Accelerated Aviation Training specializes in assisting Canadian pilots for all levels of aviation licences and ratings to prepare for Transport Canada aviation examinations. We have three core products: aviation training books and manuals, aviation exam prep seminars, and online training products.

CORE PRODUCT ONE: Culhane aviation training books and manuals

Our primary aviation training product that we offer is aviation training manuals written by Michael J. Culhane, ATPL, BSc, BA, LLB. We are the exclusive publishers of these texts. Culhane ground school and flight training course manuals have become well established as the recognized INDUSTRY STANDARD for Canadian self study ground school course texts and referenced sample exams at all levels of aeroplane and helicopter pilot licences and ratings. Our course texts provide numerous innovative features that make aviation and aeronautics test preparation a breeze: those using our training texts will find everything needed to study in one integrated, organized system. Our course texts can be used as primary training course/seminar texts or for independent, self guided study for all Canadian fixed wing and rotary wing aviation licences and ratings including student pilot - PSTAR, recreational pilot - RPP, private pilot - PPL, commercial pilot - CPL, instrument rating - INRAT, airline transport pilot licence - ATPL, individual aeroplane type rating - IATRA, FAA ATP conversion to TC ATPL (FAAAA exam), flight instructor ratings (Class 4, Class 3, Class 2 and Class 1), helicopter pilot commercial - CPL-H, helicopter pilot airline transport licence - ATPL-H, night endorsement, mountain check-out, fixed wing and rotary wing type ratings, pilot decision making, pilot recurrency training etc. We believe that the first requirement to be met by all aviation publishers providing pilot training books is to ensure that their publications are USER FRIENDLY, and for this reason we provide our users with only the RELEVANT subjects that are required knowledge based on the latest Transport Canada Study and Reference Guides. Users of our aeronautical course study guides and workbook publications benefit greatly from our commitment to keeping our texts free of any extraneous, foreign, outdated, irrelevant, superfluous or other off-topic and unnecessary material that simply does not need to be assimilated and learned for purposes of mastering a particular Canadian aviation written exam. As well, all of our training materials display meticulous organization of the required background subjects and are formatted logically so that the user can FOCUS on the essential subjects and QUICKLY learn these with the numerous exercises, examples and step-by-step instructions provided. Year after year after year, our manuals, books and exams consistently continue to prove themselves to be the most useful and EFFECTIVE aviation self study courses available for those completing their Canadian ground studies towards recreational pilot or professional pilot standards. Our training courses guides and supplemental written test guides can be used throughout a pilot's aviation career, commencing with the Student Pilot Permit PSTAR written exam and first solo flight and on to completion of ab-initio licences and ratings such as the Private Pilot Licence or Recreational Pilot Permit, and thereafter, onwards if so desired through to advanced professional pilot licences and ratings, such as the Commercial Pilot Licence, Instrument Rating, Individual Aircraft Type Rating and ultimately, the Airline Transport Pilot Licence. We also offer training texts for the Transport Canada Flight Dispatcher Generic Exams: FDOPS and FDMET, as well as for the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Regulatory Requirements examination.
