Dear Gally2
For Air Law read CAP393 UK air Navigation order
Its free from the CAA at
CAP393: Air Navigation: The Order and the Regulations | Publications | About the CAA
The most important part is the SECTION 2 THE RULES OF THE AIR REGULATIONS 2007
This version was up to date 1/1/12 and is the current version
That will cover a large part of what you must know for Air Law.
Additionally you will need CAP413 which is Radiotelephony Manual
CAP 413: Radiotelephony Manual | Publications | About the CAA.
That will tell you everything you need to know for RT.
Also visit the following for the full list of Free CAA publications
List of Flight Crew Licensing Publications | Publications | About the CAA
Also take a look at the RAF text books AP3456 at
RAF College Cranwell - The RAF Manual Of Flying (AP3456)
The RAF Manuals are far superior to any of the text book you purchase.However they also go in to much more detail, they used to cost around £35 each but also come with a free amendment service.
Now as Euro land control our world you might need to go to the EASA world
at
EASA - European Aviation Safety Agency. BEagle who visits this forum some times can advise you, try to PM him he is the real expert.
Somewhere there you might find the syllabus,s for the ground subjects and flying syllabus. Or go to AOPA at
General Aviation's largest, most influential association in the world - AOPA , Join them and they can help a lot.
Now re the PPL confuser its Ten years out of date but the question are good practice, the only real thing that's really changed is Air Law, the Met , Nav, Systems are all still relevant but different as they are EASA world. Now I have one if you want it its well used but intact, you can have it but pls pay £10 for post and packing.
On a general note as others have said,' don't just learn to Pass the exams'
Learn to understand. Also just to check out your instructor, Ask them where you can find the Rules of the Air? (50% wont know)
Additionally you will also learn a lot from something we used to call the Air Pilot. Now called the AIP. Tells you all about NOTAMs AICs and lots of other goodies.
Go to
NATS | AIS - Home
sign up its free.
Additionally for aviation Met go to
https://secure.metoffice.gov.uk/logon.jsp, register for a free account.
The above will provide you with most of what you need to know without paying.
Have fun you lucky chap and enjoy your training don't rush it,
