## What is PPL Prep?

Practise for the Canadian private pilot licence (aeroplane) written exam, PPAER, with 678 original questions and timed 100-question mock exams across Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology and General Knowledge. Free to try, offline, no account: 50 practice answers, one full mock exam and the whole Library, then Full Access, a one-time purchase, unlocks the rest. Scored against the real rule: 60% overall and 60% in each area.

A new VFR nav log every session
Every session plans a brand-new VFR cross-country between real Canadian aerodromes — three legs, winds aloft, variation, true airspeed, fuel flow and a compass deviation card — and asks the questions computed from that log: magnetic heading, groundspeed, time en route, ETA, minimum fuel, compass heading and endurance.

The PPAER question bank
Every question draws on public sources: the Canadian Aviation Regulations, the aeronautical information manual and the study and reference guide, with a full explanation and a source reference.

A full PPAER paper, timed
100 questions sampled to the exam's four-area blueprint, a 3-hour countdown, flagging, a question palette, and no feedback until you submit — exactly like exam day. Results are scored by area: pass, partial pass with the areas to rewrite named, or fail. Your first full mock is free; more mocks and the four supplementary papers (Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology, General Knowledge) need Full Access.

Load, balance and weather drills
A weight-and-balance trainer generates a loaded four-seat trainer and asks for take-off weight, centre of gravity, whether it is inside the envelope, the landing CG and the weight-shift fix. A weather trainer generates coherent METAR and TAF pairs and asks you to decode them and decide whether the flight is VFR, special VFR or neither.

Drawn weather charts and CG graphs
Read a freshly drawn graphical area forecast, surface analysis and prognostic chart the way the exam asks: cloud, icing, fronts and VFR conditions along a route. Loading sheets draw the CG envelope with your load plotted on it, and every PPAER mock carries a chart block.

Flight-computer drills, worked
Density altitude, TAS, time-speed-distance, fuel, time zone, 1-in-60, crosswind, stall-speed and glide problems, each worked.

Flag it, redo it, find it
Flag a question and return to it from the Practice tab. At the end of a session, redo just the ones you missed. The Exam tab charts your mock scores against the 60% line, and the Library searches by reference: type 602.114 and see the notes and questions that cite it.

Review that brings back your misses
Every answer is tracked. Missed questions come back on a spaced schedule until they stick, and the dashboard estimates your readiness against the pass mark by area and by topic, so the next study session chooses itself.

The numbers to memorize
One card per topic with the memorization core: VFR minima, fuel reserves, cruising altitudes, transponder codes, medical validity, ELT rules, METAR and TAF groups, V-speeds — each with its reference.

Try it free, unlock it once
Free: 50 practice answers in any mode, one full 100-question PPAER mock and the whole Library. Full Access is one in-app purchase for unlimited practice and mocks, the four supplementary papers and every trainer. One-time, no subscription, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. If you downloaded PPL Prep before 1.3.0, everything stays free for you.

Offline, on iPhone, iPad and Mac
For iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 or later, laid out for the iPad, plus a Mac version. Studying works offline, and your progress follows you between your devices through your own iCloud account. No account to create, no advertising, no analytics and no data collection: the developer never sees your progress.

Questions reviewed by a Class 3 flight instructor. Independent study aid — not affiliated with or endorsed by any regulator, and not a substitute for the current regulations and publications, which always take precedence.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.5 — 2026-11-09

Flag it, redo it, find it
Flag any practice question and it waits in a Flagged questions row on the Practice tab. When a session ends, "Redo the ones you missed" runs just those questions again. The Exam tab now charts your mock scores over time, overall and by area, against the 60% line. And the Library has a search box: type a CAR or AIM reference such as 602.114 and see the study notes and every question that cites it.

The app's name in the store is now PPL Prep: Private Pilot Canada.

Everything from 1.3.4 is still here, and your progress and Full Access carry over untouched.

### 1.3.4 — 2026-11-07

Sit your supplementary paper straight from a partial pass
Passed overall but fell short in one area? The mock result now has a "Sit PAMET" button (or PALAW, PANAV, PAGEN) that opens that paper at once, and the areas are listed in exam order: Law, Navigation, Meteorology, General Knowledge.

Also new: the nav-log route on Home is drawn like a small chart, with a north arrow, a scale bar and each leg's track and distance. The GFA viewer's zoom buttons now sit in a capsule at the bottom, so they no longer cover place names, and names no longer run off the edge of the chart. On iPad the title moves together with its line above it. A new install starts with "Start with Air Law", and every explanation has a "Report a mistake in this question" link that emails the question's number to the author.

Everything from 1.3.3 is still here, and your progress and Full Access carry over untouched.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-11-05

A QUICK WAY TO RATE PPL PREP
The Library's About section now has a "Rate PPL Prep on the App Store" link. The app may also ask for a rating once, after a passed mock, a good practice session or when you have settled in. Apple limits the prompt to a few times a year, and Not Now is always fine.

Everything from 1.3.2 is still here: the nav-log Home, drawn weather charts and CG graphs, METAR & TAF and loading-sheet drills, the 100-question PPAER mock against the 60% pass mark, and the free sample with a one-time Full Access unlock. Your progress and Full Access carry over untouched, on every device that shares your iCloud.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-10-31

QUESTION CONTENT NOW PACKAGED IN A PROTECTED FORMAT
The PPAER question bank, study notes and topic lists are now stored in a protected format inside the app. Nothing changes in how you study: your progress, history and Full Access carry over untouched, on every device that shares your iCloud.

Everything from 1.3.1 is still here: the nav-log Home, drawn weather charts and CG graphs, METAR & TAF and loading-sheet drills, the 100-question PPAER mock against the 60% pass mark, and the free sample with a one-time Full Access unlock.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-24

HOME OPENS ON A NEW NAV LOG
Open the app and your next cross-country is already planned: a fresh VFR route between real Canadian aerodromes, with its wind, true airspeed and distance, one tap from "Fly this log". METAR & TAF and the loading sheet are one tap away beneath it, and your readiness against the 60% pass mark is a single compact row.

DRAWN WEATHER CHARTS AND CG GRAPHS
Practice has a new Weather Charts trainer: a freshly drawn graphical area forecast, surface analysis and prognostic chart each time, with questions on cloud, icing, fronts and VFR conditions, in a zoomable sheet with a legend. The loading sheet trainer now draws its CG envelope with your load plotted on it, and every PPAER and PAMET mock carries a block of chart questions.

UP TO DATE WITH TC AIM 2026-2
Pacific time is now UTC−7 throughout, as the new edition's time-zone table gives it, in the questions, the Library and the time-zone drills. The whiteout and flat-light question and the CRFI crosswind-limit figure number follow the new wording, and a fog explanation no longer quotes a wind figure the AIM dropped.

OPEN ON TWO DEVICES, STAY IN STEP
With iCloud sync on, a device you have open now picks up answers from your other devices within seconds, without closing and reopening the app.

A few smaller fixes: a device that was offline before the paywall date can no longer lose its free access when a second device syncs.
