Source-controlled
Every claim traces to a source
Curriculum lives under version control. Each statement is tied to a citation from authoritative, current FAA material, so claims can be traced, checked, and updated.
How we keep it trustworthy
Safety & accuracy
Aviation knowledge has real consequences. We build for traceability and human oversight — and we are honest about what is still in draft.
Human review
CFI review before publication
Nothing safety-critical is published as reliable until a certified flight instructor reviews it. Human review is a required gate, not an optional step.
Honest status
Current content is DRAFT
Present content is clearly labeled draft, pending that CFI review. We do not present draft material as final or authoritative.
AI is a tool
AI is never authoritative
The AI instructor is retrieval-grounded to approved material and cites sources. It is treated as a study aid — never as an authoritative aviation source — and it refuses operational and medical questions.
How a claim becomes a lesson
- Draft against a source. An author writes original content and attaches a citation e.g. 14 CFR / FAA-H-8083 to each substantive claim.
- Automated checks. Content-integrity checks flag uncited claims, broken references, and drift from the source of truth.
- CFI review. A certified flight instructor reviews for correctness and safety before the content is treated as reliable.
- Publish with status. Until that review clears, content stays draft. Reviewed content is marked accordingly.
Always verify against official FAA sources. No CFI review or FAA/agency approval is claimed for current draft content. Confirm regulations and procedures against current official FAA publications and your instructor. A course-completion certificate is not an FAA pilot certificate. See the FAQ.
