How the theory exam works

1. Hold a valid student pilot licence issued by the NCAA before you start PPL training.
2. Train with an NCAA-approved flying school; it organises the theory exams with you.
3. Pass each written exam with at least 75 %.
4. Ask your flying school or the NCAA licensing office for the current subject list, fees and which question source applies.
