Some pilot training academies are already teaching the new syllabus, and more Approved Training Organisations (ATOs) around the world are in the process of switching in the next few months, despite COVID-19.

The 2020 syllabus is now in effect, although the old one continues alongside it until it’s final ATPL examinations occur in June 2022. The opportunity to review the applicable examination procedures, as required, was also taken.” The theoretical knowledge training for ATPL, MPL, CPL and IRs should provide all the necessary knowledge and competencies to prepare pilots for performing state-of-the-art flight operations. Given the emergence of new technologies and the advancement of training philosophy there was a need to review, amend, and update these LOs (where necessary). This means that it can be updated in the usual way, free of charge, to the new syllabus version.ĮASA states: “The last significant technical update of the syllabi and LOs for the airline transport pilot licence (ATPL), multi-crew pilot licence (MPL), commercial pilot licence (CPL), and instrument rating (IR) theoretical knowledge courses for aeroplane and helicopter categories was conducted in 2006. If you own the Padpilot ATPL Met book, you may have noticed that the latest version is already a ‘2nd Edition’ book. The one exception to this is our ATPL Meteorology book. We’re calling them ‘2nd Editions’ and you can spot them in our Book Store with their bright blue covers. These are the first textbooks to be published for the new 2020 syllabus (the first major change to the syllabus since 2006), and they’re entirely new editions rather than updates to our existing ATPL books. After two years in development, we’re excited to announce that our new ATPL (A) books for the EASA 2020 syllabus are now available for pilot training academies and ground schools, as well as for direct download from the Apple Books Store.
