What you can expect from every answer, article and listing on PilotinQ, and what you can hold us to.
Our editorial team writes and edits the answers, aptitude test guides and news on PilotinQ. Each one shows its editor and the date of its last update. When our search builds an answer to a new question, that answer stays out of search engines until an editor has reviewed it.
We start from primary sources: the regulation itself (EASA, UK CAA, FAA and other authorities), the airline's or flight school's own pages, and the test publisher's own description of a test. News and specialist media add context, always named and linked. First-hand experience from pilots is used anonymised and is marked as pilot experience in the source list. Regulations are linked to the text itself where it is public. We never publish a source we cannot check, and we do not name pilots who shared their experience with us.
Every source is numbered under the answer or article, with its title and, where there is one, a link. A number in the text points to the source that sentence rests on.
Found an error? Write to us. We fix factual errors within two working days and note the correction and its date under the answer or article. If an answer is out of date, we update it and change the date.
Schools, airlines and other advertisers can pay to be shown more often. Every paid placement is labelled "Featured", everywhere on the site. Payment never changes an answer, a review score or the order of results that are not labelled.
We are not owned by a flight school or an airline, and no school or airline decides what we write. We publish negative reviews too, as long as they follow our house rules.
We check reviews against our house rules before they appear and remove those that break them, but we never remove a review because it is critical. A school can reply publicly to a review.
Our answers explain rules and routes as clearly as we can. For decisions about your licence, medical certificate or flight operations, the authority, your aeromedical examiner or your training organisation have the final word, and we link to their sources.
