PPL exam papers are issued to schools and are looked after by a nominated examiner. Some Schools/Examiners are happy to set exams for people who are not members of the School/Club. Some are a little wary of people requesting individual exams, as there have been cases of candidates failing an exam and then going elswhere after they have been loaded with the answers.

What you must be aware of is that the exams are only valid for a UK issued JAA licence, they have no validity in any other State. You also need to have the passes entered on CAA form No SRG 1105 and Section 7 signed off by the examiner. You will need to show this at the school where you training because you need proof of having passed all theoretical exams before you can sit the Skill Test. You will also need a radio licence which involves a practical test (Section 8) if you are going fora UK JAA PPL.

One or two people specialise in PPL groundschool, Barton, Bournemouth, Coventry.
