AFE-JAR

Since the first publication in 1994, the PPL course series has become the standard reference for Irish and UK PPL courses. Their accuracy, clarity and user-friendly approach is acclaimed and their fresh and modern approach to the subject matter makes them a favourite amongst student pilots and instructors alike. The PPL Course Series continues to be the most up-to-date series available and is the only set of publications that completely and accurately covers the JAA PPL course syllabus. Further, AFE follow a publishing policy of restricting the print run of each edition to the minimum commercially viable, meaning that amendments and updates can be incorporated into reprints as quickly as possible, rather than waiting years to publish new information. More and more pilots are learning to fly using the PPL Course series and more-and-more schools and clubs are making the PPL Course their standard PPL course reference.

With abundant illustrations (line-drawings, pictures and photographs) and absolutely up-to-date information, this book is has become the new standard reference for this subject.
