Description
Watch the lesson. Then make it stick.
This workbook turns every lesson of the Canadian Flight Trainers Private Pilot Ground School into something you do with a pencil. Fill in the key terms, label the diagrams, work the numbers, read real charts, and make the calls a pilot in command makes. It follows the course lesson by lesson, and it is built around TP 12880, Transport Canada’s study and reference guide for the private pilot written exam.
What’s inside
- 15 lessons matched to the online course, each with a QR code that takes you straight to its videos
- Lesson summaries written around the questions you need to be able to answer on the PPAER
- Build Your Understanding boxes on the concepts CFT students get wrong most often, with the percentage who missed them
- Real NAV CANADA GFAs and a VFR Navigation Chart excerpt printed to scale, so you practise on the real thing
- A complete answer key with explanations at the end of every part

The five parts
Who it’s for
Students in the CFT Private Pilot Ground School, first of all: the lessons line up one to one, and the QR codes drop you into the right videos. It also works on its own for anyone preparing for the Transport Canada PPL written exam who wants structured practice with real Canadian material, and for instructors who want something to hand a student between flights.
