Some interesting advice I am in a situation where I am overseas and require English JAR-FCL 1 exams but must perform practical in Germany and hope that they are compatible (Some people on this Forum will know about this as they have posted some good advice)

I plan to order a Home Study Package from Cranfield Aviation for around £240 this is complete with study help from tutors at Cranfield and is an Accurate extract of what is required for the PPL Exams (so they say). I could not agree more with the PPL confuser statement this is not a good idea and as far as in-depth reading after gaining your PPL emm!! “I have some spare time shall I sit and learn all the ICAO Articles or go to the club”?????

BUT I have the PPL starter pack from Transair (I don’t get paid for all this name dropping) this consists of

Trevor Thom Book 1 Flying training
Trevor Thom Book 2 Aviation Law & Meteorology
Trevor Thom Book 3 Air Navigation
Trevor Thom Book 4 The Aeroplane Technical

Human Factors for Pilots Second edition

CAP 413 Radiotelephony Manual

And all the other accessories Rule CRP computer ETC

Now I don’t believe that studying and taking in every single page of each of the books is possible and then taking the exams and passing the practical all in the allowed 12 months not 18, or so it says in Aviation Law Book 2

I am also looking for some study advice do I just read the books copy word for word etc any previous experience advice would be great

Cheers
