The 'Private Pilot Licence Course' series by Jeremy Pratt.
...in five volumes these are a popular series of ab-inito textbooks that will guide you through both the European Private Pilot Licence and the UK National Private Pilot course.
Fully revised and updated each book offers the minimum necessary of text detail and ultra clear large scale computer generated graphics for easy learning.
Volume 1 (Flying Training) - takes the reader from a point assuming no pre-knowledge of aviation, to the completion of the JAA PPL or NPPL 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.
Fully illustrated with photographs, line drawings and diagrams. Soft. 450 pages.
Volume 2 (Air Law, Operational Procedures & Communications) - designed to make to subject matter as simple and accessible as possible. Each chapter deals with its subject in a logical and practical way, and ends with a series of revision questions to aid the learning process. Illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams and drawings (many in full colour), this is an up-to-date work on air law and RT and fully covers the JAR air law and operational procedures syllabus. With revision questions at the end of each chapter.
Fully illustrated with photographs, line drawings and diagrams. Soft. 321 pages.
Volume 3 (Navigation & Meteorology) - Profusely illustrated throughout with many full colour diagrams, illustrations and photographs, the meteorology section has been written with the assistance of the Met. Office, and includes the latest advances such as interpreting satellite pictures and Internet services. The navigation section includes detailed information on how to plan and conduct a VFR flight, including an illustrated map reading exercise, the latest map symbology and radio navigation theory. With revision questions at the end of each chapter.
Fully illustrated with photographs, line drawings and diagrams. Soft. 400 pages.
Volume 4 (Principles of Flight, Aircraft General Knowledge, Flight Performance and Planning) - The first section deals with basic aerodynamics, possibly one of the least-well understood of all the PPL syllabus subjects. The physical characteristics of the aeroplane are also covered in detail and modern construction materials and designs are explained. This volume also covers aircraft loading and performance, aircraft documentation and maintenance procedures plus general flight safety. With revision questions at the end of each chapter. Includes seperate 'Flight Planning' section.
Fully illustrated with photographs, line drawings and diagrams. Soft. 347 pages.
Volume 5 (Human Factors & Flight Safety) - A fresh approach to this much misunderstood and misquoted subject with the emphasis on a practical yet thorough approach to the subject, with accurate information and abundant illustrations. Human Factors covers the PPL syllabus with an emphasis on up-to-date and relevant material, written for pilots, not doctors. The second section 'Flight Safety', breaks new ground in examining flight safety and airmanship issues from the PPL perspective: Why do pilots stress on into deteriorating weather? What makes a pilot keep flying until it runs out of fuel? Why are low-level aerobatics so dangerous? With revision questions at the end of each chapter. Includes seperate 'Flight Safety' section.
Fully illustrated with photographs, line drawings and diagrams.
Soft. 236 pages.
