Book Description
Have that urge to want to fly? Want to attain your Private Pilot's Licence? This book might well help!At 17 years old, I was able to gain my Private Pilots Licence and subsequently achieve my childhood dream of becoming a pilot. Ever since I was two years old I have had a huge passion for transport, in general. At an early age, this, was mostly buses and trains. I would go to Ipswich train station, with my grandad, for the day, and be content for hours, scribbling down the numbers of each train. But as I got older I discovered the world of flight. I was hooked!This book came into being because of my huge love of aviation. There wasn't too much written by people my age, so I thought that I could write a book to try and inspire people to follow their dreams, as well as to provide advice from my experiences. The book starts off with my reasoning for why I love the world of flight. The second half then follows my journey from an aspiring aviator to a qualified pilot.I hope that you enjoy the book!

Book Description
Polly Vacher wanted to become the first pilot to complete a solo flight around the world via both Poles in a single-engine aircraft. Her 60,000 mile voyage would take her to every continent. She prepared meticulously for two years and had garnered multifarious sponsors. However, as she took off, flanked by a Hurricane and a Spitfire, and waved off by her family and the Prince of Wales, she suddenly felt so alone. She had begun a remarkable expedition that would gain her three world records, but would also see her encounter extremes of weather and emotion, kindness, obstruction and also a little political intrigue.

If you're eager to get certified and fly to find out what it's like to see the world from thousands of feet in the air, you need to know the valuable information we have reserved for you. If flying is your dream, the PPL is your first step. But what opportunities do you get by acquiring this license? What sets PPL apart from inferior aviator certifications is that it grants you many more privileges: - You could make money with PPL by being a flight instructor or flight examiner. - A good side effect would also be the accumulation of flight hours that would allow you to pursue a commercial pilot course. - The FAA also allows private pilots to make money as an aircraft salesman or by towing gliders. - But that's not all: you can taste freedom and learn aerobatics: during PPL training, you perform maneuvers that require skill, such as steep turns and chandelles. So, you're about to take the checkride exam and want to know what you're up against? The Private Pilot's License is the first license every pilot must obtain. In my opinion, it is one of the most rewarding because of the excitement of learning things you've probably never done before! This manual is designed to prepare you to pass the FAA knowledge tests. The method uses our sophisticated knowledge transfer systems to ensure you master all the information you need to be a competent and safe pilot and pass the knowledge test with confidence, learn faster, and retain more information. You can use this course to study at your own pace. Here's a brief look at the content: - You'll see all the steps involved in obtaining your license. - You'll study legends, icons, and diagrams to get you in the thick of the action. - Know and understand the most important terms used in aviation (numbers, acronyms, abbreviations). - We'll look at the regulations required for GA aircraft and the primary references to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). - An extensive section with more than 30 quizzes and 130 questions and answers, where you will receive the answers and "THE WAY" of those answers. Detailed explanations will help you remember the concepts and overcoming exam stress. - You'll get a comprehensive overview of the best online and land-based schools, so you won't have to search for more information. - You'll get practical tips on how to choose your instructor. Ultimately, if the life of a pilot is a dream of yours, this is the first step. Becoming a pilot starts here, and it will be a massive milestone in your education. So, don't wait a moment longer, and get your copy now! From takeoff practice to landing, stalls, steep turns, emergency procedures, and of course... this is a journey I'm sure you'll NEVER forget!
