About Editions Cepadues

Éditions Cépaduès is a publisher of scientific, technical and aviation books based in Toulouse, France. Its books are written in French, and it also lists titles in English and Spanish.

Aviation is a large part of the catalogue. For aeroplane pilots, the company publishes books to prepare for the PPL and LAPL licences and for the BIA, the French introductory aeronautics certificate. Its titles cover weather, piloting, navigation and communication, principles of flight, regulations and human performance. There are also history books and personal stories. A pilot manual for aeroplanes is now in its 21st edition, and it is described as a reference for initial training and for keeping skills current.

Cépaduès also serves other kinds of flying. Its microlight (ULM) range covers licence preparation, pilot handbooks, navigation, principles of flight, regulations, human performance and stories. A pilot manual for microlights is in its 17th edition. The company has sections for drones, gliders, helicopters and hot air balloons too. It also publishes books for people who want a career in aviation, such as cabin crew, air traffic controllers and pilots. One title is a guide for future airline pilots.

The catalogue goes beyond aviation. The science list includes mathematics, mechanics and physics, electricity, electronics and hydraulics, chemistry and polymers, space, data and computing, AI, and business topics. Titles include a treatise on astrophotography for amateur astronomers, a manual on systems engineering and a book on the Lagrangian method in physics.

The publisher also makes books for younger readers and for teachers. One example is a children's book for ages 4 to 8 that teaches weather, navigation and communication through a flying adventure. Other sections cover education, school books, leisure, regional interest, dictionaries, aviation comics and gift books.

Readers can follow the publisher's blog and events, browse PDF catalogues and watch videos. The company has an author page, and it invites writers to contact it with book projects.
