ATPL theory week 3: Instrumentation

I thought I would update with my progress through ATPL theory week 3: Instrumentation.

I was finding the General Navigation quite hard to get my head around, so I decided to book myself onto the next accelerator course down in Bristol. This isn’t until the first week of August so for that reason I have decided that rather than struggle through the lessons I will leave all the General Navigation lessons until after I have done the accelerator course. The accelerator course is included in the price for the course so I will just have to pay for petrol and one nights stay at a B&B.
I am finding that I am not liking the Bristol system of a few lessons from one subject, followed by a few lessons from another then a few lessons from something else. I have decided I am going to go through the course subject by subject which is the way that I am used to studying, so over the next few weeks I will be going through instrumentation before coming back to Met!
I did a lot of instrumentation this week the subjects covered included pitot tubes, air speed indicators, altimeters, configuration errors, angle of attack, accelerators, Air data computers, VSI & AOA.
I prefer this subject to subjects like General Navigation which uses a lot of reasonably complex mathematics.
As you can see I am slightly under target from where I should be so this module will probably take me a bit longer than I anticipated to complete, but this is fine and not an issue.
