Pilot Study AU Today screen showing the daily study plan

Everything you need to prepare for theory, in one app

A daily plan that fits

Pick RPL(A), PPL(A) or CPL(A) and, if you have one, your exam date. Each day you get a short plan of flashcards, practice questions and a radio drill, sized to the time you have, with your next exam and weakest topics first.

Bite-size lessons

Short lessons for each unit, built around the knowledge areas in the Part 61 Manual of Standards, with worked examples, common traps and a built-in calculator for performance, fuel and navigation problems.

Practice questions that explain

Exam-style questions by unit and topic, with an explanation for every answer option, not just the right one. Spaced-repetition flashcards schedule each review for when you're about to forget it.

Timed practice mocks

Practice exams use the published time limits and pass marks for each exam. Afterwards you get a breakdown by topic, so you know what to revise next.

Australian radio trainer

Practise CTAF broadcasts, Class D calls, read-backs and emergency calls with your own aircraft type and callsign. Type your call or say it out loud and get instant feedback. Scenarios use fictional aerodromes, for practice only.

Streaks and widgets

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your streak, today's progress, the days to your exam and a card of the day. A weekly check-in helps you see how you're tracking.
