Suggested reading for pilot training?

Hi All,

I was hoping some of you could suggest some prior reading/study before my PPL course in March. I'm a bit worried as I have not done A-level Maths and Science since 1996. I've done some aptitude tests already and it all checks out (I'm less stupid than I previously thought:-). I suppose nothing better than being prepared !!!

Your expert opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Frank

I bought the following and am cracking through the books. Think this is the best way to go. I wouldnt worry, I did A levels in 2000 but it is not really that important. The subject material is not that complex

The most difficult exam is Air Law IMO. The math and science is about the level of first year high school.

You might like to try this . . . .

PPL and IMC Theory Exam Preparation

I've not tried the JAA PPL package, but over the last few years I used software from the same company to pass the FAA Commercial, Instrument and ATP written exams, and that was absolutely excellent. I have no reason to assume that this would be any less good.

good to know.

Im studying MET at the minute when I get chance between shifts. Hoping to do the exam in 10 days. There is only around 100 or so pages in the book so think this will be enough time.
