PPL training vs CPL training?

Hey there, I have a question I was hoping someone could help me out with. Other than the hours in the plane, what's the biggest difference in the CPL from the PPL as far as the books go (studies).

Re: You Lucky Bastards.....

I just stumbled across a book my Grandpa had for years about flying in the Nahanni, called Wings of the North by Dick Turner, I'm sure it's not new to many on here, but if you haven't read it, and are wondering about "how difficult" it is to fly the Nahanni, get the book, it's a fun read.

PPL before college?

Quick question.... Do you need your PPL before signing up for the aviation management program's at Sault or Confederation college's (to come out with your CPL) ? If not, would a portion of PPL training (ground or whatnot) at a local flight school be beneficial before going away to college? I'm just ...

Re: Is liking CBC Radio a sign you're getting old?

I'm 25, and I've been hooked on the CBC Radio 1 and 3 for two years now. I listen to nothing else, and I wear the Retro T-shirt proudly! I don't even bother with the T.V.
