FOR INDEPENDENT CFIs & FLIGHT SCHOOLS

Run your CFI business
like a flight school.

Self-scheduling for your students. Structured syllabi and maneuver profiles. AI-assisted debriefs. ACS progress tracking. Stripe-powered billing — no more chasing Venmo. One cockpit, built by an instructor.

14-day free trial. Founder-beta pricing while we're still small.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

You shouldn't need a dispatcher, three group texts, and a personal Venmo to run training.
You need an operating system shaped around the student.

schedule, syllabus, debriefs, billing

The trial gives you the independent CFI workspace before you pay. Invite a student, set your availability, schedule a lesson, run a debrief. Add billing, calendar sync, and aircraft setup only when they help you.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR COCKPIT

Everything you need to teach professionally.

Real availability, real bookings

Set your own availability windows. Students self-schedule against the syllabus, prerequisites, and aircraft. The system rejects bad bookings before they hit your calendar.

Syllabi and maneuver profiles

Use your own program or a vetted starting point. Lessons, ACS-linked maneuvers, prebriefs, and study resources are structured — your students show up prepared instead of confused.

AI-assisted debriefs that hold a standard

Capture raw notes. The platform structures, scores, and ACS-tags every debrief, flags safety concerns, and writes the next plan of action. You teach to standard whether you're rested or running on fumes.

Per-student readiness, not vibes

Watch each student's ACS proficiency move from Introduced through Proficient. Spot stalls before checkrides slip. Show parents and chief pilots a real signal — not a hand-wave.

Stripe-powered billing and payouts

Stop running payments through Venmo, Zelle, and your personal bank account. Mission-based billing, student ledgers, automatic invoices, and Stripe Connect payouts — opt-in when you're ready.

Branded student experience

Your students sign in to a clean, modern portal that's tied to you — not a cobbled-together stack of Calendly, Google Forms, and Apple Notes. They take you seriously because the operation looks serious.
