The reality of PPL theory
The EASA PPL theory phase catches more student pilots off guard than almost anything else in training. Nine separate exams. A 75% pass mark required in every single one. No averaging across subjects: fail Air Law by one question and you resit the whole paper.
The problem isn't intelligence. It's preparation. Most students read textbooks, highlight notes, and hope for the best. Then they sit in the exam room and meet questions phrased in ways they've never seen before.
AeroPrep was built to change that. We put the actual exam experience in your hands, on your phone, in your browser, wherever you study, so that by the time you sit the real thing, nothing surprises you.
Reading and recalling are completely different cognitive skills. Our question-first approach trains you for the format of the actual exam, not just the content.
The EASA papers are tightly timed — 20 questions each, but some subjects allow 60 minutes (Navigation, Meteorology, Flight Performance & Planning) while others are 30-minute sittings. We use the official per-subject time limits so you build real exam-condition confidence.
You must pass all nine before you can proceed. Fail one and you're looking at a resit fee, a delay, and the frustration of going back to the books. Our intelligent tracking shows you exactly where your weak spots are before it matters.
The AeroPrep difference
Every subject and topic you need for EASA PPL theory: independently authored practice questions, reviewed and updated to track syllabus and regulatory changes. We mirror official exam structure (counts, timings, four-option format). We do not reproduce ECQB items.
180 questions. 360 minutes. Nine passes required. We prepare you for all of it.
Not a mobile website wrapped in an app shell. A genuinely native app, built for the way you actually study, on the bus, between lessons, or the night before your exam.
Offline-capable question sessions. Full exam simulation on your phone. Progress synced instantly across all your devices. Dark mode by default, because studying at midnight is part of the deal.
Available on the App Store and Google Play.
Know exactly where you stand in every subject, every session. AeroPrep tracks which questions you get wrong and surfaces them more often: a proven spaced-repetition approach that fixes weak spots faster than re-reading notes ever could.
Your study streak keeps you consistent. Your weak-topic breakdown tells you where to focus. Your exam history shows the trend. No guesswork about whether you're ready.
Full timed mock exams that mirror the exact EASA CBT format. Same question count. Same time limits. Same 75% pass mark. Every exam session is saved to your history so you can track improvement over time.
Right or wrong, you learn why. Detailed explanations after every answer mean you understand the reasoning, not just the correct letter. Bookmark questions you want to revisit. Flag any that seem outdated.
Get started in minutes
Sign up in under a minute. No flight school required, no verification process. Just your email address and you're in. Your progress is immediately tracked from your very first question.
Study a single subject you're sitting next week, or unlock all nine for a focused theory phase push. Each subject is self-contained, start wherever you are in your training.
Study mode for learning. Exam simulation mode for testing. Progress dashboard to know when you're genuinely ready. Most students who use AeroPrep consistently hit 85%+ on their first real sitting.
The pass mark is 75%. We think that's a floor, not a target.
All 9 EASA PPL subjects
The EASA PPL theory syllabus covers nine distinct disciplines, each examined separately. You need 75% in all nine. Here's what's inside each subject on AeroPrep:
The rules of the sky. Covers ICAO standards, EU aviation regulations, airspace classifications, flight rules (VFR/IFR), aerodrome procedures, and pilot licensing requirements. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. Often underestimated — the regulations are specific and the questions are precise.
How your aeroplane works. Airframe, engines, propellers, fuel systems, electrical systems, instrumentation, and avionics. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. Technical depth matters — every system can be examined.
The maths-heavy paper. Take-off and landing performance, climb gradients, range and endurance, weight and balance, fuel planning. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 60 minutes. Calculation fluency under time pressure is what separates a pass from a scramble.
You are part of the system. Physiology at altitude, hypoxia, spatial disorientation, vision limits, stress, fatigue, and CRM-style decision making. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. More conceptual than systems-heavy, but nuance traps the rushed candidate.
The weather. Pressure systems, fronts, visibility, cloud types, icing, thunderstorms, METAR and TAF interpretation. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 60 minutes. Among the longest sittings — and one of the most operationally relevant from day one of flying.
Finding your way. Charts, variation and deviation, track and heading, time-and-distance, VOR/NDB/GPS basics, and structured airspace. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 60 minutes. Allow time for plotting and arithmetic — procedural accuracy earns marks.
Real-world operations. Emergencies, SAR, reporting, noise, special cases, VFR discipline, and orderly procedures under pressure. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. Straightforward syllabus on paper — still demands systematic revision.
Why aeroplanes fly. Lift, drag, thrust, weight, stability, control surfaces, stalls, and spins. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. Intuitive for some; counterintuitive until the four-forces mental model sticks for others.
Talking on the radio. Approved phraseology, frequency discipline, SSR and transponder use, distress and urgency, and orderly handovers. Official paper: 20 exam questions in 30 minutes. Precision beats slang — radio errors fail attempts in real life and in exams.

What student pilots say
“I tried studying from textbooks for weeks and felt like nothing was sticking. After two weeks on AeroPrep I was consistently hitting 85%+ in mock exams. Passed Air Law and Met on my first sitting.”
“The native app is what sold me. I was studying during my commute, on my lunch break, everywhere. The exam simulation mode is incredibly close to the real CBT format; nothing surprised me on the day.”
“Navigation was the one I was dreading. The progress tracking showed me exactly which calculation types I kept getting wrong. Focused on those, passed with 88%. Couldn't have done it without AeroPrep.”
“We recommend AeroPrep to all our students now. The instructor dashboard saves us hours; we can see exactly who's ready before they book their formal exam sitting. No more students going in underprepared.”
Frequently asked questions
AeroPrep is an EASA PPL theory exam preparation platform built for student pilots in Europe. It provides access to a comprehensive question bank across all 9 PPL theory subjects, with realistic exam simulation, intelligent progress tracking, and native iOS and Android apps. It was built by NEXIEL LIMITED, an Irish technology company, to give student pilots a better, more accessible way to prepare for their ground exams.
AeroPrep is designed primarily for student pilots pursuing their EASA PPL(A), Private Pilot Licence for aeroplanes, under any EASA member state. It is equally useful for LAPL(A) students, as the LAPL syllabus is a subset of the full PPL curriculum. Student pilots at both independent flight schools (ATOs) and self-study routes will benefit. The platform is also used by flight schools and instructors to monitor student progress and assign practice exams.
No. AeroPrep is an independent preparation platform produced by NEXIEL LIMITED. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to EASA (the European Union Aviation Safety Agency) or any national aviation authority. Our questions are independently authored and reviewed, aligned with the published EASA PPL syllabus and the multiple-choice format used in authorised examination centres. We do not reproduce or distribute official European Central Question Bank (ECQB) items.
AeroPrep is available to anyone, anywhere in the world. The content is specifically aligned with the EASA PPL syllabus, making it most relevant for student pilots training in EASA member states: the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (which continues to accept EASA-aligned training under bilateral arrangements). Students training for FAA certificates may find some content useful but should use FAA-specific preparation tools for their written exams.
You can browse the platform and explore your dashboard without a paid plan. To access full question practice sessions and exam simulations, an active subject plan is required. We do not currently offer a timed free trial.
Several things set AeroPrep apart. First, we offer genuinely native iOS and Android apps, not a mobile browser wrapper, giving you a smooth, responsive study experience on your phone. Second, our progress tracking uses spaced repetition weighting, meaning questions you get wrong are served more frequently until you master them. Third, our pricing is straightforward and transparent: one-time access fees with no recurring subscription traps. Fourth, our school integration lets instructors monitor student progress and assign progress tests.
