ATPL Theory Preperation

[Sam Breese]

Is anyone here doing or completed there ATPL theory?

I'm starting at Oxford in 2 weeks time, is there anything I can do between then and now apart from brushing up on all my PPL books which I've done?

Quite possibly the worst time ever to start with integrated training but I'm hoping a few years down the line the industry will be on the road to
recovery. It sounds like a better alternative to university anyway.

Good luck, Sam. I applaud your efforts. Are you in the US or Europe?

Sounds like the UK there Joe well, he says Oxford, so if I'm right, that's the airfield only 10 miles away from me!

It could be Oxford, Mississippi.

Didn't know there was one in Mississippi
Anyway,....Sam I wish you the best of luck.

Any good teacher should be able to give some ideas as to what to expect, so it may be worth contacting the training advisor at the airfiled:

There's also the links from the Oxford Air Academy website that may be of use: http://www.oaa.com/

Thank you everyone with all their wishes. It just goes to show.............. I started using flight sim five years ago aged 14, purchased FsPassengers
two years after, did my PPL with IMC and night and now I've been given the opportunity to do this it all for real. It's amazing how such a product can aid and influence your chosen career path.

Yes it's Oxford Aviation Academy in England. After thoroughly researching the many flight schools in the UK OAA came out top trumps for me. Though slightly more expensive then alternate schools they have an excellent record for passing out skilled pilots and the airlines look favourably to OAA students upon graduation. I'm sure I'll let you all know how I'm getting on, especially when I get to some bummer questions on the course.

All the best, and keep on flying!! Sim or for real!

Maybe I'll hop across the channel and we can go fly MEP for a few hours so I can teach/explain you a few things about ATPL
Good luck lad, keep us posted on your progress
