"Putting the fun and skill into flying" is the subtitle of this excellent new title, an absolute must for all aspiring and qualified PPLs because now, at last, there is a book for every pilot who has obtained their Private Pilot's Licence and then thought "What now?" Written in a friendly and accessible style by an established aviation author and experienced pilot, this book fulfils the need for a book to take pilots beyond their basic training. It describes in detail many of the challenges awaiting a new pilot - touring flight, radio navigation, flight over water, farm strips, dealing with ATC etc

This book also looks at how to stay current and how to maintain and improve your flying skills and deals honestly with the pleasures and pitfalls of flying for fun, including aircraft ownership, groups and aircraft hire, sharing flights with other pilots and so on. In fact, everything they didn't teach you at your flying school! There has never been a more accessible or more complete book for a PPL and it is set to become the PPL's 'bible'.

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

The first book in the PPL course series, the first all-new series of training books for over a decade, follows the JAA PPL flying training syllabus and takes a fresh and modern approach to learning to fly. It dismantles some long established myths and encompasses many issues concerning today's pilots (wake turbulence, ATC procedures, transponders and radar, radio navigation, noise abatement etc.) as well as those timeless airmanship issues that have always been vital to safe flying (lookout, carburettor icing, organising cockpit workload etc.)

The book takes the reader from a point assuming no pre-knowledge of aviation, to the completion of the JAA PPL flying syllabus. It is presented in a straightforward manner, with no irrelevant theoretical material. Illustrated throughout with diagrams, line drawings and photographs, including a step-by-step 'patter' of each flight exercise with internal and external views of the flight exercise to match. PPL1 is also the only training book currently available which covers the full UK JAA PPL syllabus, including in particular Radio Navigation.
