NPPL(M) recommended reading

[Radford5k]

Hi all

I've bought Brian Cosgrove's Microlight handbook and I'm looking at getting 'Air Law for Microlights' from AFE. For the purpose of the NPPL(M) theory exams, is there enough information between those two to pass them, or should I get one or more of the EASA PPL books?

Essentially, I'm just looking into the best way to pass the ground exams without overloading myself with written materials!

Thanks in advance.

Those two should be sufficient. Your school would tell you if they weren't.

You might want to order this, so that you can keep track of progress

I disagree. You will struggle to pass if all you read are those two. I recommend that my students do buy and learn from one of the PPL sets - the AFE ones seem the easiest to use for most people.


And you really shouldn't go into learning the theory with the attitude "I just want to learn enough to pass the exams, then I can forget it." To be a good pilot and to get the maximum enjoyment from your flying, having a good knowledge of the subjects is needed - you will actually use most of it.

Have a look around Microlight Forum and the forums on British Microlight Aircraft Association,Home
you'll find plenty of discussions on training.

You may find the microlight books a little lightweight to get through the Nav...didn't think it prepared me for it at all.

But Cosgroves got me though the rest.

As Heston says...dont treat it as a chore...I read mine every few months cover to cover to keep it all in my mind.
