The written exams of the PPL course are a challenge for any pilot, and the questions are not getting any easier! Questions and Answers for the PPL Course allows the exam candidate to practice and evaluate their knowledge of each exam subject against a series of question papers written to the same style and manner as the actual exams with the same format, time limits and marking system. It is unique in giving answer references back to the popular PPL Course series for further study and revision. This 2011 edition is the only up-to-date publication of its kind, and the only one suitable for the JAR examinations (which are also used for the NPPL course). Many thousands of pilots have passed their written exams with the help of AFE's Questions and Answers books and you could too!

The study of Meteorology is a fundamental part of any pilot training programme. A thorough understanding of weather theory, and the ability to interpret weather-briefing documents, are absolutely essential to all pilots, not just to prepare them to pass their theoretical knowledge examinations, but also to ensure that, throughout their flying careers, they can make informed and accurate decisions about how prevailing or forecast weather conditions will affect flying operations.
Above all, a full understanding of how the weather influences aircraft operations is crucial to Flight Safety.
This book on Meteorology from Oxford Aviation Training will enable pilots to learn all they need to know about the weather, in order to fly safely and expeditiously, either locally or en-route.
