PPL Confuser
Having recently borrowed a copy from a friend of mine, I have to ask: Are they taking the Michael with the picture on the front cover?
It features the cheesiest looking pair of airline pilots grinning with their thumbs up. Outside the cockpit window a mid-air with a light twin is imminent and is that an engine fire indication on the glare shield?

Obviously I don't think it is a real picture, and it did make me laugh. I'm not sure if the Leslie Nielsen style comedy is deliberate or it's just amateurish artwork. My betting is on the latter.

An ideal photo to start a caption competition
Both pilots turn to the photographer and point up and ask him to check.
"do we turn right or climb air law was so long ago" ?
I'm sure someone will have a corker

That pic has been all over the internet for a few years now, and is used in various training advertisements in the USA too.
Very funny
The PPL Confuser is a great training/study aid. If anybody is taking the micky it is the book taking the micky out of the CAA/JAA syllabus word plays that you have to memorise to get a PPL.

do not dismiss the importance of the PPL confuser so lightheartedly.
It is a useful studying tool and also represents Thailand's second biggest export product after rice !
In fact, the confuser itself is the only book commercially available in the western world printed on 100% rice paper !

I saw that picture (again and for the umpteenth time) last weekend. CRM brush-up.
The accompanying question is, "Who's flying the aeroplane?"
We thought that it was a response to the stewardess having heard the "Pull up!" call, re-arranging her skirt!
