Indeed - I’ve most of the apps and have read the books over the years and taken the PPL exams in South Africa in the 90’s. Since then, whilst going in and out of flying hours without completing the license, I’ve read the books etc again so I’m confident I can pass the exams ‘up front’ then concentrate on the flying.
@Beagle. I hadn’t realised it was necessary to have an approved flying school. (I work in technology and if an exam is needed it’s normal to take it at a local college or even at home with an app which can ensure there’s no cheating and I’d hoped that self-study would be an option. Seems not.)
