Study Materials Prior to Class

[Cdg121990]

Hi All,

I start dispatch school in January, and was wondering if you have any study material recommendations prior to class.

I already completed the ADX written exam with Shepard air, so that is out of the way.

Thanks!

Memorize all the dialogue from the movie "Airplane!"

On a more serious note, learning how to read weather (METARs and TAFs) would probably give you a good leg up for the first part of class. And, good job on getting the written out of the way.

I second this. Going through class now and learning METARs and TAFs beforehand makes everything so much easier. Try to learn a lot of the common abbreviations also if you don't know them, like MINTO, MTOW, MZFW, MLW, ALS, LOC, GS etc. - this has seemed to trip up a few of my classmates.

If you have extra time, spend some time with approach plates and go over landing minimums.

Highly suggest reading over the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautic Knowledge (particularly Weather) and familiarizing yourself on Instrument flight rules / procedures.
