"Putting the fun and skill into flying" is the subtitle of this excellent new title, an absolute must for all aspiring and qualified PPLs because now, at last, there is a book for every pilot who has obtained their Private Pilot's Licence and then thought "What now?" Written in a friendly and accessible style by an established aviation author and experienced pilot, this book fulfils the need for a book to take pilots beyond their basic training. It describes in detail many of the challenges awaiting a new pilot - touring flight, radio navigation, flight over water, farm strips, dealing with ATC etc

This book also looks at how to stay current and how to maintain and improve your flying skills and deals honestly with the pleasures and pitfalls of flying for fun, including aircraft ownership, groups and aircraft hire, sharing flights with other pilots and so on. In fact, everything they didn't teach you at your flying school! There has never been a more accessible or more complete book for a PPL and it is set to become the PPL's 'bible'.

An exciting 1 hour film that demonstrates basic club aerobatics in a Cessna 150 Aerobat. As well as the pilots eye view of the manoeuvres, there's plenty of classroom and diagrams to point out the common errors. The ideal film to use in conjunction with your aerobatic instructor.

Oxford Aviation Training and the Met Office have developed a self-teach, media-rich, interactive Computer Based Training (CBT) course of theoretical and practical Meteorology aimed at both student and qualified pilots. Instruction is up to JAA ATPL level, but as the course is designed for beginners it is suitable for CPL and PPL pilots, too.

The main aim of this Computer Based Training is to give pilot-oriented training in Aviation Met theory and to teach pilots to use this theory to interpret met forecasts and reports in order to plan safe and expeditious flying sorties. The secondary aim of the CBT is to teach pilots how to extract and interpret met information from the Met Office's web site.

If you are to get the most out of your flying lessons, from the point of view of instruction and value-for-money, you must be as mentally prepared as possible for each airborne training sortie. In order to achieve that aim, Oxford Aviation Training have created these interactive, graphically-rich, practical flying training briefings, especially for the student private pilot. The briefings, modelled on the long classroom briefings traditionally used in service flying training, provide a comprehensive treatment of the theory behind all the general handling flying lessons.

This CD-ROM, therefore, constitutes an invaluable training aid for the student PPL, the PPL flying instructor and for all those who simply wish to gain a deeper understanding of flying. By following the briefings on this CD-ROM, you benefit from Oxford's unrivaled flying training expertise, now delivered using the latest multi-media instructional techniques which make even the most awkward concept easy to grasp . There are 14 briefings, in all, packed with illustrations depicting countless scenarios typical of the PPL flying training programme.

The first book in the PPL course series, the first all-new series of training books for over a decade, follows the JAA PPL flying training syllabus and takes a fresh and modern approach to learning to fly. It dismantles some long established myths and encompasses many issues concerning today's pilots (wake turbulence, ATC procedures, transponders and radar, radio navigation, noise abatement etc.) as well as those timeless airmanship issues that have always been vital to safe flying (lookout, carburettor icing, organising cockpit workload etc.)

The book takes the reader from a point assuming no pre-knowledge of aviation, to the completion of the JAA PPL flying syllabus. It is presented in a straightforward manner, with no irrelevant theoretical material. Illustrated throughout with diagrams, line drawings and photographs, including a step-by-step 'patter' of each flight exercise with internal and external views of the flight exercise to match. PPL1 is also the only training book currently available which covers the full UK JAA PPL syllabus, including in particular Radio Navigation.

With each Video Lesson following the practical flying exercises exactly as per the JAR Syllabus, this Complete JAR PPL Flying Course 2 DVD set filmed in superb quality from inside the cockpit helps you to obtain the JAR PPL. For the cost of one lesson, you can review and study every lesson in the course over and over again saving you time and therefore money when in the air.
It bridges the gap of an up-to-date and high quality training aid sadly lacking in this market for some time and comes highly recommended.
Using this Inside the cockpit procedure it allows the DVD to focus on the “follow me through technique ” Your instructor for this DVD, a Boeing 767 pilot & CAA Examiner shows you how to fly correctly by demonstrating each manoeuvre and explaining the effects on the aircraft your action is having. It incorporates the safety factors you must be aware of as well as demonstrating a good standard of airmanship throughout.
There are 2 DVD's in this package covering 46 separate interactive Lessons from Flying Straight & Level to executing a safe Crosswind Landing.

Included on the DVD are numerous pages of Information & Checklists.
Using 7 camera positions inside and outside the aircraft, high definition cameras have been used for crystal clear pictures. ( HD television or DVD player is not required)
This an invaluable study aid for new pilots and for qualified pilots provides an important reference source of the proper flying skills for continuous Pilot improvement.
