Many JAR ATPL students prepare for their examinations by memorising large numbers of questions and answers. This can be very successful when examinations require the recall of facts. But it is less successful in mathematically based subjects such as General Navigation, particularly when students face new questions. Success in these examinations can be assured only by becoming fully familiar with the mathematical processes required. This is best achieved by practicing using the largest possible number of questions.
This program provides an unlimited number of practice questions and answers, together with detailed explanations of how to solve each type of question.
PPL Perfector is intended both to enable students to pass their JAR PPL Examinations in the shortest possible time, and to develop a thorough understanding of the subject material.

RANT XL Release 3 is the latest, fully Vista compatible version of the Radio Aids Navigation Tutor and provides all the ground training a trainee pilot, who has never seen a VOR or NDB, needs to progress to being able to navigate the most complicated radio-aids navigation task - whether en-route or in the terminal area. Here is a completely re-engineered package which contains the tutorials and exercises that have made RANT so popular as a training tool but which has many new features and has been brought right up-to-date with photo-realistic instruments, including the Bendix/King Silver Crown range, and actual en-route, approach and departure charts, in association with Navtech/EAG Aerad. A full suite of context-sensitive help pages completes the product. RANT XL runs on computers using Windows ME, XP or Vista, with 64 Mbyte RAM, 16-bit colour and screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels or more. For enhanced visuals 1 GByte of RAM and minimum 1024x768 pixels resolution are required.

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.
Oxford Aviation PPL 1 - Airlaw and Operational Procedures Cd-Rom
Like any community, the world of aviation is governed by laws and regulations. And, as in any field of human activity, if you are to become an effective, safe and responsible member of the aviation community, you must know you Air Law and abide by its precepts.
Because aviation is an activity that is global in scope, Air Law applies internationally as well as nationally. Organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), lay down regulations and procedures which, to a very great extent, are enshrined in the national legislation of ICAO's member countries, including the United Kingdom, and in the rules of other multi-national authorities such as the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA).
Oxford Aviation PPL 3 - Navigation and Radio Aids Cd-Rom
The private pilot invariably operates as the pilot in command of a single-pilot aircraft. So, in actual fact, he is not only a pilot but a navigator, too. It is essential, therefore, especially during cross-country flights, that the pilot should be able to apply all the correct practices to his navigational task, in a timely manner, without being distracted from flying accurate headings, airspeeds and altitudes. Developing this skill is the very essence of single pilot navigation. The foundation on which this skill resides is meticulous flight planning.
It is the aim of this interactive, multimedia computer-based training (CBT) course to teach you every element of the theory underlying flight planning and the art of single-pilot navigation (and to prepare you for the PPL ground examinations) more quickly, effectively and enjoyably than ever before.
In order specifically to meet the JAR-FCL PPL theoretical knowledge requirements, this CBT also includes basic theory instruction in Radio-Navigation Aids.
The study of Aviation Meteorology is a fundamental part of any pilot training. A thorough understanding of weather theory and the ability to interpret weather briefing documents are absolutely essential to all private pilots 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 interactive, multimedia computer-based training (CBT) course in Aviation Meteorology will enable private pilots to learn more effectively and enjoyably than ever before, all they need to know about the weather, in order to fly safely and expeditiously, and to pass their JAA PPL or UK NPPL theoretical knowledge examinations.
Oxford Aviation PPL 5 - Aircraft General and Principles of Flight Cd-Rom
Aircraft (General)teaches you all you need to know about the systems of a modern light aircraft, so that you can fly your aircraft efficiently and safely, while exercising proper care of the aeroplane itself. Systems covered include the electric, electronic, mechanical and hydraulic systems, its engine and its instruments.
For those who fly, a thorough knowledge of the Principles of Flight is also essential if they are to fully appreciate the flight characteristics of their aircraft and become safe and proficient pilots. This interactive, graphically-rich computer-based training (CBT) course provides pilots, whether student or qualified, with an effective and enjoyable method of studying, and testing themselves in, the scientific principles upon which flight depends.
The course is a deep and comprehensive study of the science and mechanics of flight. It is aimed specifically at meeting the needs of the light aircraft pilot. The course content and self-assessment tests satify the demands of the JAA PPL (A) theoretical knowledge syllabus.
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

Oxford Aviation Navigation Flight Computer Training Cd-Rom
The classic dead-reckoning navigation computer has been used by pilots world-wide, since before the Second World War, to solve navigational and flight planning calculations quickly and easily.
By mastering the classic navigation computer, pilots discover how to solve navigational problems from first principles, and learn how to visualise the fundamentals which underpin the whole art of navigation.
This interactive, multimedia Radiotelephony (RT) tutor, created by Oxford Aviation Training, is designed to give you tuition in the RT skills you need when flying in accordance with the Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The tutor will also help you prepare for the JAR-FCL VFR Communications examination and for the RT Operator's Licence test. The CR-ROM is ideal for both the beginner and for the qualified pilot who wishes to refresh existing skills.
