AskPubs Training

Study the airplane. Have it down cold.

Same engine as AskPubs — same manuals, same citations, always current. But instead of answering your questions, it asks you the ones the checkairman will. Pick your fleet and seat, then drill what you'll actually be tested on.

Aligned with how American Airlines actually trains.

AQP

Your recurrent training, on an even/odd-year cycle — review the aircraft systems, fly that year's sim scenarios, and work through to the Line Operational Evaluation. Training drills the systems, flows, and profiles behind the cycle you're in.

Transition training

Changing fleets. Learn your new aircraft in depth — systems, flows, profiles, and limits — from the ground up, so you walk into the course already ahead instead of drinking from the firehose.

Upgrade training

Moving to Captain. Same airplane, new seat and new responsibility — drill the command-seat flows and callouts and rehearse the calls you'll now be the one making.

New-hire / initial

New to the airplane or the airline. Build the foundation at your own pace before day one — the systems, the standard flows, and the profiles you'll be expected to know.

What you'll drill

Built around what airline pilots actually get tested on.

Flows & Triggers

Your Before Start, Taxi, Descent, and Shutdown flows — rebuilt in order, from memory, until they're cold. The part instructors focus on.

Profiles & Maneuvers

The choreographed flying — engine failure after V1, go-around, RTO — walked step by step, the way you'll actually fly it.

Scenarios

Talk through the non-normals, the oceanic and ETOPS techniques, and threat & error management before you ever sit in the box.

Systems

How each system works and how it fails — in plain language, so you carry the concept, not a memorized number.

Quick Check

Fast knowledge checks that hit the way the distance-learning modules do — right answer, with the source.

Flows & Triggers — preview

Build the flow. In order.

Scrambled steps, dragged into sequence and checked against the book. Here it's on autopilot — in the app, you do the ordering.

TrainingEngine failure at V1, 737 — talk me through it.
YouMaintain directional control, my aircraft. At VR rotate toward 12–13 degrees. Positive rate, gear up, climb at V2 to V2+20. At acceleration height I retract the flaps on schedule and bring up VNAV.
TrainingGood — rotate to 12–13° ✓, positive rate / gear up, V2 to V2+20 (bank ≤15° until V2+15) ✓, flaps up on schedule at the E/O accel height ✓. One to add: at flaps-up maneuvering speed (UP bug), set MCT and call “MCT, ___ checklist,” then run the non-normal checklist.B737 AOM §6.5 · p. 6-44 / 6-51 · cited
How the course works

More than flashcards — it's a course you complete.

Pick your fleet, your seat, and what you're training for, then work each section to a standard — the same way you actually get signed off.

01 · PRACTICE

Drill it as much as you want.

Order the flows, walk the profiles, talk through the scenarios. Misses just loop back — practice never counts against you.

02 · CHECK

Take the graded run.

When you're ready, run the section for a score. Hit 80% or better and it's marked complete — green on your progress.

03 · MASTER

Miss a few? Fix just those.

Fall short and it shows you exactly what you missed and sends you back to drill those items — never the whole section over. One slip doesn't cost you the lot.

Graded the right way for each part

Flows and profiles are scored on order; scenarios on the key points you hit — with the book's answer always shown so you can check yourself; systems through quick knowledge checks.

Always know where you stand

A running picture of what you've got cold and what's still weak, so you always know what to study next. Mastery even fades over time — it nudges you to refresh before recurrent or your next check.

Review anything, anytime

Once a section's green, every flow, profile, and scenario stays in your library — pull up the Before Start flow the night before, as often as you like.
