This week was ATPL theory week 2: Meteorology, Navigation. I was away for a big part of the week at the European championships in France however, so the study time this week was very limited.
I was lucky enough to see two games this week, Russia v Slovakia in Lille and England V Wales in Lens! Both games had really great atmosphere and despite the UK media only reporting the small pockets of trouble I saw none at all!
I got a chance to use the iPad app for the first time while traveling and the program works really well. It is a well thought out interactive program that replicates the desktop version very well.
I think when I am traveling I will just use the iPad version, as it seems to have all the features or at least the major features of the desktop application.
The subjects that I got through this week were temperatures and distance on the earth. This was learning how the environment cools and heats and the different methods of energy transfer from different states (like from solid to liquid) etc.
I then got my first taste of navigation and learned about longitude and latitude and how to work out distances traveled.
I also had my first progress test, this was the just a test on the first three met subjects that I had studied, I think there were 35 questions in total and you needed around 75% to pass.
Next week I will hit the books double hard to make up for the slower progress this week.
