ECQB-PPL
What is the ECQB-PPL question bank?
ECQB stands for the European Central Question Bank – the central question pool for European pilot theory. The ECQB-PPL variant holds the questions for the private pilot licence and forms the basis of your theory exam across the nine subjects.
Around 75% of the questions are public; the remaining 25% are held back by the authorities and are usually small variations of the known questions.
How PilotExam uses the ECQB-PPL
PilotExam is an official Aircademy partner – Aircademy is the licence holder of the ECQB-PPL question bank. That means you practise with the current, licensed pool of questions rather than outdated collections, and we update the questions regularly to keep them current.
Practising with the ECQB-PPL
You answer questions in practice mode, read the explanation for every answer and review whatever has not stuck yet. Timed exam simulations let you test under real conditions whether you are exam-ready. Beyond PPL theory, PilotExam offers question banks for PPL-A, PPL-H, LAPL, SPL, GPL, BPL-Hot and BPL-Gas as well as the radio certificates BZF and AZF.
