Helicopter Dreams

So, now it’s time for a new round of theory tests. Qualifying tests at school followed by a test for the authorities in all the subjects covered in the CPL(H) course that will finish in the end of 2009. As I mentioned the first period covers four of the thirteen subjects and last week I passed the QT’s in Air Law and Operational Procedures. My plan now is to write these tests at the authorities on Thursday, wish me good luck.

As I did before, here is the status:

AL (Air Law): QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
OP (Operational Procedures): QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
RNAV (Radio Navigation): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
HP (Human Performance):  QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
COM (Communication): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
AGN (Aircraft General Knowledge): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
AGN INSTR (AGN Instrumentation): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
MB (Mass & Balance): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
FP (Flight Planning & Monitoring): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
PERF (Performance): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
POF (Principles of Flight): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
MET (Meteorology): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)
GNAV (General Navigation): QT (NOT DONE) LFV (NOT DONE)

After gone through two weeks of hard study, covering Air Law, Operational Procedures, Human Performance and Radio Navigation, I now need to study even more to pass first the Qualifying Tests at school and then the exams for the Swedish Aviation Authorities (Luftfartsstyrelsen). A couple of days ago I decided to check on internet for good resources in Radio Navigation and then I found this database with 14 000 JAA ATPL questions that you can use for free! A perfect resource preparing for the exams. The alternative would be to subscribe to the Oxford Aviation database, now that’s just waist of money, I’ll stick to this site instead.

So, maybe you’re interested to check it out, here you are: http://www.aviationtire.com/atpl.cfm

Now it’s time for a glass of wine, it’s Friday night for gods sake, no study tonight!
