Great instructional source on my PPL trainingPosted on Google Peter Dalmaris9 October 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This book is a treasure trove of advise and wisdom for anyone preparing for a flight test. As a student pilot, this book is helping me to demystify and prepare for these tests. It is also a fun read. I wish all aviation text books were written like this. Jim Davis's writing style is truly engaging.Posted on Google Darryl Thompson4 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I acquired a copy of Jim's book: PPL: A Practical Book About Flying for my daughter who is busy with her PPL, with aspirations of progressing to CPL and oddly enough moving on to instructing. Felt the book would be handy in her training and likely handy should she go on and train others. I was not disappointed, I have landed up reading a lot of the material myself. I find Jim's approach in presenting the material and ultimately transferring knowledge or building to and explaining concepts is excellent. You can see this book is based on understanding gained from many years of instructing various students and ultimately a passion for teaching. Also enjoy the occasional humour or the simple attitude of calling a spade a spade at times. As for the physical aspects of the book, brilliant quality inside and out.Posted on Google Jane McGonigal1 June 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Flight Tests is the most simplest pilot book that I have read so far. The use of checklists and repeating them over and over again really gets it cemented in your head. I will be sure to take this book on my journey to becoming a pilot.Posted on Google Markus Israng13 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is such a valuable book to prepare for a flight test or actually flying in general. But not only for flying but for a preparation of any exam. Having been a trainer and assessor in various fields of railways, the principles of this book can be applied in many professions where safety and rules apply. Thank you so much for creating this book and I look forward to implementing those preparations in my daily routine.Load more
Pilots Love Jim’s PPL Book
It’s the only pilot training book in Australia to include flying training exercises. In fact, it is popular among students and instructors alike.
Suitable for pilots studying for their RPL, PPL and RAAus, the book includes a diagram on almost every page and leaves the jargon out.
