I have a friend interested in learning to fly. Are these all the latest editions? particularly the air law. I will forward this on to him and see if he's interested.

Alas, they are not the latest editions unfortunately. Air Law has a copyright date of 2011 inside the front cover, so it's probably a few years out. I imagine all the rest will still be relevant but wouldn't advise someone to learn the law on an old book...

Playing Devil's Advocate.....AIUI the bizarre situation is, that the exam papers, in some cases, are / were out of date. If you answered "correctly" with the out of date answer, it is/was a pass!....If yo gave the up-to date answer, either with/without explaining the superseded legislation, you still got/get a pass!
Assuming about 80% of the Law hasn't changed in 5 years since the press-date, a candidate can still get all the wrong answers to questions where the legislation's altered, but get a pass-mark nevertheless.
IMHO, a totally unsatisfactory situation, but I wonder how many fully-qualified Pilots even remember most of it, let alone are current with the "moved goalposts".

CS - Last I checked, exams were up to date with the law. There is a process in place to make sure that exam centres keep their papers up to date.

Ok, thanks for the update, RR, but there was , indeed, a thread on that very subject, either here or over on the "Dark-side"
Am I correct in suggesting, all things being equal, a diligent student who has studied a recent, but obsolete textbook, has a high chance of passing an exam....based on the proposition that the pass mark is~80% max. and the marks are spread evenly across old and new? Most of the subjects as with principles of flight, really only alter in minor interpretation...to paraphrase a Scotsman, "ye canna alter the laws of physics, Captain"

My sincere apologies, I genuinely thought the Forum system would send an email notification when I received a new reply!
Yes still for sale!! Open to offers, need to factor in postage as they're heavy, otherwise collect from OX11 (Didcot) ??
