PPL Confuser - availability?
 
Can anyone tell me the best place to buy the PPL Confuser - I heard Amazon - but cannot find it there..

What they do have however is "Questions and answers simplifier" - by Jeremy Pratt - is this the same 'sort' of thing ?? - Jeremy Pratt is pretty well respected as a PPL flying type author I believe ?? m- any comments

Also, anyone got the PPL Exam secrets ?? - is this different to the confuser, more up to date ??

Many thanks.

The confuser is a must buy IMO, dont know about the other one.

I dont know if Transair is the cheapest place but it wont be far away.

PPL confuser also from www.flightstore.co.uk

Questions and Answers (Jeremy Pratt) is another option. Personally I have the Confuser and it's doing the job pretty nicely. I only used the Confuser for Human Performance and learnt the course from the explanations. I was very satisfied with the result!

This has been discussed at length before matey and the general consensus is the confuser is a must . I used it for PPL and found it invaluable . If you can answer the questions in the confuser you will ace the exam. It shows you where you are weak and where you need to concentrate your efforts . It is no substitute for knowing your stuff , So use it in conjunction with the thom or pratt books .These are a personal choice have a look at both and see what suits
Good Luck

I know people who used the confuser as their sole study material for many of the PPL exams. Read it often enough and you'll know all the possible questions.

I don't think this is a particularly useful, or sensible, way to study, so make sure you do as above and back it up with the text books as you really need to know the stuff thoroughly for there to be any point in doing it at all.

Ordered - thanks for the inputs.

I have been reading the Trevor Thom books - but would like to refine my efforts, its not as a sole study text.

Jeremy Pratt is well respected and his PPL books are good, however the "Questions and answers simplifier" in my opinion fell short of his usual standard; the mock exams in it had only three possible answers (unlike the four in the real exam) and in general the questions were not hard enough. The PPL Confuser on the other hand is an excellent learning aid.

The PPL Confuser; anyone able to help?
 
Hello there,

I must first start by saying sorry if I'm not allowed to post such a thread here. If this is the case, please just delete it all. I am just wondering if anybody here was able to point me in the right direction as to where I can buy a copy of the latest addition of 'PPL CONFUSER'. I have struggled to find anywhere online that has the book in stock, and as I am coming upto my first exams I really would like to have this to help me along.

If anyone was also willing to sell their copy at all it would be fantastic.

Thank you very much

You may find that it is currently being reprinted since the introduction of ATCSOCAS due the a lot of info needing updating , if you do get hold of one be aware that such things as FIS RIS and RAS are no longer applicable. I would either contact the publisher and ask when the next print is due or await with baited breath

Fitter2 24th September 2009 21:03

The Questions and Answers are designed to match the current CAA question bank. Until that catches up with the changes other bits of the Belgrano tower are implementing, there isn't any future in changing the information.

You need (for other good reasons) to be familiar with ATSOCAS, but that won't help you pass the PPL/NPPL ground exams.

Any pilot shop will have Pooley's Confuser or the Jeremy Pratt series Questions and Answers.

PPL Confuser
 
Hi,

Does anyone know why the Glynn Stephens PPL Confuser is out of print indefinitely. I heard it was due to a legal dispute. Would be interested to know....

What's the stock of confusers like at flights schools would anybody know?

Thanks!

liam548 18th November 2009 18:48

rogerthat777 19th November 2009 10:50

If anyone has a copy or where to get one of the latest edition then PM me.

Not unless that's an anagram for Nung Sornying.

PPL Confuser
 
Hi All,

I was just wondering how much the PPL confuser questions are like the real exam? - I have, of course been reading the book (Air law at the moment) and I am now looking at taking the exam. I have noticed that the confuser is a little out of date my edition mentions FIS etc.


Thanks

Tom :}

I found the confuser questions pretty similar to the exam. I sat each exam once I could answer at least 90% of the confuser questions correctly.
I used airquiz (AirQuiz - Online Practice Examinations for Pilots!), and found it very helpful also.

DBisDogOne 7th February 2010 13:21

I recall it being very close (some years ago now) but is possibly is a little out of date now as hasn't the guy who wrote it died recently?

tomtom_91 7th February 2010 13:28

I heard that he had passed away - and that its not posable to buy the book anymore due to issues with who owns what? - Not sure if thats true though.
