Your exam prep with PPL: Pilot Aviation License

For most student pilots, the theory exam is the biggest hurdle on the way to a private pilot licence. This app lets you prepare with the officially licensed question bank of the International Central Question Bank (ICQB-PPL, formerly known as ECQB): over 1,200 EASA-compliant questions that are updated regularly. Every question comes with an explanation, so you actually understand the material instead of just memorising answers.

A single app covers the most important private pilot licences: PPL-A for aeroplanes, PPL-H for helicopters, SPL for gliders and BPL for hot-air and gas balloons. In learning mode, the traffic-light system shows you at a glance which questions you already know and where you still need practice – and you can study in six languages, including English.

When you feel ready, exam mode simulates the real thing: sample exam sheets, a built-in timer with the specified exam time and an approach aligned with the EASA learning objectives. You can download the app for free, try part of the questions and unlock the full catalogue in-app – completely offline and with no ads.

Who is the app for?

This app is built for student pilots preparing for the private pilot theory exam – whether you are going for PPL-A for aeroplanes or PPL-H for helicopters. Aspiring glider pilots (SPL) and balloon pilots (BPL) study with the matching question set in the same app. Whether you have just started flight school or your exam is around the corner, you set your own pace.

The exam

The PPL theory exam is taken with your national aviation authority under EASA rules, in multiple-choice format across several subject areas based on the EASA learning objectives. Which questions from the published catalogue actually appear in your exam is decided by the responsible authority. Your flight school will guide you through registration and scheduling.
