Mission Statement

 

I'm an airline pilot. A few years ago, staring at a stack of manuals that made no sense, I asked myself a simple question: why does studying for a type rating have to feel like decoding a foreign language?

That question became Airline Pilot Study Notes. Not a textbook publisher. Not a training academy. Just study notes — built by a pilot, for pilots — that take the manuals nobody enjoys reading and turn them into something you can actually learn from.

Every set of notes covers real aircraft systems, real procedures, real questions — organized the way your brain actually retains information, not the way a manufacturer organized its manuals. A320, A330, A350, B737, B777. Hundreds of pilots have used them to walk into a sim check, a type rating, or a recurrent with one less thing to worry about.

Here's what I believe: a pilot who understands the aircraft — not just memorizes it — is a safer pilot. That's not a slogan. It's the whole reason this exists.

If you're studying for your next type rating, or just tired of manuals that don't teach, take a look around. I built this because I needed it myself — I think you will too.
