ECQB-PPL-Update: Neue Fragen hinzugefügt

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 Z

Liebe Nutzer,

ein Update für ECQB-PPL (AIRCADEMY) wurde gerade veröffentlicht.

Das Update umfasst die Integration der DAeC Fragen, die im September angekündigt wurde. Diese Fragen sind in mehrere Fächer unterteilt. Um das Update auf Ihrem Gerät zu erhalten, synchronisieren Sie bitte Ihre Anwendung. Die Webversion wird automatisch aktualisiert.

Das Update betrifft sowohl die deutsche als auch die englische ECQB-PPL Datenbank:

ECQB-PPL Fragendatenbank (AIRCADEMY)
ECQB-PPL Question Catalogue (AIRCADEMY)

Die aktualisierten Inhalte sollten in den nächsten Wochen bei den meisten Behörden verfügbar sein, sodass Flugschüler und Flugschulen Zeit haben, sich mit den aktualisierten Materialien vorzubereiten.

Darüber hinaus ist nun im Rahmen des AIRCADEMY ECQB-PPL Produkts ein neuer deutscher SPL Fragenkatalog verfügbar.

Derzeit ist der SPL Fragenkatalog als separate Datenbank und nicht als Lizenz innerhalb von ECQB-PPL verfügbar. Mit einem aktiven ECQB-PPL Abonnement haben Sie jedoch Zugriff auf beide Datenbanken.

Bleiben Sie auf dem Laufenden. Seien Sie bereit für die Prüfung.

Folgen Sie uns in den sozialen Netzwerken, um keine wichtigen Updates zu verpassen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Ihr Aviationexam Team

Dear students,

An update for ECQB-PPL (AIRCADEMY) has just been released.

The update includes the integration of DAeC questions, which was announced in September. These questions are distributed across multiple subjects. To receive the update on your device, please synchronize the app. The web version is updated automatically.

The update applies to both the German and English ECQB-PPL databases:

ECQB-PPL Fragendatenbank (AIRCADEMY)
ECQB-PPL Question Catalogue (AIRCADEMY)

The updated content is expected to appear at most authorities within the next few weeks, giving students and flight schools time to prepare using the updated material.

In addition, a new German SPL catalogue is now available within the AIRCADEMY ECQB-PPL product.

At this stage, the SPL catalogue is available as a separate database rather than as a licence within ECQB-PPL. However, an active ECQB-PPL subscription provides access to both databases.

Stay current. Stay exam ready.

Sincerely,
Aviationexam Team

ECQB 2026 – Key changes you need to be aware of

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 Z

Dear students,

We have reviewed the official ECQB 2026 update and summarised the changes that directly affect current exam questions, to help you stay aligned with the current exam scope.

Loss of radio communications

010 Air Law & ATC · 090 Communications

New transponder code for IFR flights in VMC
In addition to the standard 7600 (radio failure), ECQB 2026 now introduces transponder code 7601 to represent a specific COM failure condition when an IFR flight experiences COM failure while in VMC.
Expect questions testing:

Correct identification of the failure scenario for IFR flights in VMC
Proper transponder selection
Associated ATC expectations and pilot actions
Using the “old logic” will lead to incorrect exam answers.

From the 7-minute rule to the 20-minute rule
The well-known 7-minute timing rule in case of COM failure on an IFR flight in IMC in airspace where radar is used, has been extended to 20 minutes, significantly affecting procedures and interpretation of ATC expectations.

T+24 significant weather charts

050 Meteorology

The ECQB is aligned with the updated T+24 SIGWX chart format. In practice, students will encounter charts with a revised visual presentation, including colourised layouts using OCNL and FRQ CB categories, shaded areas representing total turbulence, a flight-level contour depiction of the tropopause, a FL600 cap on high-level charts, and medium-level charts depicting icing only using a high-visibility “T” line style.

Why this matters:
Timing, transponder codes, and failure handling are tightly linked in ECQB questions. Memorising outdated limits or codes = guaranteed traps in the exam.

Other ECQB 2026 notable developments

The ECQB 2026 update also references fuel management, all-weather operations, North Atlantic high-level airspace, and pavement strength. However, these items do not introduce new exam logic compared to the existing question bank and are already reflected in previous ECQB amendments or continue to use the same concepts and terminology as before.

Student pilot reminder
If your study material predates ECQB 2026, update your mental model — this is a conceptual change in specific areas, not just a number update.

Best regards,
The Aviationexam Team

Scheduled Maintenance – Friday, 5 December

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:00:00 Z

Dear students,

Please be informed that there will be a scheduled maintenance this Friday, 5 December, starting at 20:00 UTC.

The maintenance is expected to last approximately 4 hours, but please note that this is only an estimate — the actual duration may vary depending on the work required.

There is no need to worry — your studies will not be interrupted. Our applications work offline, so you can continue studying without any issues. However, certain features that require a connection to our servers — such as synchronisation — will be temporarily unavailable.

To avoid any inconvenience, we strongly recommend syncing your devices with the newest data before Friday.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,
The Aviationexam Team
