Hi,
I just started training for a private pilot license.
I found a book on Amazon.com called
"Airplane Trivia" which I found fascinating.
Can anyone recommend any other
test or quiz books for a beginner?
Thanks, Patsy.:)

PPL Confuser or PPL Perfector are great for exam questions amd answers. Personally i like the Oxford Aviation interactive CD ROMS, but you may prefer Books?

CATS Global Landing Page (http://www.catsground.com/) another great site to visit...

The more you study the theory, the more it will sink in. :)

When I was studying for my PPL a year or so ago, I found the www.airquiz.com (http://www.airquiz.com) site to be very good, and would recommend it.

Now I am studying for a IMC, I have again started using it, and in the last couple of weeks, started getting reasonable scores. However, I have also started studying the IMC Confuser, and I find there is a marked difference in the phrasing of questions between the two. Can someone who has taken the examination comment on the similarity of both to the actual exam ?

Another one for Airquiz - considering you get all the subjects for £20 vs. 30 for a single written resit, it's great value for money. Plus it's constantly updated (see News at the top). I remember several questions with out-of-date answers on the Trevor Thom books, airquiz had the correct data. The tricky ones also have an explanation with pictures/graphs etc.

On the down side the wording is completely different (intentionally?) from the CAA papers, so in response to BobD I would expect the same for the IMCR.

The "Exam Secrets Guides" have questions taken directly from the exam papers, no IMC book yet.

I bought the whole lot - money well spent :ok:
