This book presents mathematics and physics in a build-up approach from basic concepts used in everyday life to the use of mathematics and physics for the solution of aviation-related concepts and problems. The JAR Flight Crew Licensing requirements state that before being admitted to a modular theoretical knowledge course and applicant shall have a sufficient knowledge of mathematics and physics to facilitate an understanding of the content of the course. Written to inspire confidence and capability for pilot training courses from Private to Airline Transport Pilot the appendices are structured according to the JAR-FCL syllabus for the ATPL. Each appendix explores the maths and physics associated with the JAR-FCL subjects studied at ATPL level offering a collection of the types of problems and their solution in a concise style. Reference to the appendices may be made as you encounter these subjects at any licence level. Any difficulty in solving these problems may be resolved by cross-referencing to the earlier parts of the book which deal with the basic mathematics and physics in a build-up approach.

From the start of the JAA-ATPL examinations, Oxford Aviation Training has entered over 1,400 students for more than 20,000 individual examination papers. Their unrivalled experience is brought to you in this compilation of over 2,000 JAA-ATPL style questions. You can test yourself by individual subject, or sub section of the syllabus, or attempt a JAA style examination paper. All the questions are are as close as possible to the JAA-ATPL question bank, and with over 2,000 questions to choose from repeated use will give the best possible preparation for the official JAA examinations.

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

It is vital to have a good understanding of and be able to confidently use basic mathematics in aviation. Pilots Basics is a helpful summary of most of the known Rules of Thumb and simple forumlae commonly used in aviation - basic aviation knowledge - which will enable us to perform fast, simple and accurate mental calculations.
This book assists in developing and maintaining "Situational Awareness", the knowledge about our situation and position, which allow us to plan ahead easily and quickly "ahead of the aircraft", which in turn enables us to perofrm our duties efficiently and safely. These rules and formulae result in close approximations of the normally required but more complex calculations. The results however are often mathematically absolutely equal. Therefore they shoudl never be a substitute for mandated calculations.
