Flight Training

Accelerated Pilot is flight training that starts in virtual reality. Taught by FAA-certificated flight instructors. Master the maneuvers in your home sim. Become a safer, more proficient pilot in less time.

001 The Method

The airplane is a terrible classroom.

It's loud, cramped, and there's no pause button. And trying to learn there costs upward of $300 an hour.

Every other skill has a practice area, a place to practice safely as you learn. So we built one for pilots: a VR practice area. It's a cockpit without the distractions, where you can learn how to fly at a fraction of the cost.

Inside your VR practice area, you'll fly all the maneuvers a student pilot is required to demonstrate to earn a pilot certificate, each one to the same FAA standard. And you can repeat as often as you need and master them.

Flight Instruction.

CFI · CFII · AGI

Every lesson in the Accelerated Pilot syllabus was created by a working FAA-certificated flight instructor. And the program works the same for everyone: master the skill in your VR practice area and demonstrate it in the plane to earn your FAA pilot certificate.
