About AeroPrep

We Built What We Wanted to Exist.

The EASA PPL theory exams are a legitimate challenge. Nine subjects. 75% pass mark in each, individually. Regulatory time limits. Questions drawn from a European-wide regulatory framework and phrased with the deliberate precision of aviation law.

When we looked at the tools available to prepare for them, we found a market largely stuck in 2015. Websites that hadn't been updated in years. Mobile apps that were browser wrappers with a different icon. Pricing structures that locked students into subscriptions for products that didn't justify them.

So we built AeroPrep, and built it the way we build everything: native mobile apps, clean architecture, a learning experience that respects the student's time, and pricing that doesn't penalise people for wanting to fly.

Our Mission

To give every student pilot in Europe access to the best possible theory exam preparation, regardless of which flight school they attend, which country they're training in, or what their budget is.

The theory phase should not be the barrier that ends someone's flying journey. It should be a manageable, well-supported part of the process. AeroPrep exists to make it that.

How We Think About Building AeroPrep

Question-first, not content-first. Textbooks teach knowledge. Exams test recall under specific conditions with specific phrasing. AeroPrep trains you for the actual exam: the format, the pressure, the wording. We are not a digital textbook. We are a practice environment.

Mobile is not optional. The majority of study time happens in transit, between lessons, in waiting rooms, and at night. A desktop-first study tool is a tool built for a world that doesn't exist anymore. Both our iOS and Android apps are genuinely native, built in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose respectively, because anything less would compromise the experience.

Data should help, not overwhelm. We track everything worth tracking: your scores, your weak topics, your study streak, your exam history, your improvement over time. But we surface only what's actionable. A progress dashboard that requires a PhD to interpret is not a progress dashboard, it's anxiety in chart form.

Schools are partners, not an afterthought. Flight instructors know their students better than any algorithm. Our school integration is designed to give instructors the data they need to make better teaching decisions, not to replace their judgement. The sign-off workflow exists because a good instructor's final approval matters more than any practice score.

Where AeroPrep Is Going

Now: EASA PPL (all 9 subjects). The full Private Pilot Licence theory preparation platform (practice questions, exam simulation, progress tracking, mobile apps, and school integration) is live.

Next: School portal expansion. We are continuing to develop the school integration feature set: richer cohort analytics, more flexible exam assignment tools, and tighter integration with ATO administrative workflows.

Future: EASA ATPL (13 subjects). The platform is architected from the ground up to expand to the ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence) theory syllabus, all 13 subjects. The practice mechanics, exam simulation, and pricing infrastructure are similar in shape. It is a matter of populating the additional subjects and creating new pricing plans. We will notify all existing PPL users when ATPL preparation launches.

Future: Airline selection assessment preparation. Many ATPL programmes and airline cadet schemes use standardised aptitude assessments for selection, including AON's CUT-E suite. These test cognitive abilities including attention, multi-tasking, numerical reasoning, and spatial orientation. We intend to build a dedicated preparation module for these assessments.

What We Stand For

Accuracy above all. Aviation is a precision discipline. Our content is carefully reviewed and updated. When a student flags a question they believe is incorrect, we investigate within 48 hours. We would rather remove an ambiguous question than leave a student with a misleading answer.

Respect for the student's time. We don't pad the platform with features that exist to justify the price. Everything in AeroPrep serves a specific purpose in helping you pass your exams. If a feature doesn't serve that goal, it doesn't exist.

Privacy by default. We collect the data we need to run the platform and no more. We do not sell user data. We do not run third-party advertising. Your study habits and exam scores are yours.

Transparency in pricing. Our pricing page shows the full price. No hidden fees, no automatic renewal surprises, no freemium bait-and-switch. Every plan is a one-time purchase for a fixed access period, and we say so clearly.

Built in Europe, for Europe. Our platform is built and hosted in the EU, complies with GDPR, and charges EU VAT where applicable. We are an Irish company building a product for a European regulatory framework, and we take that responsibility seriously.

AeroPrep is an independent exam preparation platform. It is not affiliated with, approved by, or endorsed by EASA (the European Union Aviation Safety Agency), any national aviation authority, or any approved training organisation (ATO). The EASA PPL syllabus and examination standards are set by EASA and national authorities. AeroPrep content is independently produced and aligned with publicly available syllabus documentation. Passing scores on AeroPrep practice exams do not guarantee passing the formal EASA CBT examination.
