The PPL Pilot’s guide
Jake Castle
Fréquence : 1 épisode/15j. Total Éps: 26

Jake Castle is a 30 year old EASA ATPL and CAA PPL holder from Essex England but currently residing in Malaga Spain. Self described as “not the smartest bloke” they have created a guide to all the exercises in the PPL syllabus to help break down into easy to understand chunks, helping you to maximise your time in your costly flying lessons learning to fly, not remembering how to fly.
As an auditory and kinaesthetic learner, they are someone that when driving to the airfields would have a roughly hour long drive to and from, and so would often need something to listen to, and they just wish they had the PPL Pilot’s guide during their training to help them learn.
This podcast is not there to teach you to fly but to supplement your studies so whilst you are driving to the airfield or washing up or on your commute to work or school, you can have this on in the background as a gentle reminder of what you need to do in that flying exercise.
This is not aircraft specific podcast and only serves to reinforce to basic fundamentals of each exercise which no matter if you are learning to fly for fun or aim to go commercial, analog or digital cockpit, it will be the building blocks of all your aviation.
You want to save money learning to fly by turning up to your lesson prepared, you do not want to spend your lesson time having to remember what you did last lesson or what you should be doing this lesson, you want to turn up, prepared and ready to learn new skills and develop.
Each episode labelled with the exercise number and a brief description, so you do not need to listen to all of them, simple find the exercise you need and have a listen.
Your instructor may tell you to do certain things differently as per the flying order book of your school/club or they simply may have their way of doing it, but this podcast serves to give you the fundamentals of each exercise.
Happy flying!

This lesson may be taught differently at your school/club but is maybe one of the most important.
The fundamentals are around slow flight recognising it, acquainted with what slow flight characteristics of the aircraft feel like and returning to normal flight.
You will need to learn to recognise the symptoms of the stall, the full stall and recover with minimum height loss

Exercise 7.1 & 8.1
Climbing and descending at a constant speed on a constant heading and in balance.
You may have noticed that some lessons you will do multiple exercises or that the order of the exercises are changed around and not linear.
The next few lessons are going to be exactly that so I have grouped them into hopefully the day they will be taught.

Exercise 6
Épisode 6
mardi 29 octobre 2024 • Durée 17:56
The aim of this exercise is the thing that will to learn to do more than anything else as a pilot which is yes flying straight and level but it is about consistency in flying straight and level.
It is being able to consistently fly in a constant direction which we will call straight whilst maintaining a constant altitude which we will call flying level and in balance. The balance refers to our balance call and as we learnt in effects if control, it is crucial we are in balanced coordinated flight

Exercise 4 is broken into 2 parts 4.1 & 4.2
Effects of controls is the overall title
This will probably be the single most important lesson you do as it will be the fundamentals of how you fly your plane and more importantly how you stay safe when there is an issue and not make things worse
The first part 4.1 is about your lookout and the primary effect and secondary effect of each control input
4.2 is also about effects of controls but is about the effects of some of the other controls outside of your primary flight controls

Exercise 3
Épisode 3
samedi 26 octobre 2024 • Durée 21:59
The aim of this exercise is to give you the opportunity to get the feel of being airborne in a light aircraft, maybe for the first time and experience the sensations of flying.
Let it be known, this is when your wallet will hurt as this is the point you realise you will have to get your licence, you simply cannot not get that thrill again.
