Navigation &
Radio Aids - PPL
Interactive, multimedia, computer based training on the use of navigation and radio aids for the JAA private pilot knowledge exam.
The private pilot invariably operates as the pilot in command of a single-pilot aircraft. So, in actual fact, he is not only a pilot but a navigator, too. It is essential, therefore, especially during cross-country flights, that the pilot should be able to apply all the correct practices to his navigational task, in a timely manner, without being distracted from flying accurate headings, airspeeds and altitudes. Developing this skill is the very essence of single pilot navigation. The foundation on which this skill resides is meticulous flight planning.
This CD-ROM aims to teach you the theory underlying flight-planning and the art of single-pilot navigation. It prepares you fully for the PPL ground examinations and teaches you the practical skills for navigating cross-country. Also, in order to meet the JAA PPL theoretical knowledge syllabus requirements, it includes basic theory instruction in Radio Navigational Aids.
Includes over 70 JAA/EASA style questions and answers.
