Frequently Asked Questions

ATPLSTUDY is a free online platform offering practice questions for ATPL pilot theory exams across all 14 subjects. We also have a 100 KSA section focused on competency-based training, a Formulas & Quick Reference tool, and a growing library of Study Guides & Articles covering key ATPL topics in depth.

The site requires no registration, has no paywalls, and is maintained by aviation enthusiasts who want to help fellow pilots prepare effectively.

No. ATPLSTUDY is not affiliated with EASA, FAA, ICAO, or any aviation authority. We are a free supplementary resource — always rely on your training organisation's approved materials as your primary study source. Use us to reinforce and test your understanding, not as a replacement for official study.

Yes — completely free. No registration, no credit cards, no hidden paywalls. It will always remain free. We're driven by a genuine desire to help pilots, not to monetise their exam stress.

Our questions are created by aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and instructors based on publicly available syllabi and reference materials. We do not reproduce official exam questions from any aviation authority.

We strive for accuracy and review content regularly. If you find an error in a question or explanation, please contact us — we genuinely appreciate corrections and act on them quickly. Always verify critical regulatory or technical information with official sources.

100 KSA stands for Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes. It is a competency-based training area introduced by EASA as part of the Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) framework. Rather than pure written exam knowledge, 100 KSA focuses on the practical competencies pilots need in real operations — things like communication, problem-solving, decision-making, threat and error management (TEM), and crew resource management (CRM).

Unlike traditional ATPL subjects which are tested by written exams, 100 KSA competencies are assessed by training organisations through scenarios, group exercises, and practical demonstrations. Our 100 KSA section is actively being developed.

The Articles section is a collection of pieces written by aviation enthusiasts on topics related to flying, pilot training, and the aviation world in general. New articles are added regularly — check back often or bookmark the page.

We add new questions and articles regularly. Check back often — bookmarking the site is the easiest way to keep up with new content.

No registration is required. Just select a subject and start practising. Your test scores are saved locally in your browser — no data is sent to our servers.

Yes — the site is fully responsive and works well on phones, tablets, and computers. Practising on your phone during commutes or breaks is a great way to fit study into a busy schedule.

The most effective approach is to combine the practice questions with the Study Guides. Read an article or your official textbook to build understanding, then use the question bank to test yourself on that topic. When you get a question wrong, read the explanation carefully — understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than just memorising it.

Your training organisation and instructors remain your primary guide. Use ATPLSTUDY to reinforce, test, and consolidate what you have already studied.

Yes. On each subject page you can enter a specific number of questions before starting — useful for a quick 10-question warm-up or a full mock exam session. Leave the field blank to attempt all available questions for that subject. Questions are shuffled each session.

Please contact us — we take accuracy seriously and will investigate and correct any errors promptly. You can reach us via the contact section on the homepage. Include the subject, the question text, and what you believe is incorrect or missing.
