What do i have to learn to get my PPL? Physics, math, english.....i know... but what part of them?

Answer 1

Take a look at Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,found athttp://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/handbook/: is FAA written, this is most every thing you will be required to learn to test successfully to become a private
pilot. If you are in high school, taking the college prep courses will more thatn prepare you for
what is required to become a pilot.
Also take a look at part 61 subpart E of the FARS that out lines what is required in your training. See:http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=a19e0300a9e06b23d3777a15d19b5806&rgn=div5&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.1.2&idno=14#14:2.0.1.1.2.5

Answer 2

Other subjects include, Meteorology(Pretty heavy part of it), Federal Air Regulations(FAR) and the Aeronautical Information Manuel(AIM). On your written you cannot use anything other than a regular calculator so I don't know where the first guy got his info. Its a lot of basic math, basic aerodynamics and all that fun stuff. Try going to http://www.beapilot.org ...There they will list flight schools in your area. Go talk to a CFI and find out what you really need to hit hard on. They also usually give a discovery flight if you haven't taken one already. Back when I started it was 49 dollars now i think its 69...Good Luck!

Answer 3

unfortunately, it would seem that you need mostly a person who could mentor you. in any case all school is useful,but without my texas instruments calculator I would have failed most of my writtens. but knowing what was ahead gave me a lust to study the Borrriinngg subjects, meterology,big important! simple science ,very useful, There are many rescourses also, look for a local EAA Chapter(experamental aircraft assoc), they are headquartered in Oshkosh,Wi, #414-426-4876, great group of people, and just GO to a local airport,and ask thatsame question, you will probably get a ride and an ear full . One last thingto remember "taildragger pilots get it in quicker" AM

Answer 4

Talk with a CFI (certified flight instructor) at your local flight school. He or she can guide you to get your PPL. It's tough, to be sure, but not impossible!! You can also look at aopa.org and faa.gov for good information.

Answer 5

Very simple math. Time, speed, and distance calculations.

Weight and balance calcs are just add, multiply, divide.

Answer 6

besides all of the subjects you named, there is one important subject you need to learn is the FAR's- Federal Aviation Regulations, when you test for any FAA license they will ask questions about the FAR's
