About us

We help pilots pass exams and interviews

Short animated lessons, a voice that explains, and mock exams in the real format. One topic at a time, a few minutes a day.

The first unit of every pack is free.
Our mission

Make hard pilot theory easy to see, easy to remember, and ready for exam day.

Most pilot theory is taught as pages of text. We teach it the way pilots think: with pictures that move, a voice that explains, and practice that feels like the real exam.

For pilots only

Licences, type rating ground school, airline selection, defence entry and ICAO English. Nothing else.

Built around the real exam

Mock exams follow the published format for each paper, so exam day feels familiar.

Fair pricing

The first unit of every pack is free. Then you pay once for the pack you need. No subscription.

How we teach

Four ideas behind every lesson

Each one is simple. Together, they make ideas stick long after the lesson ends.

1 · MISCONCEPTION FIRST

Start with what fools people

A lesson opens on the view that looks right but is wrong. Seeing the trap first makes the real answer memorable.

2 · PREDICTION STOPS

Guess before you see it

The lesson pauses and asks you to predict. A wrong guess gets a short voice explanation. A right one gets a quick reply.

3 · WORKED EXAMPLES

See it solved, then try one

Calculations are shown one step at a time. Then you solve a similar problem yourself, with hints if you need them.

4 · SPACED REVIEW

Review just before you forget

Short reviews come back over days and weeks. Each one makes the idea last longer, so exam day holds no surprises.

Our promise

Every lesson is checked by an instructor

Before a lesson goes live, an instructor checks the facts, the animation and every question. Clear is good. Correct comes first.

  • Spot a mistake? Report it from the lesson.
  • Every report is checked again by an instructor.
  • When the syllabus changes, the lessons change too.

Meet Zulu

Your co-pilot in every lesson

Zulu is a swift in a pilot cap. Swifts spend most of their lives in the air, so Zulu feels at home up there, and helps you feel at home too.

In every lesson, Zulu is the voice that explains. When you pick a wrong answer, Zulu tells you why in a few seconds.
