Padpilot is the leading publisher of digital aviation training materials and has sold more than 150,000 books since launching their industry changing manuals in 2011. We use the very latest developments from Apple and Adobe to create and deliver stunning mobile learning solutions for tomorrow’s pilots; transforming aviation theoretical knowledge acquisition into a contextual learning experience which promotes deep understanding and, consequently, improved operating skills on the flightdeck. The digital platform is flexible and interactive; trainee pilots can highlight, search and make notes as they study, whilst the ability to layer graphics with text and animate diagrams and pictures that show as well as tell, brings aviation theory to life. But it’s not only the digital learning platform that is innovative. Padpilot’s team of subject matter experts are guided by the EASA learning objectives, but not limited by them; course content is created based on what the student needs to know for the exams, but also the context they need in order to become highly competent, highly sought-after airline pilots. In-depth analysis and consultation with airlines is undertaken regularly to identify and update core knowledge and skills requirements. Schools using Padpilot materials achieve average pass rates as high as 95% – without resorting to exam cramming and question database memorisation. Padpilot regularly partner with aviation industry companies to create bespoke interactive training material for use in-house. Padpilot’s iBooks are compatible with iMac, iPad and iPhone devices and can be downloaded from the Apple iBookstore store.
