Distance Learning with Padpilot

March 13, 2020

Today we have released a free digital guide for trainee or aspiring pilots who wish to make progress towards a career as an airline pilot while at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘The Padpilot Guide To Distance Learning’ can be downloaded from the Apple Books store onto iPad, iPhone or Mac. It’s designed to help students study productively on their own, with an understanding of how the subjects are relevant to an airline career, without getting overwhelmed by the vast ATPL theory syllabus.

The guide was set to accompany the launch of Padpilot’s new EASA 2020 syllabus ATPL(A) books at the end of March. It contains study tips and explanations of how to use the interactive features within the Padpilot theory books to enhance learning and memory retention. Now, having received requests for help from those in self-isolation, Padpilot has included additional information for those wanting to use their time at home to prepare for professional pilot training courses, before they begin a formal training programme.

It can be daunting to know where to start with ATPL theory, but with some structure and guidance, it’s possible to make good progress.
These ‘pre-coursers’ may not have any aviation experience yet, so the guide explains how to build your aviation knowledge, which theory books to start with and why, and which subjects to save for ATPL ground school with an instructor.

“We hope this little guide will help aspiring aviators and distance learning pilots make the most of their time at home,” said Graham Cownie, MD. ”It can be daunting to know where to start with ATPL theory, but with some structure and guidance, it’s possible to make good progress in preparation for when pilot recruitment begins to pick up again.”

We’re very pleased with our move to Padpilot – both for the PPL course, and also very much for our new CB-IR course, where the Padpilot team did an amazing job getting the course up and running in a very short time. We’ve been dealt with very professionally - we’ve had a great beginning and we’re very happy to be onboard.

Compared with other ATPL materials I tried, Padpilot books were by far the most enjoyable ones for reading.

Your books are excellent! I managed to get 97%, 95% and 93% in Air Law, OP and M&B just using your books. They are well written with just the right amount of detail.

The books have a lot of references to new information, systems, and accidents that have happened lately, so you know they are very up to date.

We believe in the flexibility that distance learning offers, while accepting no sacrifices in terms of quality of learning. A vital part of achieving this goal is to have access to up-to-date, solid, and digitally advanced learning materials. Padpilot offers this and we’re eager to get started.
