Choose a topic. Each page contains three original FlightDesk exercises, with answer options and an explanation of the reasoning.
PPL meteorology questions require you to distinguish observations, forecasts and physical quantities. These examples review METARs, TAFs and dew point: read the question, choose an answer and compare your reasoning with the explanation.
Try the 3 questions →To solve PPL navigation questions, separate distance, time and ground speed. The following examples use short calculations with explicit units: try them yourself, then check the method. These are theory exercises with stated assumptions to make each calculation clear.
Try the 3 questions →When studying PPL principles of flight, connect each answer to aircraft behaviour. These examples review angle of attack, load factor and induced drag. The explanations also clarify the conditions in each question: a formula applies only when its assumptions hold.
