Synopsis

This book represents all questions that appear in the current set of JAR PPL examination papers together with the appropriate multi choice answers. Answers are explained and illustrated to fully enlighten the candidate as to why a particular answer is the correct choice. The editor of Pilot Magazine said: "In places, these explanatory chapters almost become text books in themselves, with detailed expositions, diagrams and calculations." Highly informative but also very concise and easy to read and digest, it is an excellent book to consolidate knowledge and understand what the CAA examiner is asking.
