COURSE DESCRIPTION

When you sign up for the course, you elect to study from the following choices.

• AEROPLANE or HELICOPTER
• AUSTRALIA or NEW ZEALAND or USA or MALAYSIA (EUROPE and CANADA to follow) or GENERIC SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE or GENERIC NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
• PRIVATE or COMMERICAL or AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT standard.

The COMMERCIAL course includes the content of the PRIVATE course. The AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT course is a stand-alone course, and does not include the content of the PRIVATE and COMMERCIAL courses.

By selecting your region, you will receive the correct information on meteorology, compass errors, etc, for the appropriate hemisphere.

At the present time, the only regulatory authorities I have covered in relation to AIR LAW are the Australian CASA, the American FAA, and the Malaysian DCA, but rules will follow shortly for the New Zealand CASA, and then the European JARs and Canada.

The course is divided into the following subjects :-

• PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT (Helicopter or Aeroplane)
• AIRCRAFT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (Helicopter or Aeroplane)
• PISTON ENGINES (Helicopter or Aeroplane) (Part of AIRCRAFT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE in some regions, including Australia)
• TURBINE ENGINES (Part of AIRCRAFT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE in some regions, but not Australia)
• METEOROLOGY (With local content for Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia or the USA, as applicable)
• AIR LAW (Australia, Malaysia or USA, as applicable)
• NAVIGATION
• PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS (Helicopter or Aeroplane)
• HUMAN FACTORS

Each subject is broken up into topics, and at the end of each topic there is a randomly generated, 20 question revision test on that topic, and at the end of each subject there is a randomly generated 50 question revision test on the entire subject.

If you select the wrong answer from the choices given, you will be taken back to the relevant section of text, where you can re-read the subject matter before having another attempt at answering that question. You cannot progress to the next question until you answer the previous one correctly.

If it is more than a simple question, when you answer it correctly you will see an explanation of why that was the correct answer (just in case it was a lucky guess).

There are also 50 question exams on each subject, in a similar format to the Australian CASA examinations. These are timed (as in the real examination), but do not take you back to the text, or give an explanation of why that answer was correct.

These questions are taken from a bank of over 11,000 questions, including many CASA and JAR questions, and all the American FAA questions, and, unlike many other courses, you can repeat the questions as often as you like with no additional charges, and being randomly generated, you will not get the same exam twice. With this many questions, it is unlikely you would get a question in the exam without having seen a similar question during your revision sessions.

The system is designed to make sure you get a good understanding of the subject matter, not just pass the examination.

The American FAA publish all their questions, so if you are studying for the FAA exam, you will see the actual FAA questions and answers.

The Australian CASA, the New Zealand CAA and the European JAR do not publish their questions, but the questions in this course and the associated choice of answers, are very representative of the questions they ask.
