If you plan on going into commercial aviation then try and negotiate with them to swap the CRP 1 for a CRP 5 flight computer which will save you binning the former when you move onto the ATPL's.

Matthew,
I was originally tempted by an all-in-one PPL package, but decided to buy various bits as I go along.
This way you can mix and match books, buy the CRP-5 rather than CRP-1, maybe buy a professional logbook, go for a bag that you like, choose exactly what protractor/rulers/pens you want etc.
As has been pointed out there is always loads of PPL stuff on ebay, which is where I got my Jeremy Pratt (AFE) PPL books from, you may even end up saving in the long run choosing to put it all together yourself. I have also looked at the Thom books and they look very good too and possibly better as a foundation for the ATPLs than the Pratt books.
Anyway here is a great thread from last year started by scameron77, at the time he was putting together his kit, it covers everything from CRP-5s to sunglasses.

PS airquiz.com is worth signing up to for testing yourself and getting feedback on how you are doing.

How Much
Hi Chaps,
I would like to find out how much of the stuff in the Manuals is actually needed to take the PPL exams.
Can anyone give me a general idea?
I.E. Will I find myself needing to know that an A/C with an AUW of 9,000KG or less needs, and requiring a t/o distance of over 610m requires a Noise Certificate?
Or about captive balloons not being allowed to fly above 60 metres.
I have found myself spending a huge amount of time making tonnes of notes and would really like to know if theres any corners to be cut.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
