PPL exams....

[K5054NZ]

Hi all

Patiently awaiting nice weather on a weekend so I can get Lesson 3 out of the way, but in the meantime I',m looking at exams.

In what order would you recommend doing them? Also, what prep can you suggest?

ANY/ALL help is greatly appreciated.

All at once, very easy!!
If you can track down good notes, i.e. AFS ppl ones

Flight radio and human factors are good to get out of the way first, easy peasy!

All the prep you need is the books from www.pilotbooks.co.nz

Order the recreational pilot's kit and Aviation Medicine and other Human Factors for Pilots

I'd recommend doing them all at once as well, but if you'd rather not then as pois0n says, FRTO and HF are the easiest so they're probably worth doing first.

I did mine in the following order,

FRTO
Air Tech
Met
Law
H/F
Nav.

Note: I havnt actually done Nav yet. I wish I had done it at the same time as Met while I was in a real studying mood!!

I did GATK in '99... and then did not do any others as I had stopped flying...

then in 2003 I finished off the others... pretty much all at the same time, as I did the 8 weekend ground course at AFS which had exams at the end of it...

Apparently, due to law changes, they are now only valid until April 2008... so I am really keen to hurry up and get my flight test done!

Personally I thought the Met one was the hardest of the lot. The others you could pass without breaking in to a sweat.

Mind you, if its still the same set of gimps administering these tests then you are probably f8cked anyway as these f8cking aholes are only interested in making money...not administering effective challenging courses that test your understanding of the subject at hand, not your understanding of the english language.

Dont even get me started on exam questions that dont even have the right answer available to select!

And no, that isnt a chip on my shoulder...thats a god damn chasm the size of the Manawaty Gorge!
