Arrive at flight school
already knowing how to fly.
A CFI-designed mixed reality flight training program that takes aspiring pilots from first-time to solo-ready — before they ever step into a cockpit.
Four courses. One path from first flight to commercial pilot.
Every course in the Accelerated Pilot curriculum is built on the same four-component structure — designed to deliver the rhythm of in-aircraft flight training, translated for home practice.
Video Lessons
Structured lessons from an FAA-certified flight instructor.
MSFS 2024 Scenarios
Pre-built scenarios for every flight lesson.
Aircraft Checklist
The same kind of checklist pilots use, purpose-built for the course aircraft.
Mission Workbook
Brief, fly, debrief, log — the way in-aircraft flight training works.
Flight training is expensive, slow, and front-loaded with the hardest part: learning to fly in a distracted classroom — the cockpit.
The FAA requires a minimum of 40 hours to earn a Private Pilot certificate, but most students take closer to 70. With plane and instructor averaging $300 per hour nationally, every hour above the minimum has real cost.
The difference is not a gap in talent or dedication. It's the reality that learning to fly is complicated — and the aircraft, with all its new sights and sounds, is a difficult place to learn.
We can do better.
Here's what those hours add up to — and what it looks like when you train the maneuvers at home first and walk in closer to the FAA minimum.
Finish near 50 hours instead of 70 — that's 20 fewer hours of aircraft time, and you come out ahead even after the cost of the course and coaching.
Based on national averages — $300/hr for plane and instructor, and the ~70 hours most students log to their checkride.
Train the maneuvers before you pay for the airplane. You arrive more skilled, more confident, and more current — without burning a hole in your pocket.
And your setup keeps paying off. Long after you've earned your certificate, the same simulator keeps you sharp between flights — and gives you a head start on every rating you go after next.
What if you arrived at every lesson already knowing how to fly the maneuver?
That's what Accelerated Pilot is built to do.
The Learn to Fly curriculum gives aspiring pilots hours of structured, deep practice in virtual reality — at a fraction of the cost of aircraft time. You fly the same maneuvers you'll fly in the aircraft, to the same standards, as many times as it takes.
The students who train this way don't just save money. They arrive at every lesson ready to build on the last one. They progress faster. They train more thoroughly. And they become better, safer pilots because of it.
Learn to Fly Solo is step one.
Accelerated Pilot is the complete curriculum from aspiring pilot to professional aviator — delivered by FAA-certified flight instructors, designed around the principles of deep practice.
Learn to Fly Solo
Learn to Fly Cross Country
Learn to Fly In the Clouds
Learn to be Paid to Fly
Every course follows the same four-component structure — video, mission files, checklist, workbook — delivered by FAA-certified flight instructors and designed around the principles of deep practice.
You learn the rhythm once. You apply it through your entire training arc.
A path for anyone serious about becoming a pilot.
- You want to become a Private Pilot — for a career in aviation, a lifelong dream, or because flight has always called to you
- You're serious about training — willing to treat VR as practice, not gaming
- You want to arrive at your first in-aircraft lesson already knowing how to fly
- You have access to a VR headset and a PC that can run MSFS 2024
- You're a parent of an aspiring young pilot, or a partner supporting someone's dream
- You want a legitimate, structured training program — not a video game
- You want to understand where the money is going and what they're learning
- You want the safety, credibility, and rigor of in-aircraft flight training methodology
If that's you, you're in the right place.
