I’m thrilled to have been part of this project and can’t wait to see it in stores soon!

✈️ NEW RELEASE - Private Pilots’ Licence: Further Aviation Studies ✈️

More than 10 years in the making, our new PPL title is designed for pilots who want more than just an exam pass. Private Pilots’ Licence: Further Aviation Studies covers all required PPL theory, while going beyond the minimum to build genuine understanding of flying, aircraft, decision-making and real-world operations.
The content is set out in 6 easy-to-digest parts, making it simple to study in manageable sections and build solid foundations step by step.

Authored by David, and completed by Jonty and Isaac from the Aviation Theory team, this book draws on decades of instructional experience and supports confident PPL flying, while providing a strong platform for future commercial studies. We are proud to carry this title forward and are looking forward to building on David’s legacy.

📘 Available now on our website, with pilot shops coming soon.
