Mastering PPL: Human Performance and Limitations

di Matthew Dowell (Autore)

Matthew Dowell, 2026

Know the pilot in the left seat. Every flight depends on its pilot. Mastering PPL: Human Performance and Limitations teaches the whole subject from first principles, in plain language, for the aeroplane PPL(A): how you see, hear, think, tire and decide, and where each of those reaches its limit. The book covers the full published PPL(A) theoretical knowledge syllabus for Human Performance and Limitations, with short boxes wherever UK and European practice differ. Each chapter ends with key points and original practice questions with explained answers, and a full mock paper closes the book. Inside: Oxygen, hypoxia, carbon monoxide and the body at height Eyes, ears and balance, and what happens when the senses disagree Fitness, sleep, alcohol, medicines and fatigue Attention, memory, error and decision making Stress, arousal, attitudes and situational awareness Clear diagrams, practice questions with explained answers, and a mock paper All practice questions were written for this book. The book is not a question bank, does not predict any examination and is not a course of training: follow your flying school's instruction and your aircraft's flight manual. Capt. Matthew Dowell is an airline training captain, examiner and Chief Flight Instructor. This is a personal work, not issued by or on behalf of any employer, regulator or other body. Book 1 of the Mastering PPL series.
