  2. Aerodynamics.
  3. Basic Aircraft Knowledge.
  4. Human Factors.
  5. Performance.
  6. Meteorology.

Sky Logic’s Practice Exams

Our practice exams have been designed to help build a comprehensive understanding of the subjects included in the PPLA exam. They also prepare our students for tricky CASA question-wording.

We receive regular feedback from students who have completed the PPLA exam, allowing us to update and add to our question bank monthly. 

Sky Logic takes great pride in the quality of our questions and ensuring you get the most out of your purchase. With a user-friendly platform (accessible from your computer, tablet or phone), realistic exam simulations, and detailed explanations, we’re dedicated to helping you reach your aviation dreams.

What is included:

Exam Structure:

  • The PPLA practice exams package includes three exams containing 60 questions each.

    – Questions are sourced from three distinct question pools to guarantee no repeated questions across the three exams during your initial attempt.
    – We allow multiple attempts at each exam. However, each pool of questions is limited; there is no guarantee that further attempts will produce a brand-new set of questions.
    – The exams are not time-limited, allowing you to complete the questions at your own pace. You may save your progress and continue at a later time.

  • We have included a timed exam of 60 questions to simulate exam conditions.
    – This exam will draw questions from all three of the question pools.

    – We suggest you treat this as if you were completing the CASA exam to ensure you can meet the time requirement. 

You can also check your answers as you answer each question or check them all at the end; the choice is yours.

What to expect after your purchase:

Within 15 minutes of your purchase, you will receive an email that will prompt you to create an account with Sky Logic. Once you have completed this, you will gain immediate access to the practice exams you purchased through our website’s “My Account” section.

The exams included in the PPLA package will remain available to you for up to 90 days after purchase. 

How we differ from our competitors:

At Sky Logic, we prioritise QUALITY over quantity. 

Writing practice questions is easy; Writing questions that challenge your thinking and force you to think outside the box is not.

CASA exams not only test your aviation knowledge but also your English. Their wording of questions is designed to confuse you into selecting the incorrect answer, even though your knowledge of the subject is adequate.  

Our instructors consider this when writing questions so you are prepared for whatever CASA may throw at you. Furthermore, we have included additional questions to cover the most common errors made in each CASA exam. 

We have extensively reviewed the Part 61 Manual of Standards (MOS) requirements for each exam and are confident our practice exams align with what CASA expects.
