* PPL Flight Performance and Planning CBT
New, revised and updated computer based training for the JAA/EASA PPL and the UK NPPL.
As a pilot, you must have a clear perspective on your aircraft's capabilities. It is essential for you to know, for instance, how well, or how badly, your aircraft performs in the various phases of flight. How much runway will you use for take-off and landing, how well will the aircraft climb, how far it can fly, how long can it remain airborne? These are questions you need to know the answer to for every aircraft you fly. You will find the answers to these questions through your study of the theoretical knowledge subject 'Aircraft Performance'. Fully appreciating your aircraft's performance and what controls that performance is vital for safe and efficient flying operations.
A companion subject to 'Aircraft Performance' is 'Mass & Balance'. Whatever the phase of flight, it is vitally important that the location of the aircraft's centre of gravity always remains within the limits specified by the design of the aircraft. If the centre of gravity falls outside these limits, the aircraft's flying characteristics will be adversely affected and the aircraft may ultimately become uncontrollable. Pilots need to understand thoroughly the role played by the position of the centre of gravity. The 'Mass & Balance' section of this CD-ROM covers all the necessary knowledge and principles to enable you, the pilot, and the aircraft captain, to check that your aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced for safe and efficient operations.
As a pilot, you must at all times be aware of what forces are acting on your aircraft, both on the ground and in the air. These forces are generated by a combination of the static loads carried by your aircraft and the dynamic loads generated when your aircraft is accelerating, whether in a straight line, in turning flight or when recovering from a dive or aerobatic manoeuvre.

"The beauty of CBT in general and this package in particular is the consistency and quality of both presentation and instruction. Your personal trainer never has a bad day." Flyer Magazine, Dec 2003.
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, an interactive CD must be good for several million. OATS [OATmedia] and Transair have put together an ambitious, comprehensive and easy to use ground study package, and as an instructor I’d have no hesitation in recommending it to students. It’s a unique and accessible medium for getting over the massive body of sometimes arcane facts they need to soak up to take their written exams. More than that, it presents the information in such an accessible way that I suspect it will stick in their minds longer than book-derived information" General Aviation, Dec 2003.
"Although there is no substitute for tuition from a professional tutor, this product is a perfect supplement to classroom work." Today's Pilot, Jan 2004
"It's a good piece of training equipment that I would certainly recommend to PPL students and training organisations" Pilot magazine, Feb 2004. Page 1, Page 2 and Page 3
