The PPL Pilot’s guide episodes

  • APS MCC

    A bonus episode focusing on the Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation course.


    This is not part of the PPL syllabus but as so many go on from PPL to commercial training, I thought this episode would be a helpful insight into what is required and what the APS MCC actually is.


    This episode is designed for prior to starting your APS MCC to give you a head start in understanding and preparing.

  • CPL

    The commercial pilots licence is maybe the toughest test (I thought so anyway) but it doesn’t have to be, there is so much you can do to prepare.


    I have given my story and my journey, with a few snippets of what the CPL includes and how to ace your skill test, maximising your training.
