This book on Air Law and Operational Procedures is suitable for student pilots training for the JAR-FCL/EASA Pilot’s Licence to PPL level and beyond, and also for students working towards the UK NPPL.

Pilots who hold a JAR-FCL/EASA Pilot’s Licence are entitled to fly in the sovereign airspace of many nations, notably in the airspace which falls under regulations laid down by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). So, in order to operate effectively and safely wherever they fly, pilots must be familiar with both national and international Air Law.
For the convenience of the student, this book presents International (ICAO) Air Law and United Kingdom Air Law in separate sections.

One of the principal aims of this book is that it should assist you in preparing for success in the PPL theoretical knowledge examination in ‘Human Performance and Limitations’, whether you are learning to fly aeroplanes or helicopters. A further main aim of the book is to promote the cause of flight safety by enabling student pilots to learn the essentials about the interaction between the human being, the aircraft and the flying environment. Working through this volume will help you understand the human body’s limitations when operating in an aviation environment, and make it less likely that you will ever become the “human factor” in any aircraft accident.

For the student working towards a Private Pilot's Licence, three important test hurdles have to be cleared. They are the two flying skills tests- General Handling and Navigation - and the theoretical knowledge examinations, often referred to as the "ground exams." Passing the ground examinations requires two types of preparation.
You must, of course, learn thoroughly all the subject matter in the different theoretical knowledge disciplines, but then, before you sit the actual examinations, you must also familiarise yourself with the level of difficulty and style of the PPL examination questions themselves. This PPL Examination Preparation CD-ROM from Oxford Aviation Training - one of the world's leading pilot training schools - enables you to do just that.

In addition to all the questions from the complete set of the renowned OAT/Transair PPL Ground Training CD-ROMs, over 540 new questions have been added to this Exam Preparation CD-ROM, making over 1550 questions in all. Using the CD-ROM, you can test yourself on individual examination subjects, or attempt a complete PPL-style examination paper. The CD-ROM will mark your work, give you your result and indicate the questions that you have answered wrongly, inviting you to select the correct answer
