ppl
hi londonboy
i went to the states a couple of months ago and instead of getting my ppl in 3 weeks it took me 4/5.
one of the reasons for this was because i hadnt completed the exams before i went. do as many as you can.
re the books yes u do pretty much need to know the books in a lot of detail. however you can reduce this workload for some of the exams by using the ppl confuser. this has exact if not similar questions to the real exams. do note though that this will only work for the easier exams (communications/human factors) etc as the other ones (law/navigation) do need some understanding from core textbooks (pratt/thom) hope that helps let me know if u need any more advice.
where u doing ur ppl by the way?
