PPL Exams - all to be finished ?
I have a question regarding completion of PPL exams.
I appreciate that you have 12 months to complete your exams for your PPL which starts from the date you took your first exam. I have 2 weeks in which to complete my communications exam and sit my oral for the RT licence. Do these need to be completed within the 12 months like the other PPL exams eg Air law, nav, Human perform., flight planning, technical etc ?
Can anyone give my an example question for the written comms test (multiple choice?). There isn't anything within the PPL confuser.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Steven

Dont panic only the written RT exam is included with the 12 months limit. The oral exam just has to be completed before youer licence is issued. As for the content of the written exam its multiple choice just like the others if you have read your CAP413 you will be OK.

Study CAP413. The requirements for the RT exams are listed in GID35: Requirements for Flight Radiotelephony Operator's Licence (FRTOL)
Also, an example practical test is in GA Safety Sense leaflet 22 - Radiotelephony
You'll need Adobe's Acrobat Reader for those two
Good luck
