Air Pilot's Manual - Flying Training: Volume 1

Product Information

The five PPL(B) theory exams are to be considered together as a whole. You will see as you read through this article that subjects “cross-over”– for example, you NEED to know some Air Law before attempting the navigation theory paper etc. and I would also very happily argue that some bits in the Air Law syllabus would be much better placed in the Balloon Systems exam syllabus and so on…” b) ‘Document B’ means in the case of a non-EASA aircraft the national certificate of airworthiness in force for the aircraft;

So many changes have taken place in the last ten years, necessitating legislative updates and the consequential implementation into practice throughout the flight training industry, that it has been necessary to produce several new editions. This edition again updates both the Aviation Law and Meteorology sections and takes account of the widespread availability of briefing materials for pilots via the internet. Additionally changes introduced by EASA have been included. The EASA Aircrew Regulation came into force on 8th April 2012 and these requirements have been included in this edition. As before, unique in PPL training manuals, you will find throughout the text comprehensive references to the source documents and relative section numbers. This will enable you to carry out further research should you wish to delve deeper than the PPL syllabus. Make good use of your crew & resources (know your limits, practice, good briefings, delegate, have finesse! be kind) Temporary restricted airspace – definition of, where is the information found and what operational significance is it to Pilots. Both Trevor Thom and Robert Johnson commenced the task in my office at Felden, Hertfordshire. By the end of the following year, all four volumes were completed and were published in February 1987. By the end of that year, we estimated that 95% of all the UK Flying Schools were using our manuals. Volumes 5, 6 and 7 followed, so completing the full series which also now includes the Question & Answer Exam Books Volumes 1-9 and the Air Presentations series of PowerPoint Teaching Aids. c) For practical purposes the ISA can be assumed to have sea level pressure of 1013 hPa at a temperature of 15°C and a lapse rate of 2°C per 1000 feet up to 36 000 feet with a corresponding temperature of -57°C.

Medical certificates (validity, classes of medical, injury and incapacity rules) Remember to use 2009 information! I first met Trevor Thom, a professional pilot and natural teacher, in Melbourne during a visit to Australia in January 1985. He already had his series of PPL Manuals for the Australian market and I asked him to produce a series for the New Zealand market where we had a small aviation business. Having completed this task, Trevor immediately began writing the first of the Air Pilot Manuals for the United Kingdom market and this project began in earnest on 5th December 1985. Paperwork (balloon documentation, types of documents required and where they need to be, special limitations where and what are they)

Pooleys eBooks are now available for Apple iPads and iPhone as well as Android devices. (Not Apple Mac or PC) Note: This handbook is to be used for gyroplane information only. Disregard any Helicopter information presented. For current Helicopter information refer to FAA-S-8083-21A, Helicopter Flying Handbook. Questions tend to focus on safety preparing you for flying on your own and sometimes give minimum and maximum operational limits (so you need to know all your balloon manufacturer’s balloon operation advisory limits in case you have some of those questions in your exam, manufacturer’s limits will be within the answers parameters somewhere and if you know them, it will be easy to find them!) Parachute Operation (BBAC recommendation of how long & how far, types of deflation system and how to operate, when you can make it stall and how recify).IMPORTANT NOTE – Before taking this exam you should have revised and understood all your PPL(B) Air Law - as this exam refers to parts of Air Law too ! (Actually, it is very useful to know all your Balloon Systems prior to taking your examinations too…) It is worth learning the legends on the ICAO 1:500,000 map and Ordnance Survey (OS) 1:50,000 (pink cover) maps https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/docs/legends/50k-raster-legend.pdf I first met Trevor Thom, a professional pilot and natural teacher, in Melbourne during a visit to Australia in January 1985.
