Discovery Call

"This is a really nice way to find a remote CFI and ask questions online. It's great for support like checkride prep, or more specialized areas.
Tom helped me figure out the next steps in my aviation journey. He gave clear, practical advice on preparing for high-performance and complex endorsements, breaking down the process for each. He also explained what it's like to pursue an instrument rating and ensure I knew what to expect."

"I was looking for something very niche and it helped fill the need. It's been really tough to find someone in any pilot groups online, and having all these instructors with different expertise consolidated in one platform is super helpful. All-in-all, great experience, idea, and instructors. My instructor for the XPlane 11 flight sim was Peter. He was very easy to schedule with and super professional when we connected."
★★★★★

– Jenn, Seattle, Washington

"Inaia is wonderful to work with and an expert in her aviation domain space. You can clearly tell how passionate she is about advancing aviation training. She created a custom package for my training needs and walked me clearly through her program development roadmap. I highly recommend booking sessions with her for your next stage of training or to brush up on any stale topics. Easy to use palatform as well, booking is a breeze."
