d. just before top of climb

3. One effect of a lower stalling speed on the landing performance of an aircraft is to?

teemosssss, sorry to hear about the failure , the PPL has a very high failure rate.

I don't know if anyone has recommended it, but sit the CPL exams and not the PPL.

They are valid for the PPL as well.

Rather than listing questions , can you load up your KDR's remove any personal detail, you may get more help where you are lacking in knowledge

These are fairly basic questions - who did your training?

Hi Ersa, can you point me in the right direction for this, where I can do CPL theory exams in place of my PPL, most places I've looked at including bristol ground school afaik require full PPL licence before continuing any of the CPL ATPL stuff. Which would have required the PPL theory test. Is this contingent upon geohraphic criteria, i.e outside of europe. If not if you point me towards a particular school I'd be very interested in doing it this way. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I echo what paco has said above.

I spent many years teaching this stuff to ppl students (in addition to ATPL). Failures at ppl level were rare.

The only way you can do EASA training without a PPL is on an integrated course. Otherwise, modular training requires an ICAO PPL before you can start.

The poster mentioned BGS, so I assumed he was thinking in terms of EASA.
