Built for pilots who think beyond borders.
An independent EASA theory school with roots at Cranfield Airport since 2000, and based in Dortmund since 2010.
Theory is all we do
We teach EASA theoretical knowledge, and we write, print and run everything it takes ourselves: the study material, the books, the question bank, the learning platform and the instructor-led teaching. Nothing is assembled from unrelated suppliers.
You're not tied to a Cranfield-owned practical school, and no journey to Dortmund is normally needed. In our own words: we look for the shortest legitimate route, not the longest invoice.
Ahead of the market
We were the first school in Germany to offer the complete ATPL(H)/IR theoretical knowledge course, and the first German theory school to introduce CB-IR theory.
Who trusts us
The German Federal Police has outsourced instrument theory to us over multiple years. We train for the Flight Police of the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, and ADAC has repeatedly used us for IR theory in the helicopter sector.
Exams
Our students sit their exams with the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, Austro Control, the French authority and other EASA authorities.
