For instructors

Teach for less.Earn more. Keep them flying.

Give your students FAA-loggable reps they can actually afford — and grow your own book while you do it. Instructor membership is $150/mo, then drops to $0 once you have 3 active referred students. Every student you bring also gets $50 off their first flight.

Your roster, your retention

Students invited through your link stay attributed to you. You see their status, qualification date, and lifetime credits in the instructor portal.
