FI course preparation
I may well be doing my FI(H) course in the next few months. I'd like to get some advice about how to prepare.
First, what sort of stuff do I need to bone up on beforehand to ensure time in the classroom and in the air isn't wasted ? How did you prepare, and what would you have done differently ?
Secondly - this is aimed more at the people running the courses. What do you think a student should do to maximise the chances of passing the test and getting the most learning out of the course ? And what should the student make sure he/she gets best value out of the instructor ?

I think either Whirlygirl or Whirlybird did a diary/thread while she was doing her FI course a few years ago, which maybe of some help. I've done a search without success, but it must be out there somewhere.

That would have been Whirlybird - I forgot about the thread. Ta.
BTW, the diary starts in and old thread, here - starts post 66.

Preparations for FI(H)
Preapartion for FI course? Simple to say but hard work to do: prepare for the ground subjects as you did for your CPL exams - except to be able to teach them rather than answer mutiple choice questions!

Booked to start with Mike Green up at Booker on 26th July. Holiday booked, money sorted, almost all set to go.
And I've never kept a diary in my life - what makes people think this will be different ?!

Nr Fairy,
Your best bet will be to ask Heli Services themselves. I'm sure that they'd be happy to share any contact info with you.
Best of luck.

PS It's not called Booker anymore.
