CPL theories begin! ...and flying ends.

The CPL theory course begin next monday on the 27th. After that it's time to stay in the ground and sit in the class everyday listening to lectures. I predict it can at first be quite hard to just sit in the class after all this flying. On the other hand it's quite nice to be able to sit inside in the warm as outside temperature decreases all the time and the weather gets worse.

We got our books and material in advance. In the We will use the blue ATPL-series by Oxford Aviation Academy. Some parts of the subjects will not yet be covered in the CPL course but I think most of the contents will become familiar. I'm actually quite horrified by the amount of stuff to learn, just got to cope with it!

So there's fourteen different books and the ones most important regarding working life are easily recognizable by their small number of pages :)
