Thanks for the replies, i'll start working my way through the air law and operations book (leaving out communication which i assume is J. Pratt's radiotelephony section). That'll give me a chance to get back in to study mode! It's been a while since i sat any exams!
RTN11 - I have the PPL Questions and Answers Simplifier book which goes with the series, it seems to be quite substantial. Would this be the equivalent of the books you mention or should i look into getting another?
I'll also look into getting a simple flight computer such as the CRP-1 as you mention The500man, if anyone has one they don't need let me know!
Thanks again,
Kai.
