Ppl Questions Bank
 

Hi there,

I am wanting to start with my PPL subjects and so have been looking around online for any question banks. Could anyone suggest some, please, as I may have missed it while searching. Preferably not FAA.

Much appreciated
Cheers

AirQuiz - Online Practice Examinations for Pilots!

Definetly get yourself a copy of the ppl confuser. I personally have never used the airquiz website but others have.

:p

...and definately get yourself a dictionary and look up the words "Professional" and "Private".

FFS!

Definitely
 

Definitely :ok:

Definitely defined as the definitive definition.
Apart from that, the PPL confuser is all I used. An up to date version should have all the current questions.

Don't think the confuser has caught up with the flight information services changes.

Possibly not, and neither will the question papers. Point is, what do the Schools teach, especially RT practical?

The RT practical and written papers are current with the new ATSOCAS.

In standard CAA fashion, the RT written papers are full of errors - but they are current errors.

What do I need to know about the "new" flight information services stuff? Any links or brief explanation would be appreciated, 'cause it ain't in my book!

There's a tutorial thing online at
Air Space Safety: ATSOCAS 917
that explains it, or your flying club may have it on CD somewhere, I think the CAA sent a load of them out when the changes were introduced.

Great stuff. Thanks. Do you know which bit is tested in the exams?

Excellent question, Greg.

Make fully sure that you don't put any extra seconds into learning this stuff than the minimum you need to scrape a pass.

I'm sure you have better things to do with your time than actually reading and understanding.

And it's exactly that sneering tone of Keygrip's reply that means I spend little time browsing PPRuNe these days... :rolleyes:

Keygrip, if you bumped into Greg in person rather than from behind your keyboard, and he asked you the same question, would you give him the same reply or might you be slightly more reasonable? Did you bash the keys really hard while replying? :D

Almost everyone in the world who has ever taken an exam has wanted to know which elements of a subject are most likely to come up so that they can allocate their study time accordingly.

Greg, it's unlikely your PPL exams will reflect the ATSOCAS changes this soon but you do need to go through the CD and make yourself fully aware of the ATC services available, particularly with regard to VFR flights. If you are like me, they will probably only fully sink in once you have used the services and that will probably be with your instructor beside you :cool:

Your darn right I would, DB - I'm tired of seeing endless student after student desperately searching for ways to reduce the effort needed to achieve the minimum.

The only considerations nowadays are quickest/cheapest/easiest.

Even when the USA did offer a good value price it was still "I can't be bothered with the paperwork".

Greg, I say again - the new ATSOCAS are in the papers and the practical test.

Oops! My mistake - I mis-read that bit, sorry :uhoh:

But Greg's act in merely asking to be pointed in the right direction as to exam-specific study material does not necessarily make him a bone-idle layabout looking to achieve the bare minimum required, but potentially someone who is looking to cut through the crap with which the CAA et al seem to wrap all their important information and find the bits he really needs to know. That seems quite sensible, doesn't it?

In a lot of cases, DB, I would agree with you - but in communications and ATC services I know of NOTHING that can be left out of the studying if you want to be any good at it.

Keygrip :

Leaving aside the krap speeling, am I alone in not understanding what you actually mean by this ?

Keygrip quote

"In standard CAA fashion, the RT written papers are full of errors - but they are current errors."

If the papers are so full of errors have you taken the trouble to inform the CAA to enable them to consider your comments?

Ladies please,

DBChopper is of course completely right. I have read the Oxford Air Law book cover to cover, Pratt's text book and answered hundreds of questions on air law. I just wanted to make sure that I have everything covered.

On this occasion Keygrip is very badly mistaken but none of us are perfect are we?

ATSOCAS
 

I just took the exams recently :eek: the ATSOCAS changes are reflected - you need to know what information to include in your request for service - you also need to know the difference between Basic and Procedural service and the Safetycom limitations for height and distance.
Best of luck.:ok:
