Explore airframe concepts, including monocoque and skin-loaded structures, and review engine basics, fuel and mixture control, carburetor icing and carb heat, ignition and magnetos, and flight instruments.
Master basic navigation concepts from latitude and longitude to VFR chart reading, scale, and track corrections using headings, variation, deviation, and the 160 rule.
Unpack the principles of flight: lift equals weight, the role of angle of attack, drag, and stall, and how flaps, slats, and trim aid control across pitch, roll, and yaw.
Explore how the troposphere shapes weather, including pressure, isobars, coriolis force, seabreeze, fog formation, and front dynamics with warm and cold fronts and air masses.
Explore how physiology, properties of gases, and circulation control breathing, hypoxia risk, and decompression sickness awareness and time of useful consciousness at altitude, plus eye and mind performance in flight.
Welcome to the online Private Pilot Licence Ground School, which helps you consolidate your aviation knowledge and prepares you to succeed in the theoretical examinations required for the issue of a PPL - Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane). The material is conveniently organized into chapters based on subjects and includes revision videos, practice questions and mock exams. The questions in the mock exams are carefully selected and represent the exact same questions you might find in the real PPL theoretical exams. This course promotes better understanding and consolidates the knowledge acquired as well as identifies any areas of weakness prior to attempting the exams themselves. Begin your studies with a classroom or home-study ground school course, which involves reading Private Pilot books and/or using computer based training. Conclude your studies with this Test Preparation course.
