  • ATPL – Operational Procedures

    As I’ve already mentioned, I enrolled into the online EASA ATPL theory course from a Polish flight school (Ventum Air). The course duration is 4 months, and the schedule is very tough since I have to learn 14 subjects. I have some prior knowledge – not sure whether it is even possible without it. After…

  • EASA ATPL Theory

    The blog is still alive, and the dream is coming true somehow. I haven’t flown more than 2 months, but I subscribed for a theory course in a Polish flight school. It is an online ATPL course with 2 weeks on-site. So, why Poland? The country is close to Russia, and the price is not…

  • AviationExam discount: How to Save 50$

    In my previous posts I already mentioned AviationExam, the great question bank for EASA exams. It is surprisingly good for FAA exams too: despite of the fact that almost nobody in the US heard about it, from my opinion it is the best tool after Sheppard Air. I passed my FAA IR and FAA CPL…

  • AviationExam and BGS Online

    My EASA ATPL written test preparation moves on very slowly. But I don care, because during this time I completed my FAA IR, and now I am working on my FAA CPL. Nevertheless, I am still interested in EASA ATPL, and I’d like to continue studying. So, my yearly BGS Online subscription will expire soon,…

  • Conquering the FAA CPL Written Exam

    Today marks the accomplishment of passing my CPL written exam. It was relatively easy since I was well-prepared. Initially considering Sheppard Air as the best option, I found it too expensive, and eventually chose ASA Prepware, Gleim, and AviationExam due to their cost-effectiveness and one-month subscription option. In my assessment, AviationExam stands out, yet during…

  • Choosing the Right FAA CPL Written Test Prep

    I’m in doubt: I feel that, in general, I am ready for the FAA CPL written test. I have gone through the official FAA materials, but I’d like to use a question bank for evaluation. When it comes to EASA subjects, it is pretty easy as there are only two providers: bgsonline and aviationexam, both…

  • Taking Small Steps Towards the Dream: Studying Principles of Flight

    When you have a goal, it’s better to take small steps towards it regularly, ideally every day. As you may already know, my goal is to become a pilot. Currently, I have a private pilot license, but I don’t have the opportunity to fly due to my day job, but I am using my free…

  • FAA IR(A) Written Test

    What can you do when the weather is bad? Of course, the best choice is to study! Feeling confident about my knowledge, I decided to take a written test for my FAA IR certification. The exam itself wasn’t too difficult. The program interface looked exactly like Gleim’s software, and the pictures were the same as…

  • Chasing My Aviation Dreams: Pursuing an Instrument Rating in the US

    It has been a long time since my previous post, but that’s because almost nothing was happening. I have been studying a lot, and it’s really hard to remember all this stuff. I have decided to obtain an Instrument Rating in the US as well. Whenever I had some free time, I was looking for…
