WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT
This book is not a manual on how to fly an aeroplane. It does not set out to replace
your instructor's pre-flight briefing. However, when you have completed your study,
you should be well equipped with the required background to get the very best value
out of your briefings.
WHAT THIS BOOK IS
This book is a study guide designed to prepare students for the CASA Commercial
Pilot Licence Australia [CPLA] Examinations. It contains a full text covering all
areas of the syllabus relating to Aerodynamics.
As each section of the subject is dealt with, you will be presented with exercises in
the formof a set of multi-choice questions to test your comprehension of that section.
The text occasionally goes beyond the requirements of the syllabus, however the
exercises are designed to indicate the level of understanding required by the CASA
PEXO EXAMINATION. Each exercise is accompanied by fully explained answers.
At the end of the book, you will find final tests with explained answers.
If you have a sound understanding of the contents of this book, you will have no
trouble performing to the required standard in the CASA PEXO examination in
Aerodynamics.
