More than a question bank
Airhead is an exam-recall question bank: it advertises 50,000+ "real exam" questions, offline apps, weekly webinars and a strong Trustpilot rating (4.8 from 347 reviews). It is built around recently-seen questions rather than structured learning. ATPL Training is a different product — a complete, all-in-one study platform that pairs a full-syllabus bank with courseware, AI explanations and tools, at a lower annual price.
A complete platform, not just a recall bank.
Airhead's strength is volume of recently-seen exam questions. ATPL Training pairs its 15,000+ EASA ATPL questions with an integrated LMS (835 lessons across 248 modules), so you learn the theory and drill it in one place rather than memorising recall questions alone.
AI explanations and adaptive analytics.
ATPL Training adds AI explanations across the question bank and a readiness score per subject and topic, so you understand the reasoning and study where it moves your result. Airhead does not offer AI explanations or an integrated LMS.
Aviation tools built in.
E6B, Mass & Balance, unit converter and wind-component tools are included in every ATPL Training plan, alongside instrument simulators — study tools Airhead does not bundle.
Lower annual price, in euros.
ATPL Training Basic is €99.90/year (€8.33/month), billed in euros. Airhead's best rate is £18/month on the annual plan (£33/month monthly), billed in pounds — so ATPL Training's annual plan is cheaper month-for-month.

No — Airhead advertises 50,000+ "real exam" questions, more than ATPL Training's 15,000+ EASA ATPL bank.

An integrated LMS (835 lessons across 248 modules), AI explanations across the question bank, adaptive analytics by subject and topic, aviation calculation tools (E6B, Mass & Balance, unit converter, wind), and EUR billing — an all-in-one study platform rather than a standalone recall bank.
Is Airhead good for real exam questions?
Airhead specialises in recently-seen "real exam" questions sorted by date and authority, with offline apps and weekly webinars — useful close to a sitting. ATPL Training complements full-syllabus study with an EASA-accurate exam simulator and spaced-repetition review, so you build understanding as well as recall.
