| Bob Tait RPL/PPL Study Guide Volume 1 | With CASA introducing the Part 61 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR) 1998 on the 1st September 2014, this textbook covers the up to date Recreational Pilot Licence syllabus.
Bob Tait has applied some fairly obvious common sense principles to the production of these books. When students begin a course of study they probably know little if anything about the subject. Each book in this series has been written for the student – not to impress their instructors. They assume that the reader has no prior knowledge of the subject and has no special training in physics or maths.
Education is not improved by telling students things they don’t need to know. 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 book concentrates heavily on those elements of the syllabus that are vital for your safety. The aim is to give you confidence that allows you to get the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your flying.
We humans can concentrate on only one thing at a time. The information is presented in small easily digestible portions, with frequent pauses for review. Each book features regular practice progress tests and practice exams. We all learn and remember best the things that are pleasant. The book is written in a relaxed conversational style which some have even described as entertaining! One of the most encouraging things about Bob Tait aviation education has been the constant positive feed-back from satisfied students around Australia.

| Bob Tait RPL/PPL Study Guide Volume 2 | Bob Tait’s PPL book is designed to take the student from the RPL level to the CASA cyber exam PPL level for Private Pilot Licence.
Hundreds of exam standard questions, including the sample questions from the CASA question database, which were released by CASA to help students prepare for the cyber examination.
Volume 2 can be used standalone if you have a more advanced understanding of the basics, but is ideally designed to be used in conjunction with Volume 1.
Together they combine all the required material from zero through to PPL standard.

| Bob Tait Recreational Aircraft BAK - RA AUS Pilot Certificate | This book has been written to cover the syllabus of theoretical knowledge for the RAA-AUS pilot certificate. It has been written especially for the beginner and does not presuppose any previous knowledge of aviation. Each chapter of the book ends with a series of questions designed to test your comprehension of the material covered. All questions are accompanied by detailed explanations of the answers. It does not pretend to be a manual on how to fly a particular aircraft, but it will prepare you well for your instructor’s pre-flight briefings as you progress through your flying training. | $94.50 | | aviation-textbooks-flight-guides ra-aus rpl-ppl-recreational-private-aeroplane-textbooks pilot-shop |
| Manual of Aviation Meteorology - Bureau Of Meteorology | Pilots operate in a dynamically changing and potentially risky weather environment. But does the atmosphere have to be a threat? To some extent it always will be, but pilots who have good knowledge of it, treat it with respect, keep their eyes open, and prepare adequately will enjoy safe and efficient flight. Pilots need to frequently refresh their knowledge of the weather by comparing what is observed with what is forecast and by studying all aspects of the weather by viewing and comparing radar and satellite images and weather maps to gain an overall appreciation of likely weather events. A clear understanding of local-scale influences on the weather is essential for all pilots, especially since significant atmospheric variations at low levels commonly adversely affect aircraft performance. In particular, convective activity, orographic features, lines of trees and seemingly insignificant obstacles can generate turbulence and wind shear of critical significance to aircraft performance, making low-level operations difficult and risky. It is wise for a pilot to be aware of the limitations of forecasts and other guidance material. Be aware that although weather forecasts are based on the best advice available, accuracy can only be assessed after the event. Most studies into aircraft accidents report that about half are weather related. The most common errors contributing to accidents are:
Understanding the material presented in this manual and constantly refreshing meteorological knowledge will go a long way in preparing pilots for safe and enjoyable flight. This book is included in AFT’s CMET and AMET Theory Courses.
