Teaching aviation theory?

If you’re an instructor for the next generation of pilots, you’ll want them to be developing knowledge, skills and non-technical competencies during their ground training. That’s why we designed materials that engage students and help them understand the importance and relevance of the theory they’re learning, making the content interactive and bringing it to life with case studies and operational insights, so they listen, learn and remember.

For students

Daunted by ATPL theory?

Whether you’re on a flexible modular pathway or a full-time integrated course, students need good theory resources that are easy to follow. Padpilot’s interactive books are the most advanced ground school learning resources available. Not only do they help you learn, understand and memorise more effectively, they’re available on up to 3 devices of your choice.

Padpilot was designed to ensure that no newly qualified pilot starts type training with poor theoretical knowledge. Cadets who study ATPL theory using Padpilot resources are better prepared for airline training and beyond. Find out how we’re helping ground schools train the next generation of pilots, giving them the strong foundation of theoretical knowledge they need to succeed through airline training and onto the flight deck.
