ppl exams

Ah ok cool, at least you get to stay in your own bed at night, always a bonus.

If you’re hitting mid 90s on the Bristol database you will breeze through, although as you know the CAA have a nasty habit of inserting new questions into some exams, when we did HPL there were 15 new questions in the exam, not good

Silsoe is only about 45 minutes away so I’m risking a drive with a healthy time margin.

We have had this last week off so it feels like I know nothing but I’m doing rather well on Bristol.

Good luck, you staying at the conference centre? if so I hope you don’t get some rowdy EZY students there like I did, all the building work has now been completed as well so that’s a bonus, and if you want to eat try the Star & Garter pub just up the road, it’s pretty good for what it is 😉

And J how did the exams go?

Cheers.

Got Ops and Instruments on Tuesday. 🙁

Looks like you are doing 3 modules? anyway out of those exams be careful of Ops Procedures & Instruments, if you get a bad exam they can bite you real bad, you’ll be good though, the workload looks nice & light compared to the ol’ 2 module route, good luck and let me know how you go

Used to own a part in a Jodel then a Maule, now sold off. I am a member of a non-for-profit flying club and can fly a Cessna 172 for about £85/tacho hour so that helps the budget.

Noooo, it is with grit, determination, a PC and some paper 🙂 Ground theory only this stage toward getting a commercial licence. I passed my fixed-wing private licence some time ago.

You lucky b*****! anyway 😀

Not for the R22, being near the Tiger Club 😉

Oh right cool do you own a plane at all? Yeah sometimes see the Tiger Clubs Tigger over my house 😉 .

Deano, I’m studying with AFT and Coventry who employ a three mod term, with 2 months per term. I’m doing the first round of exams next week at Silsoe; AGK, Instruments, Ops Procs and Comms. Should be finished by February.

Is that with a R22? I am hoping to have chopper lessons for my birthday next year at Headcorn:)

PPl confuser

Hi j1969,
I visited Kiwiland in 2003 and got some flight time in at New Plymouth, it was a wonderful experience.
A good website is www.caa.govt.nz, NZ CAA publish a number of booklets such as How to….navigate the rules, mountain flying and many others.
Very good they are too
Booklets can be obtained from :
Safety Education and Publishing Unit
Civil Aviation Authority,
P O Box 31 441,
Lower Hutt,
New Zealand

hehe

Good luck J, hope you do well, if we can help in any way then post away, and good luck with your ATPLs Blue, when are you taking them? luckily I got mine out the way in May, are you doing yours with Bristol?

You can still use the confuser to check your learning though. You may have to run a “tutor check” with yourself to say “well NZ doesn’t exam that topic” or “NZ does exam that topic whilst JAA doesn’t go into it in much detail really, therefore I’d better just gen up on it”

ATPL students eh? Seem to know-it-all 😉

Hi guys than thanks for the info ah well first exam today

Here goes

Hiya J

I would imagine as Blue has said that the content would be slightly different, but I guess it’s the same as the ATPLs here, all they would really do is tinker with the wordings, like, how many different ways can you ask the same question? the content is bound to be the same, Meteorology for instance, cloud formation would be the same here as it is in NZ, Air Law will be slightly different for obvious reasons, I guess if you learn the subjects first, then use the confuser to back up the knowledge you have then it can’t be a bad thing anyway, have you not got anything like the PPL confuser in NZ? (I guess you wouldn’t ask if you had) it maybe worth having a word with your flight instructor to see what he recommends you do

Keep us informed

If it is valid, there are plenty of PPL confusers floating around on eBay….

Can’t say for certain but given the two different aviation authorities, there are bound to be differences.
