Restrictions

A mark of 75% or more is a pass and there is no penalty marking.
You must complete and pass all required theoretical knowledge exams within 18 months, counted from the end of the calendar month in which you first attempted one of the required exams.
EASA regulations state that all theoretical knowledge exams for a particular licence must be completed in six exam sessions. In the case of CPL, IR and ATPL exams, this means completing them within six attendances at CAA exam centres. However, the LAPL and PPL exams are administered by ATOs and a session is defined as a 10 consecutive day period.

Tip Jar

We can highly recommend Aviation Training Network on YouTube to help with studying.
