Air Law
ICAO annexes, airspace and rules of the air, licensing, and the operator regulation you are expected to quote rather than reason about.
ATPL by subject
Every ATPL subject is sold on its own, at its own price, with its own page count. Take the two you sit in April, reinforce the one you failed, or build the whole thing subject by subject.
Every subject
Every ATPL subject exists on its own, at its own price, with its own page count. Take the two you are sitting in April, or take the pack and stop thinking about it.
ICAO annexes, airspace and rules of the air, licensing, and the operator regulation you are expected to quote rather than reason about.
Airframe, systems, powerplant and electrics — the largest subject in the syllabus, and the one that rewards structure most.
Pitot-static and gyroscopic instruments, EFIS colour logic, autoflight modes and the warning systems behind them.
Loading limits, centre of gravity, moments and index units — short, arithmetic, and entirely about not dropping a decimal.
Take-off, climb, cruise and landing performance across aeroplane classes, and the graph-reading the exam is really testing.
Fuel policy, route and chart work, ATS flight plans, and in-flight monitoring against the plan you filed.
Physiology, perception and illusions, stress and fatigue, and the crew decision-making models named in the exam.
Atmosphere and pressure systems, cloud, icing and thunderstorms, plus reading METAR and TAF without hesitation.
The Earth, charts and projections, dead reckoning and time — the arithmetic that underpins every navigation question.
VOR, NDB, DME, ILS, radar and RNAV/GNSS: how each aid works, what it cannot do, and how each one fails.
Threat and error management, dangerous goods, low-visibility operations and the emergency procedures that follow.
Lift and drag, stability and control, high-speed flight and the edges of the flight envelope — heavily diagrammed.
VFR and IFR radiotelephony, standard phraseology and communication-failure procedures. The thirteenth subject is being written now.
Buying, access and support
Digital products live or die on the small print. Here is all of it, before you pay rather than after.
Everything is digital. Your files are available as soon as the payment goes through — nothing is shipped and nothing is waited for.
Checkout runs on Shopify. Card details never touch this site and are never seen by Pilote Autrement. Your email is used for your order and your updates — nothing else.
Corrections, rewrites and new material go to everyone who owns the pack, at no extra cost. There is no subscription and no renewal.
Standard PDFs. Read them on an iPad, a laptop or a phone, annotate them, print them. They work offline and they do not expire.
No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who says otherwise. Under EASA rules an approved training organisation is what enters you for the theoretical examinations — your ATO course is a regulatory step, not a study preference.
These notes are what you revise from once you are enrolled. They sit alongside your course, they do not replace it.
No. This is not a question bank, and it deliberately is not one. The official questions come from the European Central Question Bank, which is not public, and drilling remembered questions is exactly the habit that fails when the wording changes.
What the notes do include is the reasoning each question is built on, plus Exam Tips boxes that name the distinctions and traps a topic is usually tested through. Use them with whatever question bank your school gives you.
Partly, and it depends on the subject. Aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, instrumentation and human performance are physics and physiology — they do not change with the authority, and students training under other regulators use these notes for exactly those subjects.
Air Law and Operational Procedures are the opposite: they are written against European regulation and will not match another authority's rules. Buy accordingly.
Because it is not written yet. Twelve of the thirteen ATPL(A) subjects are finished; 090 Communications is still being put together, and shipping a thin version of it to round the number up to thirteen would be dishonest.
When it is ready it goes into the pack, and everyone who already bought the pack receives it free.
If you have not downloaded the files yet, yes — email your order number and you will be refunded in full.
Once the files have been downloaded the order is final. That is the standard position for digital content under French consumer law: by buying, you agree to immediate delivery and waive the withdrawal period at the moment access begins.
If something is technically broken — a link that fails, a file that will not open — that is not a refund question. Write in and access gets restored or the files resent, free. Read the full refund policy.
If you are sitting one or two subjects this session and want to see the style first, buy those subjects. Nothing is lost — the pack simply costs more than the sum of what you already own.
If you are doing the full ATPL, the pack is €69,90 against €168,80 subject by subject, so it pays for itself at roughly the fifth subject.
