Professional Pilot CPD Hub
Refreshers on the things you are examined on annually and then rarely think about again — written for line pilots, not for exams. This hub is being built now.

The modules below are what we are building. Nothing here is a substitute for your operator's own training, your OM-A or current regulation — it is refresher material, written to be read on a layover rather than in a classroom.
What's being built
Aimed at licensed commercial pilots, from first officers through to trainers — and at anyone returning to the flight deck after time away.
Dangerous Goods
Categories and awareness, what may travel in the cabin versus the hold, hidden dangerous goods, lithium battery rules, and what actually happens when something is discovered on board.
Mass & Balance
Standard versus actual passenger masses, index units, last-minute changes, and why a loadsheet that balances can still leave you outside the envelope in flight.
Performance
Contaminated runway calculations, assumed temperature thrust reduction, obstacle clearance and net flight path, and the decisions that follow an engine failure at V1.
Low Visibility Operations
CAT II and III requirements, LVP activation, alert height and decision height, safeguarded areas, and the failure cases that force a go-around.
Winter Operations
De-icing and anti-icing fluids, holdover times and how quickly they expire, the clean aircraft concept, and braking action reporting.
Read now: Winter ReadinessPBN & RNAV Refresher
Navigation specifications in plain terms, RNP approaches, RAIM and predictive availability, and what to do when the box says UNABLE RNP.
Human Factors & CRM
Threat and error management that means something on the line, authority gradients, startle and surprise, and speaking up when you are the junior pilot.
Fatigue & FTL
ORO.FTL in practice, cumulative limits, standby and split duty, and how to make a fatigue report that is actually taken seriously.
Read now: FTL Quick ReferenceCommand Preparation
What changes when the responsibility is yours, decision-making under commercial pressure, managing a crew rather than operating alongside one, and preparing for the command assessment.
Read now: Command Upgrade GuideReturning to the Flight Deck
Getting current after time away — what has lapsed, what needs revalidating versus renewing, and rebuilding confidence as well as currency.
Read now: Grounded but ReadyIn the meantime
These are live now and built for pilots already on the line.
What would you actually use?
If there is a subject your recurrent training rushes past every year, tell us and we will build that module first.
