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
MM

When I did mine the CFI marked the test and signed his name in my training record as the examiner along with my pass mark.

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!

ppl

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!!

i agree with the above!

I passed air law in sept 08, also completed RT written 100%, Met 92% I think and Nav today 80%.

Going to do flight planning and performance next then aircraft technical then human performance and complete the RT practical at the end.

Im on 30 hours...

£30 per exam seems pretty standard.

Remember you only get 3 attempts at each, so study hard before you go for that first sitting.

After Air Law, anything seems interesting!
Take a look at YouTube too, there are some decent Ground School videos on there. Just makes a change from constantly 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?

Talking

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!!

does any one know why manchester airport has changed its runway bearings from 24 to 23 and the reciprocal runway?
has anyone visited the airport pub at manchester what a great day out last week end the weather was fab, shame the wind was blowing from the west as the aircraft were taking off from 05left so the aircraft were on the otherside of the runway

It's a shame i really liked sherburn but in the timeframe that i wanted to complete my ppl they said it couldn't be done due to instructor availability and weather
