Yes. You must get all the flight tests and your license, CPL or ATPL, issued within 36 months.

If you do the ATPL theory and get a CPL IR issued then the ATPL theory is frozen until you have enough hours to get an ATPL issued.

If you just do the CPL, and don't bother with the IR, the ATPL theory credit disappears in a puff of smoke after 36 months and, if you ever wanted an ATPL, you would have to do all the exams again.

OXFORD AND BRISTOL ATPL BOOKS FOR DL
 

Anyone seen both sets of new edition OAT and BGS books?

I have Oxford MET, OPS PROCEDURES, COMM and AIR LAW. I need to buy the rest and am wondering if BGS books are better suited to distance learnng.

Distance Learning.. BS / OAT .. study material.
 

Hi all,I'm going to start my ATPL groundschool soon and I've been recommended OAT and BS.I know OAT provide study books, and BS provide a CD, but do both provide both books and CD's?...I'd like to know exactly what study material I will get.Many thanks. :D

I'm currently doing the Bristol gs course, and they provide the books, seven of them to be percise, and they also provide the cd (which is very good!)
Ps I must say, I am very happy with them!!

Sorry... they also provide, student airway manual, basically all the studying material you will need for the exams.

You'll also need a CRP-5 (or similar) whizz wheel at about £75. Add compass, dividers, protractor and a scientific calculator for another tenner and you're good to go (study).

Cheers guys! So what exactly do OAT offer as study material?

15 books in total, 1 of which is referece material (AIC extracts, CAP manuals for Mass & Balance, Performance and Flight Planning.)

Jeppesen Student Airways manual.

CD-ROM Exam question Database. (Like the BGS online database without the advantage of continuous updates!)

Ring binder folder full of the "College assesment Papers" which you complete as you go.

I think thats about it!

Oh and you get a login for their "Virtual College" where they post up snappy animations etc they use for teaching their Full time courses.

Hope this helps!

Oxford Aviation Training Distance Learning Ground School
 

Hello All. I am about to let £2500 go on an ATPL distance learning theory course at Oxford Aviation Training. But, before doing so, I would be very grateful of any info regarding OAT, and the course that they offer. Is there anybody out there who has been and done, or doing this particular course at OAT, or even know of this course at OAT? If so, please let me know.
Thankyou.

Welcome to Pprune. Please take a few minutes - well, hours maybe! - to look at the Archive Reference Threads sticky at the top of the forum. Within that thread are links to many useful topics, including this one about OAT.

Cheers Scroggs,

Tried the search, lots of info on the flying side but noting on the ground school.

Any information in relation to quality of notes from past students would be appreciated?

OAT
 

Hi Starways,
I'm currently enrolled on OATs Distance Learning ATPL Course, although I'm finding some things heavy going and a little difficult I've been quite happy with the help and info they've provided me.
The course as you are probably aware is set out in frames where you have to read so many chapter(s) in one frame then take the end of frame exam(s) to move on to the next one, you can send your results via e-mail or by the hard copy papers they supply, you also get to use OATs virtual college with all sorts of info and Computer aided instruction which are pretty good.
