ATPL study Material
I'm going to be flying in the bush again this summer but have decided that I would like to write my A's in the fall. I'm looking to order some good self-study material and I'm just wondering if I could get some insight on what is most helpful. I've heard good things about the aerocourse 'airline transport pilot licence workbook'. Opinions?? Does anyone know anything about the 2012 Airline Transport Pilot Exam Preparation Guide or the ATPL Study Manual 2011?? Or is there something better out there??Thanks in advance!
Re: ATPL study Material
Hi LLJ, I used the 'Airline Transport Pilot License Workbook' from Aerocourse to help me study for my ATPL tests and I recommend it. I don't know too much about the materials that are out there but this workbook provided me with most of the information that I needed. I also attended the course offered Aerocourse which also helped out a lot. I would recommend the workbook if you have a lot of time to study. Unfortunately I don't anything about the 2012 prep guide and the 2011 study manual

Re: ATPL study Material
I used the Aerocourse material and highly recommend it. I also took the course in YWG and you get things from the course that aren't in the manuals. Anyone who's taken the course will learn to love those photocopied sheets of previously asked questions that came right from the TC exams.

Re: ATPL study Material
CANADIAN ATPL? Just go outside on a warm night with a couple of beers or a bottle of wine, have a nice dinner with a girl you like, do what comes naturally, go to bed early, wake up in the morning and go write them. It's a pair of multiple-choice quizzes. Shouldn't take you more than 40 minutes for both of them.
If you simply MUST study, Aerocourse is fine.
EDIT... sorry, not helpful. The aerocourse is a good exam prep. If you know someone who has taken it previously, see if they will be willing to part with the aforementioned photocopied exam questions, and use them to help you find the right things to study in the Air Command Weather Manual, AIP, erm, AIM I mean, CARS, Instrument Procedures Manual, &c.
Then go back and sign up for aerocourse and pay attention. Study for a day or two afterward and write both exams within a week of doing the aerocourse seminars.
Too much studying is better than not enough studying, but try not to get too worked up. They are not difficult exams.

Re: ATPL study Material
Aerocourse books are great for studying, make sure you understand the answer to the question, not just memorize the answer to said question and you'll do fine. If you can get your hands on the aerocourse notes book as well it will be a benefit, i think they only give them out to people who attend the course though.
If you really feel the need to pay someone 400 bucks to read you a book, then by all means take the course, completely unneccesary though. I studied from the aerocourse books for 4 hours a day for a week and wrote both exams on the same day....not nearly as hard as people make them out to be
best of luck
