PILOT LICENCE NOTES
The ATPL Notes are made from classes, ATPL books, and examination
questions. I personally used my own knowledges to set up each subject. With
these notes, you will directly learn what you need to know for the
examinations. You can find photos, diagrams, mnemonics to help you as much
as possible. The notes are from the 2016 & 2020 EASA syllabus.
