Terms of Service.

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Accelerated Pilot, LLC ("Accelerated Pilot," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website located at acceleratedpilot.com (the "Site"), our online courses, coaching services, and related materials (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing the Site, purchasing any Service, creating an account, or using any of our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access the Site or use our Services.

2. Description of Services

Accelerated Pilot provides flight training content for aspiring and active pilots, delivered through virtual reality (VR) flight simulation by FAA-certificated flight instructors. Our Services include, without limitation:

• Self-paced video instruction organized into structured courses
• Pre-built scenarios for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Mission workbooks and custom aircraft checklists
• Optional one-on-one coaching sessions with FAA-certificated flight instructors, including Phase Check evaluations and Graduation Phase Check evaluations
• Supporting materials and resources

The Accelerated Pilot curriculum is designed and delivered by FAA-certificated instructors authorized under 14 CFR Part 61. However, the home VR environment used to deliver our courses is not an FAA-approved training device, simulator, Aviation Training Device (ATD), Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD), or Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD). Time spent completing Accelerated Pilot courses cannot be logged toward FAA aeronautical experience or flight time requirements. Completion of any Accelerated Pilot course does not, by itself, result in an FAA certificate, rating, endorsement, or currency. Students are solely responsible for obtaining all FAA-required training in appropriate aircraft, training devices, or simulators, and for complying with all applicable regulations.

The ground review component of the Graduation Phase Check within the Coached tier constitutes ground training by an authorized instructor under 14 CFR Part 61 and will be logged in the student's logbook with an appropriate endorsement.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

3.1 Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase any Service.

The parent or legal guardian is responsible for all activity on the account.

3.2 Account Accuracy

When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

6. Coaching Sessions and Phase Checks

6.1 Scheduling

Coaching sessions are scheduled via our website contact form. Enrolled students receive direct scheduling contacts in their welcome email. All sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time. Sessions must be scheduled within the applicable time window associated with your enrollment.

6.2 Cancellation and Rescheduling

Scheduled coaching sessions may be rescheduled without penalty if rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions cancelled or missed with less than 24 hours' notice may be forfeited at our discretion.

6.3 Flight Recording Submissions

Coaching sessions involve your submission of flight recordings created with flight recorder software integrated with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. By submitting a recording, you grant Accelerated Pilot a limited license to review and analyze the recording for the purpose of providing coaching services. We will not share, publish, or commercially use your recordings without your express written consent.

6.4 Coaching Availability

Coaching is provided by FAA-certificated flight instructors affiliated with Accelerated Pilot. We reserve the right to assign coaching sessions to any qualified instructor on our team. For courses requiring specific certifications (such as Learn to Fly In the Clouds, which requires Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument qualifications), sessions will be assigned to appropriately certificated instructors.

6.5 Graduation Phase Check and Certificate of Completion

Students in the Coached tier may earn a Certificate of Completion by successfully passing a Graduation Phase Check to FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS). The Certificate is issued by the FAA-certificated flight instructor who administers the evaluation and documents:

• Successful completion of the course curriculum
• Demonstrated flight performance to ACS standards
• The FAA-loggable ground training component of the evaluation

The Certificate of Completion is not an FAA certificate, rating, endorsement, or currency. It is an internal Accelerated Pilot credential documenting completion of our curriculum. The Certificate is available only to students who complete a Graduation Phase Check as part of the Coached tier.

6.6 Ground Training Endorsements

The ground review component of the Graduation Phase Check qualifies as ground training under 14 CFR Part 61, delivered by an authorized instructor (your Accelerated Pilot CFI). Upon successful completion, your instructor will endorse your logbook for this hour of ground training in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 61-65.

7. Ground School Prerequisite

The Graduation Phase Check requires the student to have completed an online Private Pilot ground school course (or the equivalent ground school for courses beyond Learn to Fly Solo). Accelerated Pilot does not provide ground school content. Students are responsible for obtaining appropriate ground school training from qualified third-party providers before scheduling a Graduation Phase Check.

8. User Conduct

You agree to conduct yourself in a respectful, lawful, and professional manner in all interactions with Accelerated Pilot, including with our instructors during coaching sessions. We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services, without refund, for conduct that is abusive, harassing, threatening, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate.

9. Third-Party Services and Software

The Services are designed for use with third-party software and hardware, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flight recorder software, VR headsets, and related equipment. Accelerated Pilot does not provide or warrant these third-party products. You are responsible for obtaining, installing, and maintaining all third-party software and hardware required to use our Services.

Your use of third-party services is governed by those services' own terms and privacy policies, and Accelerated Pilot is not responsible for their practices or policies.
