Pilot Casebook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pilot Casebook macht reale Flugvorfälle verständlich, zugänglich und praxisnah nutzbar. Die App enthält über 1000 aufbereitete Unfall- und Vorfallberichte aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz – speziell für General Aviation, PPL-Schüler und Privatpiloten. Offizielle Untersuchungsberichte sind oft lang, technisch formuliert und schwer in den Lernalltag integrierbar. Pilot Casebook verwandelt diese Fälle in strukturierte, verständliche Fallstudien mit Fokus auf Entscheidungsfindung, Situational Awareness und Human Factors. ENTHALTEN: • 1000+ Reale Vorfälle aus der DACH-Region • Kartenansicht aller Fälle • Filter nach Wetter, Terrain, Technik, Start/Landung u.v.m. • Verständliche Zusammenfassungen & Learnings • Interaktive Missionen und Entscheidungsszenarien • Fokus auf VFR & General Aviation • Für PPL-Schüler, Privatpiloten und Fluglehrer Pilot Casebook ist kein klassischer Fragenkatalog zur Theorieprüfung. Die App ergänzt die fliegerische Ausbildung durch praxisnahe Fälle und hilft dabei, Risiken besser zu erkennen und sicherere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Aus realen Vorfällen lernt man oft mehr als aus reiner Theorie.
