Sitting your tests all at once.

[6 August 2008] [1,180 views] [No Comment]

One thing that interested me when talking to a group of GA pilots is how they went about their initial training. The hard yards to getting their Private Pilots Licence (PPL) isn’t always in the sky but in the class room.

There were a few pilots like myself who did their theory course in what then was 2 weeks in the school holidays then left it months before sitting any of the exams. For me it was the right thing to do because things I lean need to process a few weeks before I really understand them.

For others though that giant leap on the Saturday after the course to hit off all the exams in one day.

Most of my PPL class are now all at CPL level or higher. Two are flying for an over seas airline and the others well we never stayed in touch.

They all have the relative idea that you should pass all your exams before moving on to the practical side of things.

Good luck.
