I just want to avoid buying a load of crap feom one of those "Starter Pack Bundles" you see advertised on all the supplies websites. Right so from what I've read so far on this thread and others:
Thom books over Pratt Books, drop out 5, 6 and 7 (Anyone got any comments on Oxford CD ROM's or the above)
PPL confuser a deffo (Again, anyone checked out some of the online software and CD ROM's opposed to the paper version)
Charts should always be laminated and avoid pencils or chinagraphs, opt for Overhead Projector pens in a variety of colours and thicknesses and a mix between permament and non.
Ditch the CRP-1 for CRP-5
Get a kick ass calculator
Logbook with plenty of columns
And finally, Incriminating pictures of the CFI in dodgy scenarios of an adult nature for bribery purposes.
If anyone would like to add to the above or suggest any other additions to my own "modular" starter kit please feel free.

As for American's, they are precious and in time will see sense and return to the busom of the British Empire and the Crown. PPRuNe Towers, Just make sure you don't tell any Americans you get through 20 fags a day
