One of the principal aims of this book is that it should assist you in preparing for success in the PPL theoretical knowledge examination in ‘Human Performance and Limitations’, whether you are learning to fly aeroplanes or helicopters. A further main aim of the book is to promote the cause of flight safety by enabling student pilots to learn the essentials about the interaction between the human being, the aircraft and the flying environment. Working through this volume will help you understand the human body’s limitations when operating in an aviation environment, and make it less likely that you will ever become the “human factor” in any aircraft accident.

The CRP-1 is designed particularly for the student and private pilot. Easy to handle, it includes all the necessary functions for examination, planning and flying requirements. This model is widely used by flying training organisations in the United Kingdom and throughout the world. Circular slide rule side with clear durable cursor. For calculation and conversion of temperature, time, distance, volume, altitude and density altitude, speed, weight, fuel, endurance, multiplication and division, 1 in 60 rule etc. Coloured scales and lettering enhance operation and clarity. Wind triangle side incorporating sliding scale with speed range of 40-850 and clear rotating disc for lead pencil plotting. Use it for calculation of heading and groundspeed, wind velocity, head and crosswind components etc

• Easy to handle it includes all the neccessary functions for the CAA PPL examinations and general planning and flying requirements.

These United Kingdom 1:500,000 charts are renowned for their high quality, definition and technical content. They offer VFR and radio navigation information including compass roses oriented on Magnetic North centred on the radio navigation facilities and show VOR, DME, co-located VOR/DME, TACANs and NDBs etc. Supplied laminated.

Chinagraph Pencils for marking track lines etc. on laminated charts and Pilots Boards.

This is a water soluble pencil for all, especially smooth surfaces

Felt Chart Markers for marking track lines etc. on laminated charts and Pilot's Boards. Supplied in packets of 4 (red, blue, black and green), with Fine tip with NON Permanent Water Soluble ink.

• Medium nib = 1.0mm wide
• Universal pen for OHP and almost all surfaces, CDs/DVDs
• DRY SAFE: can be left open for up to 2 days without drying up (test ISO 554)
• Waterproof and smudge-proof
• Permanent Neutral-smelling ink
• Fast-drying, refillable
• Brilliant colours
• Light-fast

This is an excellent all in one plotter, originally designed for use in the professional flight tests but so popular we had to redefine its functions for use by student and touring pilots alike. In one plotter the FVP-1 has: · a standard square protractor design, for pre-flight direction measuring · distance measuring in nautical miles in 1:500,000 and 1:1 000,000 scales · a circular compass rose, for plotting radials from an airfield, VOR or way point · a slot along the radial axis of the compass rose for plotting a VOR/DME position, or other bearing/range information (e.g. GPS readout) The FVP-1 is undoubtedly the most useful plotter for any pilot.

It is an essential aid for the JAR PPL skill test, IMC rating and professional flight tests, and is particularly popular with instrument rated, touring and professional pilots.

128mm square. 0-360 scale on out-side edge with reciprocal headings indicated adjacent.
Location letters N.E., S.E., S.W., and N.W on corners.

Centre drilled for location and gridded in squares of 13mm (4 nm). Supplied in self-sealing clear plastic case.

• Standard Flying School Issue

For the student working towards a Private Pilot's Licence, three important test hurdles have to be cleared. They are the two flying skills tests- General Handling and Navigation - and the theoretical knowledge examinations, often referred to as the "ground exams." Passing the ground examinations requires two types of preparation.
You must, of course, learn thoroughly all the subject matter in the different theoretical knowledge disciplines, but then, before you sit the actual examinations, you must also familiarise yourself with the level of difficulty and style of the PPL examination questions themselves. This PPL Examination Preparation CD-ROM from Oxford Aviation Training - one of the world's leading pilot training schools - enables you to do just that.

In addition to all the questions from the complete set of the renowned OAT/Transair PPL Ground Training CD-ROMs, over 540 new questions have been added to this Exam Preparation CD-ROM, making over 1550 questions in all. Using the CD-ROM, you can test yourself on individual examination subjects, or attempt a complete PPL-style examination paper. The CD-ROM will mark your work, give you your result and indicate the questions that you have answered wrongly, inviting you to select the correct answer
