Helicopter theory for android, tablets and desktops   

July 27, 2023

One year after launching our interactive helicopter theory Apple Books, we’re excited to let you know they’re now available on our ‘device agnostic’ eReader platform.

No iPad? No problem!

Written specifically for helicopter operations with stunning images, 3D models, video content and interactive study aids, Padpilot ATPL(H) books can now be downloaded onto Apple and Android devices, as well as browsers, via our new eReader platform.

ATPL(H) is the latest series to be added to the Padpilot eReader.

Other theory books available are:
Foundation

PPL(A)

ATPL(A)

In each case the eReader version exactly mirrors the iBook editions.

No you can study with Padpilot on any device

The Padpilot eReader content platform can be accessed on any device: Android, Apple and browsers.

1. Simply download the eReader app from the App Store or Google Play.

2. And then order your book subscription here: https://bit.ly/eReaderOrder

Each book subscription last for 3 years and allows downloads onto 3 devices – meaning you can study for your theoretical knowledge exams on your existing phone, tablet and desktop.

“When we launched them, these ATPL(H) books were the first set of commercial heli theory notes to be written from scratch specifically for rotary aircraft and their pilots. Up until then, rotary pilots had to use theory manuals adapted from aeroplane notes, rather than having their own, dedicated content. Now we’re delighted that helicopter pilots can study these books on any device as they prepare for the commercial exams” CEO, Graham Cownie.

For ATOs and helicopter training providers

For training providers we offer tailored packages of teaching and learning resources for students and instructors, including classroom presentations, learning management systems, and compliance & technical support.

Instructor classroom presentations are available as editable slide-sets that can be customised and mirror the ebook content to make planning and teaching easier.

Because the eReader book content exactly mirrors the original Apple Book editions, its easy to switch between Apple Books and the eReader editions, without having to change lesson plans or classroom presentations.

To try these resources out, please book a demo with Cristina Messaggi here: https://bit.ly/eReaderOrder

The combination of text, illustrations and videos helps me understand ATPL concepts far more easily. (e.g. Gyroscopes)

Padpilot helps me learn because of the range of media they use. The videos, pictures, 3D models and animations all make studying easier and more enjoyable.
