The Whizz Wheel & EASA/UK CAA PPL Math Suite

Conquer the CRP-1W (Whizz Wheel) and master the trickiest calculations required to ace your EASA and UK CAA PPL exams.


Stop second-guessing your wind triangles and density altitude conversions. We specifically focus on the CRP-1W's built-in wind arm—meaning no drawing, no pencil marks, and faster calculations during your exams. This targeted session breaks down the essential math, shortcuts, and flight computer mechanics you need for Navigation, Meteorology, and Flight Planning.


📅 What We Cover


Module 1: Whizz Wheel Mechanics & Dead Reckoning (Navigation)

The foundational skills for your Nav exam and practical cross-country flying.

  • Equipment Mastery: Confidently navigate the CRP-1W and its time-saving features.
  • Wind Vectors (No Drawing Required!): Master the wind arm to instantly calculate True Heading (TH) and Groundspeed (GS) without the hassle of plotting pencil dots.
  • The Basics: Speed, Time, Distance, and Fuel Consumption (including Imperial/US/Metric unit conversions).
  • In-Flight Math: The 1-in-60 rule for track error and heading corrections (a major UK CAA/EASA exam focus), plus Top of Descent (TOD) calculations.
  • Airspeed Conversions: Calculating IAS to CAS to TAS.

Module 2: Altimetry, Atmosphere & Performance (MET & AGK)

Clearing up the confusion around pressure settings and temperature.

  • Altimetry Rules: Demystifying QNH, QFE, QNE, and transition altitudes.
  • Altitude Conversions: Calculating Pressure Altitude, Density Altitude, and True Altitude (applying temperature corrections).
  • Atmospherics: Navigating ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) deviations and calculating Cloud Base using temperature/dewpoint spread.

Module 3: Weight, Balance & Flight Planning (FPP)

Ensuring you are legal, safe, and ready for the exam charts.

  • Mass & Balance: Center of Gravity (CG) shift formulas, adding/removing mass, and calculating datum moments.
  • Performance Charts: Extracting data for Take-off (TODR) and Landing (LDR), factoring in surface conditions (wet/dry grass), slope, and wind.
  • Wind Components: Accurately calculating headwind and crosswind components for runway selection.
  • Fuel Planning: Ramp, Take-off, and Landing weights, plus calculating fuel burn and mandatory EASA reserves.

Who is this for?

Student pilots studying for their EASA or UK CAA PPL/LAPL theoretical exams, or those struggling to translate textbook math into practical flight planning. Have your CRP-1W, a calculator, and some scratch paper ready!
