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.
