Also when people talk about asking ATP to send all the books what does this include?
[/ QUOTE ] Here's what I got...
1. Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial Manual (Large Textbook, Great Resource!)
2. The Turbine Engine Manual
3. Gleim Books for Instrument/Commercial/FIA/FOI
4. ASA Oral Exam Guides for each checkride
5. PTS's for each checkride
6. FAA books: Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook, and Aviation Instructors Handbook
7. Piper Seminole Supplement
8. Piper Seminole POH
9. Cessna 172 POH
10. FAR/AIM
11. A 3 ring student binder with daily quizes and pre-tests.
12. 3 ATP polo shirts
13. An ATP Backpack to carry the whole load!
All in all, I felt pretty prepared going into the writtens. I took the Instrument and Instrument Instructor first since they are out of the same test bank (2 weeks study time for me), then I took the CAX (1 week study time), then the FIA (1 week study time), and lastly the FOI after less than a day of studying.
Good Luck!
