Mastering PPL: Communications

Say it once, say it right.

Mastering PPL: Communications teaches the whole subject from first principles, in plain language, for the aeroplane PPL(A): standard words and numbers, call signs, read-back, phraseology for a VFR flight, weather by radio, radio failure, distress and urgency and VHF propagation.

The book covers the full published PPL(A) theoretical knowledge syllabus for Communications, with boxes wherever UK and European practice differ, and complete invented radio scripts. Each chapter ends with key points and original practice questions with explained answers, and a full mock paper closes the book.

All practice questions were written for this book. The book is not a question bank, does not predict any examination and is not a course of training: follow your flying school's instruction and your aircraft's flight manual.
