The Curriculum

The Accelerated Pilot curriculum takes you from first VR flight to commercial pilot — one course at a time, each building on the last.

001 How the Curriculum Works

Each course prepares you for a specific outcome.

The four courses in the Accelerated Pilot curriculum mirror the progression of in-aircraft flight training. You start by preparing to solo. Then you work toward your Private Pilot certificate. Then you add an Instrument Rating. And if you're pursuing aviation as a career, you finish with the Commercial Pilot certificate.

Each course is structured around the same four-component pattern — video lessons, MSFS 2024 scenarios, a custom aircraft checklist, and a mission workbook — with coaching available as an optional tier at every level. The methodology stays the same. What changes is the skill set you're building and the certificate or rating you're preparing for.

You can take the courses in order, or you can enter the curriculum at the level appropriate for your current flight experience. Each course has its own prerequisites based on pilot certification level.

002 The Four Courses

The catalog.

Every course uses the same four-component foundation. Each targets a specific FAA certificate or rating. Status and prerequisites are listed below.

01 / 04 Available Now

Learn to Fly Solo

Prepares you to solo in-aircraft.

The first course in the curriculum. Built for absolute beginners and pre-solo students, Learn to Fly Solo delivers 40+ hours of structured practice across 65 lessons and 10 modules. By the end, you're ready to step into the cockpit and begin in-aircraft training for your first solo.

Prerequisites
None. Designed for students with little to no prior flight experience who have yet to solo in-aircraft.
Outcome
Solo-ready skills aligned with Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards.
02 / 04 Launching Winter 2026/27

Learn to Fly Cross Country

Prepares you for your FAA Private Pilot checkride.

Builds on Learn to Fly Solo to take you to Private Pilot readiness. Adds cross-country flight planning, navigation, night flight, and Basic Attitude Instrument (BAI) flying — the skills that complete your Private Pilot preparation. Uses the same trainer aircraft as Learn to Fly Solo.

Prerequisites
Pre-solo flight training proficiency — Learn to Fly Solo graduates, or equivalent.
Outcome
Private-Pilot-ready skills aligned with Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards.
03 / 04 Coming 2027

Learn to Fly In the Clouds

Prepares you for the FAA Instrument Rating.

An Instrument Rating is an additional rating beyond the Private Pilot certificate — required for flying in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Learn to Fly In the Clouds transitions students to a G1000-equipped glass cockpit aircraft and teaches instrument approaches, IFR navigation, and IFR decision-making.

Prerequisites
FAA Private Pilot certificate.
Outcome
Instrument-rating-ready skills aligned with Instrument Rating Airman Certification Standards.
04 / 04 Coming Soon

Learn to be Paid to Fly

Prepares you for the FAA Commercial Pilot certificate.

The final course in the curriculum. Commercial pilot training emphasizes precise maneuvering, complex aircraft systems, and the decision-making discipline that distinguishes professional pilots. This course prepares you for the single-engine Commercial Pilot certificate — the threshold for being paid to fly.

Prerequisites
FAA Private Pilot certificate and Instrument Rating.
Outcome
Commercial-pilot-ready skills aligned with Commercial Pilot Airman Certification Standards (single-engine).
003 How to Choose

Start where you are.

Not sure where to start? Here's a quick guide based on your current flight experience.

  1. If you've never flown an airplane before

    Start with Learn to Fly Solo. It's designed for absolute beginners, and completing it will give you 40+ hours of structured practice before your first in-aircraft lesson.

  2. If you've started flight training but haven't soloed yet

    Learn to Fly Solo lets you practice at home between in-aircraft lessons. When weather cancels a flight or maintenance grounds the aircraft, your training doesn't have to stop — you can keep building skills in VR, reinforcing what you learned in the aircraft and staying sharp for your next lesson.

  3. If you've completed Learn to Fly Solo

    Learn to Fly Cross Country is your next step in the curriculum when it launches in Winter 2026/27. You don't have to wait until you've soloed in-aircraft to continue — working through Cross Country in VR can help you prepare for the cross-country phase of your in-aircraft training before you get there. Join the waitlist to be notified when enrollment opens.

  4. If you've already soloed in-aircraft but haven't earned your Private Pilot certificate

    Learn to Fly Cross Country is the course for you when it launches in Winter 2026/27. It picks up where Learn to Fly Solo ends, adding cross-country flight planning, navigation, night flight, and Basic Attitude Instrument (BAI) flying. Join the waitlist to be notified when enrollment opens.

  5. If you hold a Private Pilot certificate and want an Instrument Rating

    Learn to Fly In the Clouds will be the course for you when it launches in 2027. Join the waitlist to be notified.

  6. If you hold a Private Pilot certificate and an Instrument Rating and are pursuing a commercial career

    Learn to be Paid to Fly is designed for you. Join the waitlist to be notified when it launches.

  7. If you're exploring whether flight training is right for you

    Learn to Fly Solo is the natural starting point. The Self-Study tier gives you full access to the curriculum at a lower price point, letting you evaluate the program before committing to the Coached tier.

004 What's Consistent

The pattern that repeats at every level.

Every course in the Accelerated Pilot curriculum shares the same structural foundation.

  • 01
    An FAA-certified flight instructor designing and teaching the curriculum. Every lesson is taught by a CFI, not a voice actor reading a script.
  • 02
    Four components. Video lessons, pre-built MSFS 2024 scenarios, a custom aircraft checklist, and a mission workbook.
  • 03
    Deep practice methodology. Focused, feedback-rich, repetition-driven practice that builds skill faster than ordinary training.
  • 04
    Scenario-based training aligned with FAA guidance. Teaching pilots how to think, not just how to perform tasks.
  • 05
    A Self-Study tier and a Coached tier. Self-Study gives you the full curriculum to work through independently. Coached adds structured CFI feedback at Phase Checks and a Graduation Phase Check — including FAA-loggable ground training and a Certificate of Completion for students who pass.
  • 06
    À la carte coaching available at any time. For any enrolled student.
