Frequently Asked Questions
Here's a list of frequently asked questions:
WHAT COURSES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE?
Pooleys Aviation Academy has all 9 PPL (A) theory subjects available for both UK CAA and EASA syllabi.
The UK Theory subjects are written as E exams, set by the CAA and delivered by authorised providers. You can choose whether you follow a UK or EASA pathway with separate and distinct courses for Air Law. Included with the PPL (A) course is access to progress tests, 79 PPL (A) practice exam papers and a full webinar programme.
The Academy also has all 9 subjects for PPL (H) and all 5 UK NPPL (A) theory subjects.
The CAA has not currently written E exams for the NPPL (A) and so, for the foreseeable future, they are written as a set of paper based microlight exams. Students wishing to complete the NPPL (A) can therefore study the NPPL (A) M subjects in the Academy.
To be clear these Microlight exams will be acceptable for issue of SEP and TMG licences.
Finally, there are also a set of CAA bridging exams which can be used to move from NPPL (A) to PPL (A).

About Pooleys
A passion for aviation and dedication to our customers
Pooleys is a family owned and operated business, founded by Robert Pooley on leaving the Royal Air Force in 1957. Robert handed over the running of the company to his son Sebastian in 2007 having, in 2005, established a new company, Pooley Sword Ltd, manufacturing British military and Commonwealth swords as well as special ceremonial swords which are sold worldwide.
Over the years, Pooleys has become a well respected name in the Aviation Industry, not just in the UK but globally, as a leading manufacturer and publisher of Aviation, Pilot Training and Flight Equipment. We now sell over 2850 products worldwide including many of the worlds most recognisable aviation brands.
Pooleys opened its first wholesale and retail shop in Africa at Grand Central Airport, Johannesburg in June 2002. We currently have 5 Pilot Shops open across the UK at Cambridge, Cranfield, Elstree, Oxford and Turweston. In 2021, we also opened our latest pilot shop at Wilson Airport, Nairobi, Kenya.
In 2022, we celebrated 60 years of the Pooleys Flight Guide to the United Kingdom. To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Pooleys Guide in 2012, we launched a digital version, Pooleys iPlates, as an app for Apple and Android devices. Pooleys digital plates are now available on half a dozen platforms.
In 2022, Pooleys celebrated its 65th Anniversary.
Our aim is to standardise the quality of flying training, teaching and learning equipment through schools and their instructors throughout the UK and beyond. All the aviation training publications that we produce have been closely scrutinised by the CAA and the leading schools and instructors in the UK.
We are ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 Certified.
Pooleys have set the industry standard in so many areas of manufacturing and publishing of aviation products that other companies, over the years, have strived to emulate. Our equipment is now sold to over 100 countries around the world.
Our family motto is Conare et Vinces - Try and you will Succeed.
