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 how each item was reviewed.
Review gate
Instructional review before publication
Nothing safety-critical is published as reliable until it passes an instructional review gate: a certificated flight instructor, or — under recorded owner policy — an AI instructional-review system (AI_CFI) whose decisions are always labeled as AI review.
Honest status
Review labels tell the truth
Every review decision records who (or what) made it. AI_CFI review is disclosed as AI review; it is never presented as certificated-flight-instructor sign-off or FAA approval.
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.
- Instructional review. A certificated flight instructor or the AI_CFI review system (two independent AI reviewers, reconciled, with source verification) checks correctness and safety before the content is treated as reliable.
- Publish with status. Until that review clears, content stays unpublished. Published content records exactly which review cleared it.
Always verify against official FAA sources. No certificated-flight-instructor review or FAA/agency approval is claimed for AI-reviewed 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.
