Learn PPL(H) theory without grinding through 2,000 flashcards

You're getting your PPL(H) in Switzerland – the private helicopter licence to EASA standard, examined by the BAZL. You fly on weekends, work during the week and simply don't have time to fight your way through dry scripts evening after evening.

That's exactly what Aero.Academy is built for. The platform covers all nine theory subjects of the PPL(H) exam: air law, aircraft general knowledge, flight performance & planning, human performance, meteorology, navigation, operational procedures, aerodynamics (helicopter-specific) and communication.

You learn wherever you are – on the tram, in your lunch break, the evening before your next flight lesson. No login theatre, no 90-minute module you have to sit through in one go.

1. Placement. You start with a short diagnostic test per subject. The platform looks at what you already know – and what you don't. If you're a mechanic, you skip the basics on engines. If meteorology is your weak spot, you get more of it.

2. Learn at your own pace. You get short learning units (5–15 minutes), followed by questions in the style of the BAZL exam. Wrong answers are explained – not just “the answer would have been C”, but why.

3. Exam simulation. Once a subject is solid, you take mock exams under real conditions: time limit, question pool, pass mark. You walk into the real BAZL exam without wondering whether you're ready.

“AI” as a word is worn out by now. Here's concretely what it does on Aero.Academy:

• Adaptive repetition. Questions you answer wrong come back sooner. Questions you've mastered, less often. That saves you hours compared to a fixed study plan.
• Explanations on demand. Don't understand why translational lift kicks in at 16–24 knots? You just ask. The answer is tailored to your level, not copied from a textbook.
• Weak-spot analysis. Before every mock exam you see which subtopics are still wobbly. No gut-feeling preparation.

What the AI does not do: it doesn't replace your flight instructor, and it doesn't fly the Robinson for you. It takes the rote memorisation off your plate so your head is clear in the cockpit.

We keep it simple:

• Free access: the first two subjects in full, including mock exams. You see whether the platform works for you before you pay.
• Full PPL(H) access: a one-time payment for the complete theory up to the BAZL exam. No monthly subscription that keeps running when you're not studying.
• Extension: if you need longer (weather, job, life) – access is valid for 24 months from purchase.

You'll find concrete prices on the pricing page. We update them regularly, which is why they're not listed here.

“I'd already postponed the theory course at my flight school twice because I just couldn't sit still in the evenings anymore. With Aero.Academy I got through all nine subjects in ten weeks – on the side.” – M., PPL(H) candidate, Zurich region

“The explanations on aerodynamics are better than in any book I bought. I finally understand retreating blade stall instead of just knowing it by heart.” – S., PPL(H) candidate, Bern region

We're currently collecting more testimonials – if you're on board and have feedback, we're glad to hear it. We prefer honest criticism to stars.

You don't need a credit card to start. Sign up, take the first diagnostic test, see if it fits.
