Study Materials. What do you do with yours?
What do you do with your old study materials?
After the course is over and you have, hopefully, passed what do you do with your books and reference material?
Personally I keep all of mine for future reference or revision... you never know what you might want to know or recall in the future.. Yes I have a lot of books both from flying and work - but at least I know I can look back on them if need be.
However there seems to be a lot of books and study aids advertised on Ebay and similar sites and of course the occasional 'offer' here on PPRuNe.
What do you do? And why?

Create a large pile of paper and folders at the back of the attic. There is that nagging feeling of "if I chuck it out I will need it".
It looks impressive if anyone asks how much studying did you have to do to become a pilot. Also it proves to the wife I didn't spend 10 months just p!ssing ₤25k up a wall.

Just burnt the whole lot! They brought back too many traumatic memories of the whole complete waste of time, effort and money.

If we're talking books from french class they're all ashes now.
Buuut I guess your talking about flite stuff.
Nice to have and look back at. Not the CPl stuff though. Tech stuff's nice to keep. RAR's not that fun to save.
Always a delight looking back at old tech-charts of planes you've flown. Rules change, no reason to keep'em.

Well,
as I'm a student (Yes, shock-horror!) at the moment, I haven't finished with my study material, but when I am finished, I'll keep them so if I need to revise a past topic, that I need to "brush up" on, I won't have to buy new books!

Maybee......but surely it can't hurt to hang on to study mateirials - you never know how or when you might need them.
Besides, it's true you can show them to other people and bost about the volume of the study mateirial in question!!!

I went back over some of my old ATPL stuff (from 10 years ago!) for a recent Emirates interview. I was glad I did, and I passed. Stuff like met and aerodynamics never changes. Of course if you're really sure your first job will be your last you'll never need any of it again.
