Week 18: ATPL Ground School Week 18

Tough week we had, with 5 papers and never ending revision which only stopped after school on Thursday when we have completed all progress tests. I managed to scrape through all except one; Radio Aids. Failed by one incorrect answer. No excuses though, I should be passing the tests with at least a score of 80% just to be on the safe side.

It was our first taste of how heavy the tests can be when being conducted on consecutive days. It was daunting initially, but I believe we will all be accustomed to it soon and be able to handle the load much better as time goes by.

Lessons this week were fewer with time taken up for the tests. Radio Aids and Instruments are really taking a toll on us due to the speed we have to digest the content. Navigation is on the last part of the syllabus which is Plotting, a topic which we found out isn't going to be a walk in the park even though it can be quite straightforward. We have to work a lightning speeds in order to finish the plotting. More on Plotting will be covered in this coming week.

On the final day of the week we had also started on another new subject called Meteorology Practical. What it does is to train us to decipher symbols and numbers, data which we can translate to weather forecasts. It is another memory intensive subject, and it definitely doesn't look easy.

Hectic, exhausting, draining. As of today, we are 45 days away from the first day of ATPL Exams.

It is getting scary.

Thank god plotting is being done on a small A4 sheet map and not the huge Jeppesen Charts I initially thought
