanks to all who replied to my plee for help, will definately be taking your advice. Here's hoping it will only take 2 attempts to finish these damn exams! :)
