The complete B1.4 route for piston helicopters: shared foundations, the B1 technical modules, rotorcraft systems and the piston engine. The library bundles 12 volumes, each one written for the licence scope it serves, so there is no duplicated or out-of-category material. Choose the format that suits you: printed books, eBooks or both.
Together the volumes cover 171 syllabus subjects of Regulation (EU) 2023/989, Part-66 Appendix I for B1.4. One purchase gives you the whole reading list.
Plan your study by module: finish a volume, practise its competencies in the Quiz Engine, then sit the timed exam simulation. The Online Senior Instructor tracks which volumes to open next.
How it helps you pass the exam
Consistent structure from volume to volume, so you spend your hours learning rather than re-learning how to read the book.
A single, complete reading list for the whole route, mapped to the syllabus subject by subject.
Built for B1.4 candidates preparing every module for helicopters with piston engines.
171 syllabus subjects, each shown with the knowledge level examined for the licence scope of this product. Level 1 is familiarisation, Level 2 is general knowledge and Level 3 is detailed knowledge.
