EASA-aligned syllabus
Every theory question and progress bar maps to the EASA Part-FCL ATPL/CPL question bank, the same scope FOCA examines.

Ground Deck is built for student pilots working through EASA ATPL theory and PPL holders flying out of Swiss aerodromes. Track every BAZL/FOCA currency requirement, study the right syllabus chapter at the right time, brief the weather before you turn the key, and log every leg in one place. No spreadsheets. No five-tab Chrome window.
Every theory question and progress bar maps to the EASA Part-FCL ATPL/CPL question bank, the same scope FOCA examines.
SEP/TMG class rating, 12-hour rule, 12 take-off-and-landing rule, training flight with an instructor: dates, deadlines, and reminders specific to BAZL.
Work through Air Law, Meteo, Nav, POF and the rest with progress per chapter. KaTeX-rendered formulas, examiner-grade question explanations, spaced repetition.
See in one glance whether you are legal to fly tomorrow: SEP rating, recent experience, BFR equivalents, medical class 2 expiry, language proficiency.
Leaflet map view of traffic over the Swiss plateau and Alps. Useful for picking the right time slot, watching club aircraft return, or planning a flight to follow.
METAR, TAF, SIGMET, GAFOR and surface wind for your departure, route, and destination. Plain-language summary on top of raw codes.
EASA Part-FCL compliant electronic logbook. Auto-tally PIC, dual, night, IFR, cross-country, type-rating hours. Export PDF for the examiner.
GA aviation has a carbon footprint. Ground Deck shows yours per leg and per year so you fly with eyes open. Useful when reporting to the aeroclub or to yourself.
Create your Ground Deck account and pick your aerodromes (LSGG, LSGL, LSPG, LSGS, LSZH and more).
Bring in your existing PPL/ATPL hours from CSV or paper. Ground Deck back-fills currency from your last 24 months.
Daily 20-minute ATPL sessions, weekly currency review, and a one-tap meteo brief on the morning of the flight.
Tap once after engine shutdown. PIC time, leg, fuel, CO2 and currency counters update automatically. Export to PDF for FOCA.
Most logbook apps are built for the FAA Part 61 world or for airline cadets working a jet type rating. Ground Deck starts from the BAZL/FOCA rulebook, the EASA Part-FCL exams, and the Swiss aeroclub mountain checkout. Everything you see is calibrated for that life.
Closed beta is free for the pilots who help us shape it. Pricing for general availability will be announced at gnd-deck.aero.
Built in Lausanne. Every screen reads natively in both English and French; switch with one tap and the change applies everywhere, including the meteo brief.
