Exam Confusion!
I've just been readin through the JAR-FCL 1 document, trying to find some info on the exams. Firstly i was surprised that they listed 9 subjects:
Airlaw & ATC Procedure Aicraft General Knowledge Flight Performing & Planning Human Performance & Limitations Meterology Navigation Operational Procedures Principles of Flight Communicaitons I was always under the impression that there were 7 exams, so am i correct in assuming that Operational procedures is incorporated in the AirLaw exam, and Principles of Flight is part of the Aircraft General exam? Also, i'd assumed you get 3 attempts at each and thats it.....yet there is no mention of this in the document....again if anyone knows the score that'll be great Cheers |
May be obvious to others, but which licence are you talking about? There's 6 writtens and an RT oral for the PPL and 14 writtens for the ATPL as far as I'm aware.
|
Yep...sorry about that.
I'm currently studying for my PPL, so it's those exams i'm interested in. Just want clarification on how many and how many chances you get. Cheers |
Might be different for helicopters but there is a written exam for the RT as well plus a written exam for the type of aircraft on which you are to be rated.
Flight planning and ops was put together. Cheers Whirls |
You get 3 attempts then you go to Gatwick to sit the 4th in UK. This is kept on your record. Not a good start to your PPL so study and do the exam when you are ready. My own woodwork teacher always said, measure twice, cut once.

there are 7 papers & 1 rt oral for the ppl
1. meterology 2. navigation 3. air law 4. flight planning & performance 5. human factors 6. R/T written* 7. Aircraft general R/T oral* *Not required for grant of ppl but obviously nearly everyone takes it |
because u can't fly wothout RT License even if you own PPL...
|
Yes, you can! You could have a passenger with you who has an RT licence and that passenger does all the talking!
Or, if you had your own strip in Glass G airspace, I don't think there is any requirement to talk to ATC. Cheers Whirls |

Have a cup on the coaming, label it 'Willy Cup'. Point to it and say 'And this is where to put your willy if the prop chops it off.'
Simple! (And they'll never go near a spinning prop either!) |
