![]() ![]() So it can be sometimes difficult to see if you're answer is correct or not. The issue with self studying is that practice exams are no longer correct as your maps change every 3 months. ![]() Some people have studied this from old notes, but you've gotta be super intelligent and understand the process behind everything really well. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Nathan, its just I'd prefer to go through Andrew as there's less costs associated and its more of a 1 on 1 situation, which to me feels like more bang for your buck. And Andrew also states that if you don't pass you're more than welcome to sit on in, in the next course free of charge. Nathan's course is only 9 days, where Andrews is 2 weeks + Ongoing support. Others will tell you to go to Nathan Higgins over in Queensland, the issue is that you've have to pay for flights, accommodation and everything associated with travelling all to be stuck in a classroom with 40 other Students. He does everything online, but he requires around 4 students to put a course together, so if you know of 3 others who want to tackle this subject all at once, then this is by far your best option. He doesn't do much theory providing anymore, but he does tutor and do the hard subjects like Flight Planning and Performance and Loading and IREX. I did the course through Andrew who specializes in ATPL and IREX theory over in Perth. You will get questions on High Altitude charts and Jet streams so be prepared, everything else is very similar to CPL Met.įlight Planning - Andrew Baumanis Online Course ( 2 Weeks )įlight Planning is the hardest subject that most students struggle to pass. CPL Met and ATPL Met are practically identical, except that with the ATPL exam you have to understand how High Altitude charts work, and the weather that's associated ( Jet Stream's ). You could use the Bob Tait CPL Meteorology book as a reference if need be. There's no casa bullshit questions, Its either you're right or you're wrong. This was the easiest exam that I experienced. Meteorology - FTA Notes and Bob Tait's CPL Meteorology Book Overall for Human factors, remember all the key facts from the Bob Tait book and have a really good understanding of how Threat and Error Management works, I've had mates in the past have a third of their exam consist of TEM's. ![]() I've had mates pass on just the Bob Tait book, but I think that may have came down to a bit of luck. Bob Tait's CPL book will get you 75% of the way there, there's a little bit extra that you need which is covered in the FTA notes. I ended up getting 88% after using some of the FTA notes. I struggled to Understand Threat and Error Management, and how it was written in the actual exam can sometimes throw you off. People Online will tell you that Human Factors is quite easy, but realistically it actually harder than everyone perceives. Human Factors - Bob Tait's CPL Human Factors Book in combination with Flight Theory Adelaide Notes. I used the following notes for each exam : The only way you can get around this is by checking whats in the Manual of standards on the casa website, and then studying accordingly. Also in Nathan's notes there are a few areas that don't apply to your exam. Nathan's notes are pretty good, but on some concepts he's only given a one sentence description of how that object / concept works, when really he should be describing it in as much detail as possible and also giving examples. The downside however to these notes being really good is that there is a lot of material in there that whilst is good to know, doesn't apply to the exam that you're studying. Basically the stuff that I and many other instructors have been using are old recycled notes from Nathan Higgins over at Advanced Flight Theory and also some notes from Flight Theory Adelaide, who as you know do training programs for multiple Airlines throughout the world, so their stuff is very good. The ATPL Subject's aren't fun, and trying to find the study material is also pretty complicated. Just as a reference I only had a PPL at the time, so there's no reason why the inexperienced pilot can't complete these exams. I'm doing this purely because I wish I had something like this when I was studying, and also to help those who are struggling. So I Just completed my last ATPL subject and I thought that I'd shed some light on the experiences that I've had with each subject and the exams associated with them.
