Frequently asked questions about SPL theory

Which question catalogue is included?

The German gliding catalogue that used to be published as DAeC-SPL and is now continued as ECQB-SPL, plus the remaining SPL questions from the ECQB question bank, version R26.2. Together that makes 1,608 questions. We use the question bank under licence and don't call it official, because only what your examining authority specifies is binding.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay €79 once and keep access permanently. Nothing renews automatically.

What about the PPL?

The SPL purchase includes gliding and radio only. If you later switch to the PPL or to Lifetime, your SPL purchase is credited when you buy on flysoloready.com.

Can I try it first?

Yes. In the browser and in the apps you can start with free demo questions without buying anything. The radio questions for BZF and AZF are free for everyone.
