For flight instructors

Free ground school for your students. See their progress when they choose to share it.

Your students study airspace, weather and regulations at home, free. You give them one link. Before a lesson, you see the readiness estimate and weakest ACS areas of each student who chose to share progress with you.

How it works

  1. Set up your portal

    About two minutes: name your instructor space. A CFI certificate number is optional and self-attested; we do not verify it and students never see it.

  2. Share your link

    Copy your personal link, show the QR code, or print a one-page handout for your students.

  3. See who is getting close

    Each student decides whether to share progress with you. When they do, you see their readiness estimate, weakest ACS areas and mock-exam history.

What you see, only for students who share

  • The same readiness estimate (0–100) the student sees on their own dashboard, or “not enough data yet”.
  • Their weakest ACS areas, so you know what to brief before the lesson.
  • Mock-exam history, with 20-question quick mocks labeled apart from full 60-question mocks.
  • A way to send a study suggestion. It is advice only and never locks anything.

What you never see

  • Their email address, unless they choose to share it or you invited them at that address.
  • Payments, purchases or conversations with the AI instructor.
  • Anything after they stop sharing or leave your portal.

What it costs

Nothing, for you or your students. There is no referral commission and no reward for sign-ups, so your students know the recommendation was not bought. Your portal shows how many students joined through your link, and that is all.

Who built it: OB Bedier, a retired engineer and recent private pilot, built the course first for his own family and made it free for everyone. Why I built it →

The boundaries we hold

  • We never issue, sign or pre-fill an endorsement. The knowledge-test endorsement (14 CFR 61.35) is your decision.
  • The readiness estimate comes from practice on this site. It is not a prediction of the FAA result and not an endorsement.
  • The private pilot curriculum, practice questions and answer choices were reviewed by a panel of three certificated flight instructors (CFIs), alongside our AI review system (AI_CFI).
  • The optional course-completion certificate is a course record, not an FAA pilot certificate.

Judge the content yourself: the full curriculum, the explained question bank and the sources-and-review methodology are public. How we explain the endorsement to students: the knowledge-test endorsement.
