I’m training at Cheshire Air Training School in Liverpool, does anyone go there? I’ve just done stalling and will soon be on the circuits but i’ve got an air law exam in a few weeks so if there’s any tips and advice you could give me, fire away. I’m really nervous about it.

Multiple choice – yes. They’ll all be in that format, and have three possible answers. Of the three, one will be absolutely correct, one will *look* correct, and one will be reasonably easy to eliminate.
The trick is to read and understand the whole question. And then read and understand each possible answer. A lot of it is down to the way it’s worded, and a misinterpretation on your part could easily be the difference between a pass and a fail. Just remember HTQ=HTA. Half The Question is Half The Answer… 😉
You probably don’t need to know the AIC off by heart, but you will need to be aware of the salient points. Your Air Law exam will consist of 40 questions, of which you must answer 30 correctly to pass, so you’ve got some leeway…

you know when they say multiple choice questions are they all like that? And do you need to know the AIC off by heart eg,
aic 1996 pink 120. Thanks for your advice, it really helps. Wish me luck although i haven’t got it untill a few weeks time.

I was going to recommend the Confuser, but Glenn’s beaten me to it!
Trevor Thom is great as a reference, and so I’d advise you to buy the set; I got mine from Transair last year for about £120 for the bundle. But the Confuser is much better for testing your own knowledge level. Probably the best £24 you’ll spend.
Everyone’s got their own ways of doing it; personally I work through each batch of twenty questions on a first pass, mark them, and then go back and find out which ones you got wrong. Note the subjects down using just two words, ie, PPL Legislation, Light Signals, etc. By the time you’ve worked through the whole Air Law chapter you’ll be able to tot up how many of each subject you got wrong, and therefore which are the areas that you most need to read up on.
Of course, this is all geared towards hitting the magical 75% and moving on to the next exam. The ideal would be to hit 100% every time, but you’re only human and you’ll never know everything; that’s what your set of Trevor Thom’s are for, future reference. And remember when you get your PPL, it’s your Licence to Learn.
Best of British! 😀

I also used the Trevor Thom books but the PPL Confuser is very good for revision. If there were areas that I had problems with I went straight back to the Thom books.
There are a number of different tests for each subject. What I used to do was do one paper and not move onto the next until I consistently got 100%. I did start to answer the questions in different orders after the first attempt otherwise you get used to the pattern of X’s on the answer sheet…
The PPL Confuser is £23.95 from transair.

confuser book
no i haven’t actually, i’ve been using the Trevor Thom book and they have questions in the back. How much is the book that you suggested? Thanks for the help too!

Have you got the “PPL Confuser” book?
It basically has all the possible questions that will appear on all of the exams. There are other books like this and I did try to use them, but the PPL confuser seems to match the exam style much better than the others.
It’s well worth it. I picked mine up from Transair.
Good luck.
