PPL Aircraft (General) & Principles of Flight

New, revised and updated computer based training for the JAA/EASA PPL and the UK NPPL.

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, the aircraft engine and propeller, and aircraft 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 content and self-assessment tests satify the demands of the JAA PPL (A) theoretical knowledge syllabus.
