How Skyfarer Academy works
Local Instructor article
Updated Mar 11, 2025
We show students your flight instructing, for free.
Students come to Skyfarer Academy each day to find instructors like you. Students see search results in real-time with profiles, training stages, ratings, and more. They can then filter the results to find the instructors who are a good match.
You can start appearing in search results after doing three things:
- Sign up as an instructor.
- Submit an application form.
- Create your profile listing.
Students and pilots choose instructors they like.
Stand out to customers in their search results by building an engaging profile. You can start by:
- Adding helpful details about your profile listing.
- Showing photos of your aviation experience.
- Getting reviews from your students.
When a student thinks you might be a good fit for their pilot training, they’ll reach out.
You choose your students, too.
By setting your preferences, you tell students the stages and types of training you offer. Your preferences also let us know where and when you want to instruct.
We'll also send you direct leads (leads that match your targeting preferences) and you seal the deal with the customer.
Respond quickly and get booked.
Either the student starts a chat with you or you get a lead, review the student message and ask questions. The faster you respond, the better your chance of confirming the booking.
