ppl exams
 
Hi all
Advance apologies if this question is in the wrong forum.
Does anybody know if your results from the theory exams for PPL are shown on your licence at all.
Passed Air Law 2 weeks ago now doing human factors.
It seems there is no certificate to show that you have actually done the exams!!
Any views on this?
Many Thanks

The results are not shown on your licence - so you just need to pass them :D

The application for that you will eventually submit to get your licence will have a space for the examiner to write your exam results.

Results
 
You can always ask to see your training record-they should be shown on there,don't know if the actual mark is shown though.
Training records need to be kept up to date in case you move to another school ( like I did) part way through your training.

Good luck

When I did mine the CFI marked the test and signed his name in my training record as the examiner along with my pass mark.

ppl exams
 
Thanks guys
Im so glad ive got Air Law out of the way I found Air Quiz a great help.
Hopefully will be doing first solo in a few weeks cant wait!

WALSue 5th March 2009 12:23

Good luck with the solo - its a great milestone to reach!

I found there was an incentive to pass the Air Law, ie, the solo but now I need a right kick up the backside to get the other exams out the way.
Keep plugging away at those books!

Thats great news!!it was the same for me naturally the Air Law is a biggie!! I passed with 87.5%! I was really surprised just hope i still remember all the Airspace rules!! later on down the line i thought that was quite heavy going. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on that particular area.
Passed human performance yesterday, im looking towards principles of flight now bedtime reading!!

Rugbyears 6th March 2009 15:07

Get Nav and Met done so that you are ready for all of your XC flying:ok:

NB...WELL DONE ON YOUR PASSES!!!

aerofoil1 6th March 2009 16:33

thanks!
only flown 7 hours at moment so im a few more away from solo just yet looking forwiard to it all just wished it wasnt so dam expensive!!

liam548 20th March 2009 18:24

i agree with the above!

I passed air law in sept 08, also completed RT written 100%, Met 92% I think and Nav today 80%.

Going to do flight planning and performance next then aircraft technical then human performance and complete the RT practical at the end.

Im on 30 hours...

thats brilliant your well on your way towards the coverted PPl!!freedom of the skies.
where do you fly from.
my airfield charges 30per exam does this sound the average cost?

RTN11 22nd March 2009 22:53

£30 per exam seems pretty standard.

Remember you only get 3 attempts at each, so study hard before you go for that first sitting.

aerofoil1 24th March 2009 14:39

indeed its going quite good at the moment id like to clock up a few more hours as im looking at the met book now its an interesting read and a lot more complicated than i thought!!

WALSue 24th March 2009 14:59

After Air Law, anything seems interesting!
Take a look at YouTube too, there are some decent Ground School videos on there. Just makes a change from constantly reading

BEagle 24th March 2009 15:16

Your Examiner should enter your exam results on your PPL application form after marking your paper and debriefing you. Insist that he/she does!

I've never charged anyone learning to fly at the Club anything for an exam - at least, not for the first attempt. But I reserve the right to charge for any re-takes as the financial impact of this concept tends to concentrate the mind......

I fly from Sherburn and they charge £12 per exam If I recall correctly, but there is obviously a memberhsip fee to take into account.


WALsue I didnt realise there were such videos on youtube can you suggest any really useful ones and what their titles are?

aerofoil1 24th March 2009 18:24

i agree with WALSUE Air Law gave me such a headache glad its out of the way
I thought Rules of the Air was quite interesting.
my Airfield does charge £70.00 for membership too, but frankly i dont see what you get for it only £6.00 off the hourly aircraft hire rate!!!
no news letter of any sort or invitation to the odd barndance either!!!
but its a very friendly atmosphere.
really looking forward to my solo, my instructor allowed me to descend to around 80 feet before he took over and landed a great experience another 30secs or so and the wheels would have been on tera firma!!
:ok::ok::ok:

Mike Parsons 24th March 2009 19:07

Where I train exams are £45 each. Membership is £65 p.a.

manchester airport
 
does any one know why manchester airport has changed its runway bearings from 24 to 23 and the reciprocal runway?
has anyone visited the airport pub at manchester what a great day out last week end the weather was fab, shame the wind was blowing from the west as the aircraft were taking off from 05left so the aircraft were on the otherside of the runway

It's a shame i really liked sherburn but in the timeframe that i wanted to complete my ppl they said it couldn't be done due to instructor availability and weather :sad:
