Hicences. These syllabi and the regulations governing the award and the renewal of licences are defined bythe JAA’ slicensingagency, known as “Joint Aviation Requirements-Plight Crew Licensing’, or JAR- PCL, The introduction of JAA licences is, naturally, accompanied by associated JAR-FCL practical skill tests (tests of flying ability) and theoretical knowledge examinations corresponding to each level of licence: Private Pilot Licence, Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), CPL with Instrument Rating and Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). The JAR-FCL skill tests and the ground examinations, though similar in content and scope to those conducted by many national authorities, are inevitably different in detail from the tests and examinations set by any individual JAA member state under its own national scheme. Consequently, students who wish to train for JAA licences need access to study material which has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the new licensing system. As faras the JAA ATPL ground examinations are concerned, the subject matter to be tested is set out in the ATPL training syllabus contained in the JAA publication, ‘JAR-FCL 1 (Aeroplanes)’. Inevitably, this syllabus represents a compromise between the differing academic contents of the national ATPL, training syllabi it replaces. Thus, it follows that the advent of the new examinations has created a need for completely new reference texts to cover the requirements of the new syllabus. This series of manuals, prepared by Oxford Aviation Training and published by Jeppesen, aims to cover those requirements and to help student pilots prepare for the JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge examinations (Oxford Aviation Training (OAT) is one of the world’s leading professional pilot schools. It has been in operation for over thirty years and has trained more than 12, 000 professional pilots for over 80 airlines, world-wide, OAT was the firs pilot school in the United Kingdom to be granted approval to train for the JAA ATPL. As one of the most active members of the European Association of Airline Pilot Schools, OAT has been a leading pleyer in the pan-European project to define, in objective terms, the depth and scope of the academic content of JAA ATPL ground training as outlined in ‘JAR-FCL | (Aeroplanes)’. OAT led and coordinated this joint-Euopean effort to produce the JAA ATPL Learning Objectives which are now published by the JAA itself.as a guide to the theoretical knowledge requirements of ATPL training In less than two years since beginning JAA ATPL training, and despite the inevitable teething problems that national aviation authorities have experienced in introducing the new examination system, OAT has achieved an unsurpassed success rate in terms of the passes its students have gained in the JAA ATPL, examinations. This achievement is the result of OAT’s whole-hearted commitment to the introduction of the new JAA licensing system and ofits willingness to invest heavily in the research and development required to make the new system work for its students. OAT has not only been at the forefront of the effort made to document JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge requirements, but it has also produced associated academic notes of the highest quality and created computer-generated and web-based ATPL, lessons which ensure that its students are as well-prepared as possible to succeed in the ground examinations. continued...
