Top Tasks

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!)

a) It enables comparison between aircraft heights over a wide range of meteorological situations the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted an International Standard Atmosphere (ISA); it is a model atmosphere for which the average variation of temperature with height is specified. From this the corresponding variations of pressure and density can be deduced. Both Trevor Thom and Robert Johnson commenced the task in my office at Felden. By the end of the following year, all four volumes were complete 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. Pilots Under Training (PUT’s) should have athoroughworking knowledge ofallof these topics from all the recommended reading sources. For over 35 years the Air Pilot Manuals have led the academic training of pilots in the United Kingdom and in many countries around the world.

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.

b) ‘Document B’ means in the case of a non-EASA aircraft the national certificate of airworthiness in force for the aircraft; https://www.westernpower.co.uk/docs/social-responsibility/Health-Safety/Public-Safety/Previous-Safety-Advice/WPD-Clearance-Guide-(1).aspx Temporary restricted airspace – definition of, where is the information found and what operational significance is it to Pilots. Make your flight school training a lot easier - begin studying your air pilots training manuals and other training guides before you start your course. Then, when you start your flying training you can concentrate on the joy of flying instead of having to 'catch-up' your studying.Start point (identify your launch point when given a grid reference, identity spot heights and distance between grids)
