Learn PPL(A) theory efficiently – with an AI tutor to BAZL standard

Aero.Academy covers all nine subjects of the PPL(A) theory that the BAZL requires for the private aeroplane pilot licence: air law, aircraft general knowledge, flight performance and planning, human performance, meteorology, navigation, operational procedures, aerodynamics and communication.

You get learning texts in English, a large question database in the style of the ECQB exam questions, and an AI tutor you can ask anything – even at two in the morning, when the pressure-altitude formula just won't sink in. Plus a dashboard that shows where you stand and which topics you should still review before you sit the BAZL exam.

1. Take the placement test. In about 30 minutes you see which subjects are already solid and where you have gaps. From that, the platform builds your study plan.

2. Learn at your own pace. You work through the modules, answer questions and have the AI tutor explain concepts that stay unclear. Every wrong answer is commented – not just “right/wrong”, but with reasoning.

3. Exam preparation. Once your knowledge is stable, you practise under exam conditions with mock exams in the ECQB format. The platform tells you honestly whether you're ready – or where you should still put in more work.

Classic question catalogues test whether you know an answer by heart. That's sometimes enough for the exam – but not for flying.

Aero.Academy's AI tutor does two things differently. First, it continuously adapts your study plan: you revise exactly the topics you haven't mastered yet, not the ones you already know (spaced repetition). Second, you can ask follow-ups. If you don't understand why a high-pressure system brings inversion weather in winter, it explains – with a second example if the first doesn't click.

The AI doesn't replace your flight instructor. It only takes over what is self-study: repetition, explanation, tracking.

You can try Aero.Academy free for 7 days – no credit card. After that there are two options:

• Monthly: CHF 39.– per month, cancel anytime.
• PPL package: CHF 290.– for 12 months of access. That covers the period in which most people finish their theory.

Both plans include all nine subjects, the AI tutor, unlimited mock exams and updates whenever the BAZL or EASA adjust requirements. No hidden costs, no add-on modules you have to buy later.

“I studied with Aero.Academy alongside flight school. Meteorology and navigation in particular got much less stressful with the AI tutor – I could just keep asking until it clicked.” — Lena, PPL student, Birrfeld

“The mock exams match pretty closely what came up in the real exam. I was well prepared.” — Marco, newly licensed PPL, Grenchen

“Good value for money and available in English – not a given in this market.” — Tobias, flight instructor
