PPL Theory Kit — Volume 1 and 2

PPL Theory Kit — Bob Tait

The books that teach you the exam.

Your permitted materials kit gives you every document CASA allows in the exam room. This is what teaches you to answer the questions.

Why we recommend Bob Tait

There are two main study options for Australian PPL students, and this is the one we recommend for most people.

The reason is simplicity. The subjects are broken down and explained plainly, without assuming you already have a background in physics or aviation. If you're teaching yourself theory at a kitchen table on a Tuesday night after work, clarity matters more than depth — and this is the series that gets you there with the least friction.

The trade-off: some students want more technical depth than Bob Tait provides, particularly if you're coming from an engineering background or you're planning to push straight through to ATPL. If that's you, the Aviation Theory Centre series goes further. Not sure which suits you? Ask us — we'd rather you bought the right one.

What's included

Bob Tait PPL Volumes 1 and 2

The complete PPL theory syllabus, structured around what CASA actually examines.

Volume 1 covers the RPL syllabus. If you're sitting your RPL exam, this is the book you'll be working from.

Volume 2 picks up where it leaves off and takes you through the rest of the PPL. Together they cover the full PPLA syllabus.

Buying both now means you're not re-ordering mid-way through, and you'll find yourself going back to Volume 1 regularly while you work through Volume 2 — the material builds rather than replaces.
