I have my PPL FRTO and air law exams on Saturday. Is it just me, or is law really boring?

What books are considered to be the 'bibles' of aviation for beginners considering sitting their PPL?
I know that people mention 'Aviation Medicine and other Human Factors for Pilots' but what are the other must haves for flying?

Those wally wagtendonk books are pretty darn good especially for ppl. Good to have for reference as well.

I concur... I have self studied my way through CPL exams using those pilot books...

and I'm pretty sure the notes I got from the AFS PPL ground course I did back in 2003 were based on them too!

When I learnt in the UK, these books got me through all of my JAR PPL exams. Although there are some differences with the syllabus in NZ, Iâ€™ve used them here as well for the NZ PPL exams â€“ if anything they go into more detail than is required but when was that ever a bad thing? Strictly speaking I wouldnâ€™t bother with law as there are a lot of differences (I read Wallyâ€™s book) but the rest are more than suitable references.

For more info: http://shop.pilotwarehouse.co.uk/product6023.html also available through Amazon.

Soft 354 pages.

Volume 3 (Air Navigation) covers: Air Navigation and includes: Basic Navigation Theory - Speed - Direction Navigation Computer - Vertical Navigation Time - The Earth - AeroNautical Charts Flight Planning - Pre-Flight - Route Selection and Charts - Flight Log - Flight Plan En-Route Navigation - Techniques - Navigation in Remote Areas - Entry/Exit Lanes. Soft. 499 pages.

Soft. 447 pages.

Volume 5 (Radio Navigation & Instrument Flying) covers: Radio Navigation and Instrument Flying and includes: Radio Navigation - Cockpit Flight Instruments - Instrument Flying - IMC Rating - Night Rating.

Volume 7 (Radio Telephony) covers: Radio Telephony and includes: Radiotelephony Language and Procedures - Emergency and Radio Failure - How Radio Works - Example Flights in Controlled and Uncontrolled Airspace - Exercises and Answers. Soft. 212 pages.

Worth mentioning though, is that Iâ€™ve also bought all of Wallyâ€™s CPL books (some of which cover PPL (or vice versa)) which I used for Nav. His books are pretty good, however, sometimes difficult to follow (I found) and itâ€™s also sometimes necessary to read other material to get a clearer picture on a particular point (something I never had to do with the above).

Thanks for your help gentlemen!

1st real exciting lesson today

wing drop stalls. i was building up for a massive dive towards the ocean but after this 1st one i thought it was a bit weak, soon after the demo when it was my turn i managed to somehow whip it around and down ALOT faster and harder which was fun (and gave me a hell of a fright)

heres a video of the demo my instructor did for me.

and please note that we were meant to climb to 3000ft to do it but because of weather we had to do it at around 2,300ft. just for that added excitement

What were you flying Pacblue? That stall noise would make me a bit nervous. Good vid!
