Be ready for your next checkride, interview, type rating course, revalidation, multi-crew coordination course, ATP/ATP license, or transition training with AirCards! AirCards are a series of aircraft system and procedure reviews covering most Boeing and Airbus airliners, business and corporate jets, turboprops, and other advanced aircraft. The AirCards interface is fast and customizable - allowing you to maximize your study efficiency. Each AirCards title has been written by professional pilots and instructors. With AirCards, you can study and review wherever you happen to be. AirCards is NOT A GAME: it is a serious study tool for professional pilots. However, as a general rule, please use it as a study and review aid only. For operational purposes, always refer to the latest version of your aircraft’s flight manual and your company’s operational specifications. The version of AirCards which you can download here FREE includes access to five percent of the total content for each aircraft. This allows you to get a general feel for what is provided; for many aircraft, AirCards data comes as flashcards. For some others, AirCards quizzes you in a multiple-choice format. If you decide that you like how AirCards works for your particular aircraft, getting access to the bulk of the content for that aircraft is available quickly and inexpensively via in-App purchase. Once you’ve purchased an AirCards aircraft set, you can enjoy uninterrupted study plus free lifetime updates so that if and when content is updated (based on user feedback or operational changes), you can get the latest and greatest at no additional charge. Additionally, there is a built-in feedback mechanism to allow you to alert our authors in case you find something that differs in your experience.
