Need help with upcoming PPL exam

Need help with upcoming PPL exam

Edited: add some examples

Hi everyone!

I'll be passing the mock exam on the 8/07 but the thing is I still struggle a lot on some exercises that involves any kind of math.

Such has performances calculation (roc/rod/... and nav calculation with VOR and all)

I know it's a lot to ask but is someone maybe available to explain it quickly?

Preferably in french, all my text book and exercises are in french.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Read t/o performance chart

Solved thank you all!

Hi everyone!

I'm lost on this exercise, can someone give me an explanation?

I'm supposed to find 380m for the answer.

I've circled the given information into the exercise on the pic.

I'm actually confused on where I should put the line once in the aircraft mass as when coming from 5000ft and -20°c I'm below the 750kg line.

I've tried looking in my book but I have no example for this given situation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a PPL student working toward an ATPL on a modular path. I expect to complete my PPL around August/September, so I’m starting to plan the next steps.

There’s a lot of discussion around a potential pilot “shortage,” and I’m trying to get a realistic perspective on how relevant that is for someone progressing through training today.
I’m aware that at the PPL stage it may be early to focus on this, as the situation can evolve by the time I complete my ATPL.

I followed the modular path, and I’ll soon have to choose between completing the ATPL theory in a full-time classroom setting or through distance learning with one day per week in class for Q&A.
I'm a bit torn between the 2 options;

  1. A full-time lesson will allow me to focus on ATPL only
  2. Keeping my job will let me keep an income (currently working part-time)

Another factor is that I currently work in airport security with Delta, which gives me regular exposure to airline operations and opportunities to speak with pilots. I’m interested in understanding how relevant this kind of experience is from a recruitment perspective and whether staying in this role longer could be beneficial.

For those already in the industry,

  1. How much weight should be given to the “pilot shortage” when planning a training path today?
  2. Beyond flight hours and licenses, what factors help a candidate during recruitment?
  3. If graduating during a slower hiring period, what are realistic pathways to build experience while waiting for airline opportunities (FI, charter, cargo, etc.)?

Thank you for your time and future insight :)
