Look before you buy

Three pages, exactly as they ship

Nothing staged: these are pages from the product, exported from the PDF. A dark ground for reading at night, a text column measured at sixty-five characters, data tables at full width.

A page from 010 Air Law
010 Air Law — part opening: the title, the essentials, then the detail
A page from 062 Radio Navigation
062 Radio Navigation — the three propagation paths, table and diagram
A page from 031 Mass and Balance
031 Mass & Balance — aft CG: consequences, in colour-coded boxes

concept    remember this    exam trap  — the same colour logic across all thirteen subjects.

What you get, exactly

Twenty-six documents, and nothing else to work out

No subscription, no member area, no expiry. You pay once, you download, the files are yours.

Coverage

Thirteen subjects — the whole syllabus

010 Air Law through 090 Communications, with nothing missing. Each subject follows the official Learning Objective numbering, so it maps onto your ATO course.

Languages

English, and French included

Two separate writings, not a machine translation. If you train in French and sit in English, you have both at no extra cost.

Formats

A4 PDF and screen edition

The PDF to print and annotate. The screen edition to read straight through on a laptop or tablet, with a sidebar that follows you.

Maintenance

Updates for life

Regulation moves. Every correction reaches everyone who owns the subject, free, with no time limit and no subscription.

Traceability

A named copy

Each file is produced in your name. That is what makes this price possible rather than the price of a document that circulates.

Verification

Sources, with dates

Every subject ends with the texts consulted and the date they were checked. You know how current what you are reading actually is.

The detail

Thirteen subjects, page by page

Every subject comes in both languages at the same price. A dense subject is not a wordy subject: it is one that does not skip the hard parts.

All thirteen ATPL(A) subjects are written, 090 Communications included. There is no "coming soon" in this pack.

How this is made

Written from the texts, not from other summaries

The starting point

The EASA Learning Objectives

Every subject is structured block by block on the official syllabus. Nothing is invented as a plan: what you revise matches what you are examined on.

Verification

Primary sources, and they are cited

ICAO Annexes, EU regulations on EUR-Lex, certification specifications. Where two sources disagree the regulation wins — and the disagreement is flagged.

Corrections

A whole appendix for what was wrong

Each subject lists the points where common material is still out of date: the CAT IIIA categories deleted in 2021, the recast fuel scheme, standard masses copied across wrongly. You do not memorise an error.

The date

You know how current it is

Every subject carries its verification date in Appendix E. Regulatory revision material without a date cannot be judged.

A living document

These notes are never finished

Regulatory revision material that stops moving is material that goes stale. This one changes through two channels, and both benefit everyone.

First channel

The rotatestudy team's watch

The team tracks changes to the syllabus and to the texts: new EASA requirements, revised Learning Objectives, amended regulations. When a point changes, the subject is rewritten, its verification date is updated, and the new version goes out to everyone who owns it.

Second channel

Feedback from students

Found an error, an unclear passage, a figure that does not match what your course says? Report it. Every report is checked against the original source; where it is well founded the correction is made and sent back to every owner of that subject, free of charge.

Why this is stated here

Because it is the only honest way to sell a regulatory document. Nobody can guarantee that material is perfect on the day it ships — what can be guaranteed is that a reported error gets corrected, dated, and sent back to everyone. The students using these notes are their best reviewers: they test them against their course, their question bank and their actual sittings.

Something to report, or a question on a subject? Write in — the answer comes from whoever wrote the page.

Two formats, one purchase

The PDF for the desk, the screen edition for the sofa

Format 1

A4 PDF

A dark ground for reading at night without strain, bookmarks by part, contents on one page, every major part starting on a fresh page. Prints and annotates.

Format 2

Screen edition

An HTML file that opens with a double click, offline. A sidebar that follows your reading, a column measured for the eye, tables that scroll on mobile. The same content, laid out for a screen.

Pricing

One subject, or all thirteen

Both languages are always included. You do not pay twice for the same content because you want to revise in the language of the exam.

Said before you pay, not after

What these notes are not

Not

A replacement for your ATO

Your approved training organisation is what enters you for the theoretical examinations. No PDF changes that, and be suspicious of anyone who says otherwise.

Not

A question bank

The ECQB questions are not public. What you will find here is the reasoning each question is built on, and the traps they are written around.

Careful

Two subjects are European

Air Law and Operational Procedures are written against EU regulation. Under another authority, check those two against your own rules. The rest is physics, and physics has no nationality.

Questions

What people ask before buying

I am not training under EASA. Is this still useful?

For most of it, yes. Aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, instrumentation, human performance and communications are physics, physiology and ICAO procedure — they do not change with the authority. Air Law and Operational Procedures are the exception: they are written against European regulation and will not match another regulator's rules.

Why is the French edition included?

Because it costs you nothing and it is written anyway. If you train in French and sit in English, having both removes the vocabulary gap that quietly loses marks. If French is no use to you, ignore those files.

How is this different from a summary found online?

By the sources. Every subject cites the texts consulted and carries a verification date, and a whole appendix lists the points where common material is still wrong. A summary that does not say where it comes from cannot be checked.

What exactly do I receive after paying?

An immediate download link. For each subject: the A4 PDF and the screen edition, in English and in French. The files carry your name, work offline and do not expire.

Why does my name appear on the document?

Because each copy is produced to order and tied to its purchase. That is what keeps the price where it is. Nothing is collected without your knowledge and the file talks to no server: the marking is visible, and that is all it is.

Are the updates really free?

Yes, with no time limit and no subscription. Regulation moves — Regulation 2021/2237 deleted the CAT IIIA, IIIB and IIIC categories, 2021/1296 recast fuel planning — and out-of-date notes are worth nothing.

Can I buy a single subject?

Yes. If you are sitting two subjects this session, take those two. The pack starts to pay for itself at around the fifth.
