The Challenge

THE PILOT CRISIS IS REAL

By 2042, the world needs 674,000 new commercial pilots. Current training systems weren't built for this demand.

82%
of airlines report difficulty finding qualified pilots — CAE Airline Pilot Outlook
70%
of aspiring pilots cite cost as the biggest barrier — Flight Global Pilot Survey
40%
of training aircraft in service are 30+ years old — Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook
An Evolution of What Works

A BETTER APPROACH

The Current Approach

Most training programs rely on independent aircraft, instructors, and curricula. While effective for many, this can lead to uneven experiences and longer time-to-proficiency.

  • Fragmented systems
  • Inconsistent quality
  • Longer training timelines
  • Higher total cost

Our Approach

We offer a closed-loop system modeled on military structure—where curriculum, tools, and instructors work in sync to develop highly capable pilots, ready for airline operations.

  • Integrated system
  • Consistent outcomes
  • Accelerated proficiency
  • Predictable pipeline
Why We Built It

WE DIDN'T START WITH
AN AIRCRAFT

We started with a problem. Airlines needed a way to train pilots more efficiently, with greater consistency and lower risk. Existing options weren't designed to meet those demands.

So we built a platform modeled on proven military frameworks—with a clean-sheet aircraft and tightly integrated training system built from the ground up.

GARMIN GLASS
FRONT AND REAR

Both cockpits equipped with identical Garmin avionics. Students and instructors share the same full IFR-capable flight deck—no compromises, no workarounds.

  • Mirrored Displays — Instructors see exactly what students see, enabling real-time demonstration and monitoring
  • Full IFR Capability — Complete instrument training from day one, no transition aircraft needed
  • Integrated Engine Monitoring — Clear, reliable data reinforcing best practices from the earliest stages
  • Dual-Channel FADEC — Independent fuel and ignition control per cylinder bank with automatic reduced-power failsafe
