Yet to start learning to fly but in the late stages of deciding a school.
I have a few questions I have around the new format for PPL exams which I'm hoping you could help me on:
Thank you in advance!
I have a few questions I have around the new format for PPL exams which I'm hoping you could help me on:
- Are the online exams managed through the CAA Portal?
- Do I need to sit these at an airfield or can I sit the exam from the comfort of my home?
- If I can sit the exam myself, how do I pay for it? A school is offering a package where the exam is paid for as part of the package, how does that work?
- Would you advise having the majority of the exams completed before I start flying? Learning all the theory myself that is and no ground school classes.
- As far as I understand, there is no set window of X number of exams in an exam sitting, is that correct?
- How many times can you retake an exam?
- Does the test give you a breakdown on areas to focus should I not pass it?
Thank you in advance!
