ppl exams
Hi all
Advance apologies if this question is in the wrong forum.
Does anybody know if your results from the theory exams for PPL are shown on your licence at all.
Passed Air Law 2 weeks ago now doing human factors.
It seems there is no certificate to show that you have actually done the exams!!
Any views on this?
Many Thanks

The results are not shown on your licence - so you just need to pass them 
The application for that you will eventually submit to get your licence will have a space for the examiner to write your exam results.

Results
You can always ask to see your training record-they should be shown on there,don't know if the actual mark is shown though.
Training records need to be kept up to date in case you move to another school ( like I did) part way through your training.
Good luck

Good luck with the solo - its a great milestone to reach!
I found there was an incentive to pass the Air Law, ie, the solo but now I need a right kick up the backside to get the other exams out the way.
Keep plugging away at those books!

Thats great news!!it was the same for me naturally the Air Law is a biggie!! I passed with 87.5%! I was really surprised just hope i still remember all the Airspace rules!! later on down the line i thought that was quite heavy going. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on that particular area.
Passed human performance yesterday, im looking towards principles of flight now bedtime reading!!

Your Examiner should enter your exam results on your PPL application form after marking your paper and debriefing you. Insist that he/she does!
I've never charged anyone learning to fly at the Club anything for an exam - at least, not for the first attempt. But I reserve the right to charge for any re-takes as the financial impact of this concept tends to concentrate the mind......

I fly from Sherburn and they charge £12 per exam If I recall correctly, but there is obviously a memberhsip fee to take into account.
WALsue I didnt realise there were such videos on youtube can you suggest any really useful ones and what their titles are?

i agree with WALSUE Air Law gave me such a headache glad its out of the way
I thought Rules of the Air was quite interesting.
my Airfield does charge £70.00 for membership too, but frankly i dont see what you get for it only £6.00 off the hourly aircraft hire rate!!!
no news letter of any sort or invitation to the odd barndance either!!!
but its a very friendly atmosphere.
really looking forward to my solo, my instructor allowed me to descend to around 80 feet before he took over and landed a great experience another 30secs or so and the wheels would have been on tera firma!!
