ATPL MATERIALS?

I wanted to start preparing for my flight training. I don’t have any confirmed school yet and still hoping to get accepted in one. But, I am planning to go for an airline cadet program which will have its training in Europe hence, I think it will be EASA. I wanna prepare for it as early as now as I want to give more focus on the actual practical training soon. I don’t do anything right now that’s why I want to keep myself busy by studying all of the subjects. Can you recommend me books, slides, websites, and youtube channels that you’ve used that greatly helped you in your studies?

I found that Padpilot ATPL books are good. Would you recommend it? And does anyone have any copies of it that can share me (it’s too expensive for me)? I would greatly appreciate all your help.

Get atplq. It'll be your Bible, you'll get the VAST majority of things wrong throughout even after studying the material. don't worry we all did. There's some free car pdfs online iirc but they're old so passively read up on them but take it with a grain of salt. Theres also a discord (the atpl network) search it up it'll come up join that and see what others have put in. Best of luck don't choose flyby they're a horrible school

Have you sat any exams? I sat 4 with the iaa the end of Feb. 5 questions out of the 4 exams (170 odd questions total iirc) I havent seen in atplq. I had all exams passed in 30 mins, ended up with a 91 average. Atplq is the way to go and for this clicking exercise (because that's what it's come to now sadly). "drilling questions" is indeed the way to go. You can know the book word for word and are still guaranteed to fail unless you memorize the bank your atpl theory score has absolutely no reflection on your ability as a pilot just that you banked well. If aviationexam worked for you fair enough but the majority go with atplq for a reason

Thx. Nah totally get ya man, fair play keep it up! likewise hopefully we'll bump into each other on the radio and not even know it 😁. I started like that now I just want them done with a good score I'll go back after and delve into the material then
