    • Good afternoon! I’ve just updated the story feature on the website. You’ll notice it just above. Please feel free to share any flying photos or a snapshot of your study desk. Hope you have a great weekend! Happy landings.

    • Hi, Is there a way to export my previous practices of the full exam? there is only the option to move to next practice exam.

      The instructor would like to review my answers.

      thanks Phil

      • Hi Phil, Yes you can. Here is the direct page link: https://app.pilottrain.com/exam-results/

        Navigate to the licence category where you sat the exam, then select the arrow to reveal recent exam attempts. Select ‘View’ under the statistics column.

        Note that the most recent attempts are at the bottom of the list 😀

      • Good morning all, please be advised that on 12 June 2025 (This Thursday) a new AIP will come into effect. Please ensure that you update your documents before taking any exams. Here is a summary of the changes. Have a great week!

      • Hi All, just wondering how people manage to understand (and remember) what’s in each of the permitted materials for CPL Air Law (CLWA)? I’m finding that there’s often many references to one topic across the various materials (for example, ELTs) but don’t all say the same thing. Any tips, or is this subject just mass repetition?

        • Hi Lachlan, great question. The hardest part of CPL Air Law is often finding the info, not knowing it. CASA allows you to highlight, underline, and tab your permitted materials—so make the most of that.… Read more

          • Thanks Jonty. Fingers crossed repetition will be the secret to success.

          • Hi there, i cant get the app to work on weither ipad or google android phone.

            • Hi Philip, thanks for the question. We discontinued the app about six months ago—it was extremely resource-intensive to maintain across both iOS and Android, and it was pulling focus from where we really want to prioritise our time: improving and building more exam content.

              You’ll still be able to do everything on mobile by logging in through… Read more

              • Awesome thank you, thought it might be something like that. Finally getting back into the study groove after several months.

              • Are there any practice tests here for all ATPL theory exams? The highest level I can find here is CPL.

                • Hi Jayden, currently not at this time. Was there a particular exam you were looking for? I may have something I could put together.

                  • Jayden Abdulbaki (edited)

                    Hey Jonty, not really anything specific, just a practice test for all the theory for ATPL – Aerodynamics and meteorology are pretty similar in CPL (just need more in depth practice for an ATPL level), but subjects for the rest just exploring a little bit deeper.

                    Any tips to pass RPLA exam? I already failed twice. Not a big problem with graphs, but TEM, windshear, Fuel systems, maintenance, etc

                  • Passed my RPL CASA test. Thanks to this platform. Very nicely done and convenient.

                    • Congratulations, Violetta! 🎉 Great to hear you’ve passed your RPL—well done! Thanks for the kind words, and we’re glad the platform helped.

                    • In a RPL(A) exam how are you supposed to calculate crosswind components if only a basic calculator is allowed? i.e a calculator unable to do sin calculations

                      • Great question! There is a handy table in the “AIP Book” that serves as a quick reference guide. This is one of the documents you can take into the RPL(A) exam, best pickup a copy if you haven’t already. Also available online. Table is found under GEN 2.6-5 (screenshot attached) 😀

                        • Cheers – much appreciated

                        • Howdy,

                          in the process of working through the MOS part 61 aeronautical standards to ensure I am prepared

                          for the PIRC exam , and not missing some areas

                          up to section 3.2 seem to be able to relate items to the FAA handbook for information.

                          At section 3.3 , hit a brick wall, mainly on 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 .

                          is there some other reference source , difficult…

                            Hey Grant,

                            Totally normal to hit a wall at MOS §3.3 — that’s where it shifts from general instructional principles (which the FAA Instructor Handbook covers well) to expectations around lesson planning, syllabus structure, and delivery methods.

                            A great alternative reference is the New Zealand Flight Instructor Guide — it’s not CASA, but the… Read more

                              Excellent thanks Jonty,

                              still not much info there specifically on 3.3.1 , and 3.3..2?

                              • Hi Jonty, does this mean we need to purchase the latest AIP, or can we get by with swapping out the changes (which seem to be very small)?

                                1
                                • Hi Peter, great question. You can absolutely swap those pages out. So long as you have a subscription from the AIP shop, you should have already received a small number of replacement pages in the mail with instructions on how to swap them out. Otherwise it might be best to get a new AIP with an update subscription.

                                • ​The regulator has released new plain English guides for Part 61 flight crew licensing, applicable to both aeroplane and helicopter pilots. Check them out here.
