Thanks to our shoddy summer it looks like i'll be finishing my exams before the flying as I only have radio and flight planning to do afterwards! I've already done a few navigation flights, including a couple of away landings (non solo) and one solo nav to a mast about 25nm away and back and I'm fairly happy filling out a VFR plog. My question is should I study any area in particular in Nav. I've got a fairly good idea of what I'm doing overall but what specific areas should I be really good at? Are there any tips you guys have? So far I've been told that a sharp pencil can mean the difference between a right and wrong answer on the whiz-wheel! Cheers, Spectre    Report

Practise loads of these before the exam.  There is a book called the PPL Question and Answer Simplifier (available from AFE) which has sample exam papers.  There is also an excellent website called PPL Quiz which will allow you to practice exam-type questions.    Report

There is the PPL Perfector by Keith Williams  and the one Edward mentioned both I think will give you a 90% ish mark if you work through them fully. I also have a list of resources for online question banks see my links page at http://www.targetaviation.co.uk/targetaviation/linkwrap.asp Worth the £20 most of them charge    Report
