PPL(A) or LAPL(A) questions related to the Pilot's Manual Aeroplane - EASA Compliant

THIS WORKSHOP includes nearly eight hundred multiple-choice questions and prepares for the programme of the theoretical examination of the private pilot aircraft according to European directives.

Its originality consists of:

• To provide a commented answer to each question, with the pedagogical aim of offering the reader an intelligent and constructive review.
• Perform a bypass with figures and keywords from the Aircraft Manual
  
  

The questions are first classified according to the Phases of the Aircraft Manual:

Phase 1: Knowledge of the aircraft

Phase 2: Basic piloting

Phase 3: Aerodromes, radiotelephony and air traffic

Phase 4: Navigation

Phase 5: Meteorology

Phase 6: Advanced piloting

Phase 7: Flight preparation and management

Phase 8: The institutional framework

Phase 9: European licences

Phase 10: Human performance and its limits

The questions are then classified according to the list of nine topics provided for in the official theoretical programme :

Air Law and ATC Procedures

Human Performance

Meteorology

Communications

Principles of Flight: Aircraft

Operational Procedures

Flight planning and flight following

General Aircraft Knowledge

Navigation
