Description
Flying Beyond, 3rd Edition — The Canadian CPL Textbook
If From the Ground Up got you your private licence, Flying Beyond is the book that takes you the rest of the way. Written by Canadian ground school instructor Chris Hobbs and published by Aviation Publishers, it is the standard commercial-level text in Canada: the chapters follow the order of Transport Canada’s CPL syllabus, so it maps directly onto how the CPAER written exam — and any structured ground school — is organized.
The third edition, released in 2024, brings every subject current. And “commercial-level” is the operative phrase: this is not a PPL book with harder questions bolted on. The treatment of aircraft systems, flight instruments, meteorology, navigation, flight operations, human factors, and air law is written to the depth a working professional pilot is expected to hold — with worked examples, real-world operating anecdotes, and flagged exam hints marking the material the written exam leans on hardest.
Why buy the print edition?
The publisher sells this title as an eBook at the same price. We sell the physical book — and for a CPL candidate, print is the better tool. A textbook you are going to live in for months should be one you can tab by subject, write in the margins of, and flip between the METAR appendix and the question you’re stuck on. It never needs a charged device, it isn’t locked to a reader platform, and when you’re done with the written exam it goes on the shelf as a career reference instead of expiring in an app. Same price. You keep the book.
The textbook for our CPL Ground School
Flying Beyond is the required text for the Canadian Flight Trainers CPL Ground School — a Transport Canada compliant online course taught by an active airline captain and Class 1 Flight Instructor. The course tells you which chapters to read and when; the book gives you the depth. Together they are how our students walk into the CPAER prepared.
Who this book is for
CPL candidates preparing for the Transport Canada written exam, whether enrolled in a ground school or self-studying. PPL holders who want commercial-depth knowledge without necessarily pursuing the licence yet. And instructors and flight schools looking for a Canadian-syllabus text to anchor their commercial ground school — bulk and partnership pricing is available.
Round out your CPL study shelf
Flying Beyond covers the syllabus; the exam also assumes fluency with source documents. Most of our CPL students pair it with the Human Factors for Aviation handbook and the RCAF Weather Manual for the met questions that decide marginal passes. Stocked in Canada, priced in CAD, flat-rate shipping — dispatched fast because exam dates don’t move.
