This latest edition of this widely used and respected study guide maintains its status
as the “go to” staple of the Canadian flight training and exam preparation
environment. As much as ever before, students can continue to benefit greatly from
their use of this newest version of this prominent question and answer book as they
take their final steps toward becoming thoroughly knowledgeable and fully
certificated pilots.
Intended for all individuals preparing to write the Transport Canada (TC) exam for
the private pilot license (PPL), the content of this new Canadian Private Pilot
Answer Guide, 9th Edition provides an excellent means for PPL students to study
and review the latest essential subject matter required to earn a license to fly.
As a foremost and established educational resource used by students and recommended by flying schools and
instructors across the country, the Canadian Private Pilot Answer Guide, 9th Edition covers all of the
aeronautical subjects that are required knowledge for students as they work toward their written PPL exam.
This incarnation of the title contains over 450 questions all of which replicate the style and subject matter of
questions on the TC PPL written exam. For this latest edition, a complete review of TC’s significantly updated
PPL Study & Reference Guide (TP12880) document has resulted in upgrades to content that reflect the revised
emphasis that TC is placing on new material in which it wants to test student knowledge.
Nine chapters make up the bulk of this title. They are: Chapter 1 Air Law; Chapter 2 Flight Operations;
Chapter 3 Airframes, Engines & Systems; Chapter 4 Flight Instruments; Chapter 5 Theory of Flight; Chapter 6
Meteorology: General; Chapter 7 Meteorology: Information Sources; Chapter 8 Navigation; Chapter 9 Human
Factors. A Chapter 10 Supplemental Content has been added which contains questions on material that, while
remaining relevant, has been removed from the latest TP12880. New questions are also present on topics that
do not appear in TP12880, but which may be relevant to any pilot’s future in flying.
Building on the successful format introduced with this title’s more recent editions, all questions contain very
thorough explanations in the Appendix Notes on the Questions. This section enhances this study guide’s format
making it not just a Q&A tool, but also a learning resource. It strengthens learning by providing content that
refines, re-enforces and consolidates all the theory that students have learned up to this point in their
educational path.
As always, a 100-question Sample Examination is also included within the book. Also, a detailed Index allows
students to identify specific subjects of interest for the fine-tuning of their studies.
