Commercial Resources

Bob Tait has applied some fairly obvious common sense principles to the production of these books.

Rather than ‘baffle you with science’, the books concentrate on telling you the things you really need to know in a very simple and concise way. If you wish to delve deeper into the subject later on – that’s great! While covering the requirements of the syllabus to ensure that you pass the CASA exam, the books concentrate heavily on those elements of the syllabus that are vital for your safety. They aim to give you the confidence which is so necessary to allow you to get the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your flying.

Bob Tait’s RPL book is the first volume in the complete RPL/PPL study guide, a home-study course designed to prepare students for the RPL exam. Please note, with the advent of CASA’a RPL exam delivered via ASL, much content from the PPL volume is also being examined at RPL level. Students are therefore advised to study from both books or to discuss the syllabus requirements for the school’s own RPL exam.

Each Extra Access set allows you to make 3 separate attempts at an additional randomised timed exams in the Exam Prep module you have already subscribed to. Each of these attempts is different from the others and draws questions from the entire question bank for the subject. This means the generated Extra Access exams will present questions you have already seen in the other four prep exams. The purpose of the Extra Access module is to give you a chance to practice your exam technique within the time constraints specified by CASA.

This book contains all new extra explanatory notes and hundreds of drill exercies covering the CASA syllabus items for both PPL and CPL navigation. This book is guaranteed to increase your accuracy and speed in calculating solutions to the navigation exercises in the exam. It includes answers with intermediate calculation steps to ensure you understand the process.
