If you are studying to pass the ATPL theory exam, this QRH “Quick Reference Handbook” is for you. It is meant to provide a clear and concise overview of the Air Transport Pilot’s Licence (Aircraft) and is designed to help you pass the ATPL theory exam with straight-to-the-point explanations.
Written to provide all the necessary information to pass the ATPL theory exam with more than 120 comprehensive illustrations, it pays particular attention to points of possible confusion. For example, when several words mean the same thing, they are grouped together with a definition. When one acronym has different meanings, each meaning is described clearly to avoid confusion. It covers all 13 theoretical subjects and contains more than 1200 questions from the EASA ATPL question banks, with answers and explanations when necessary. The 14th certificate, 100KSA, is dealt with in general terms to prepare you for what you may expect from your ATO and the way they might evaluate you in this certificate.
There are also links to useful resources such as an Open Source free question bank created by ATPL pilot students… for ATPL pilot students and a helpful interactive replica of an Aviation Computer.
Although not an exhaustive syllabus of the EASA ATPL theory course, it will help you understand existing course material more easily and above all, provide a clear concise revision book for the ATPL examination.
I wish you the best of luck with your exams and aviation career !
