Dean:
Thanks for the offer of help, and yes it will be a large undertaking and I totally understand that your IR comes first. I may pick your brain when have time though 🙂
You could clean up if you did something for PPL exams online a la Bristol but it is not something that will pay off straightaway. Bristol are charging £50 for 90 days. You may also find people will buy the cheaper book format PPL Confuser instead, however with an accurate database, they may think otherwise.

I may put the syllabus up first then maybe do 100 questions for each subject that will for a small bank then the user can select a subject and will get 30 or so questions at random from the bank, obviously I can build the bank up as time goes on. I am not looking at this being a commercial product I am just looking to give PPL Students a place where they can go to get help, infomation, and some ground school data. This should be a free service (at least initially it depends if I have to buy data) hopefully and anyone buying their books through Amazon from the site will help towards the running costs.
I have all the Trevor Thom books still (but obviously cannot copy them) so I have some detailed information for the ground school pages. It will be a lot to put into the site but perhaps I should start (after doing the syllabus and question bank) by covering areas that are generally weak areas for users. Feedback would be essential here so that I know what areas to cover etc. Experienced Pilots, FIs etc could also pitch in with some information and to check that any data on the site is accurate etc.
Phew This is gonna take a while LOL
Thanks for listening guys
