In Instrumentation, understanding pays off more than memorising. Once you see how a pitot-static error develops or why a gyro drifts, most questions answer themselves. This guide builds up each instrument from its sensor: air data, magnetism, gyroscopes, IRS, autopilot and autothrust, FMS, TCAS and GPWS, electronic displays and recorders.
- Pitot-static errors and blockages, diagrammed
- Gyro drift, compass turning and acceleration errors, visualised
- AFCS modes, autothrust and envelope protection step by step
- TCAS, (E)GPWS and alerting logic with the exact crew response

Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I get?
A high-resolution PDF per subject, delivered by email right after payment. Read it on your laptop, tablet or phone, annotate it, or print the pages you need.
Is this a question bank?
No. The guides are structured reference material. They give you the knowledge you need before and while you work through a question bank. They follow the official EASA Learning Objectives chapter by chapter, so you always know where a question comes from.
Which syllabus do the guides follow?
The current EASA ATPL(A) theoretical knowledge syllabus. Each chapter is tagged with the Learning Objectives it covers.
Do I get updates?
Yes. When a guide is corrected or revised, you can download the new edition free of charge.
Why is my name on the PDF?
Every copy is personalised with the buyer's details in the footer. It keeps the guides from being passed around, which is what lets us keep the prices this low.
