Practice only the questions you got wrong. - Quick Reference: the numbers and limits that matter, on one screen. - System Notes: written deep-dives into each system. - Procedures: take-off and landing profiles with the manual's figures, plus the emergency procedures on the single-engine types. - Warning and caution lights trainer, and memory items straight from the checklist, for the types whose checklist has them. - Audio: study podcasts you can download and listen to offline; more types are added over time. - IFR and VFR rules (EASA) and small planning calculators. - Messages: tell us what can be improved and get replies from the RotorReady team inside the app. Everything is available offline once the app has been opened with a connection.
