Read a working instrument. Make the radio call and hear the answer. Find your way around the chart. Hands-on lessons make aviation click, one discovery at a time.
No experience needed. Plenty to grow into.
Watch the needle move. Hear what the controller said. Try your answer and understand why it works. Every lesson helps the next piece fall into place.
Get your bearings inside a live 3D Cessna 172. Read the needles, find the right gauge, and connect what you see with what it means.
Watch an instrument lesson
Build a radio call, then say it out loud. Hear the reply and work through the exchange. Each voice has a character of its own, just like a busy frequency.
Watch a radio lesson
Explore aviation charts one useful detail at a time. Recognize an airport, read an airspace boundary, and find the frequency you need. The symbols become familiar territory.
Watch a chart lesson
Start from zero or show us what you already know. Settle in for a quick lesson or a longer session. Your understanding sets the pace.
Take your time. Or give us something to keep up with.
A placement test puts you where the learning gets useful. New to aviation? We’ll start at the beginning.
Lessons accelerate when you show mastery and give you more practice where you need it. Rusty knowledge comes back for review.
Take a checkride to test ahead. You can show what you know whenever you’re ready.
Ground, Tower, Approach, and the airplane beside you. Hear a little of the crew you’ll learn with.
Ground
Runs the ramp and the taxiways.
Cessna four papa lima, runway two two, taxi via Alpha, hold short runway one six.
Tower
Your voice from the tower.
Cessna four papa lima, wind two five zero at eight, runway two two, cleared for takeoff.
Approach
Keeps the bigger picture in view.
Squawk four seven two one and maintain three thousand five hundred.
N734PL
The other airplane on frequency.

I’m a private pilot, and I built Pilotage to make the cockpit, the radio, and the chart feel familiar before your first lesson—and worth coming back to long after it. Every screen, every line of code, and every lesson gets that same care.
None. Start with the basics and build from there. Pilotage is for the aviation-curious, student pilots, and pilots brushing up on what they know.
Pilotage keeps up with you. A placement test finds your starting point. Lessons accelerate as you show mastery, and you can test ahead with a checkride whenever you’re ready.
As long as you’re enjoying it. Stay for a quick lesson or settle in for a longer session. There’s no timer to beat. Choose a weekly goal that fits your life, and keep going while you’re curious.
Free to start. The entire Instruments course is free. Every other course opens with a free Demo Flight. A subscription unlocks everything. Join the list to hear about launch pricing.
Pilotage teaches the language of aviation: instruments, radio calls, charts, and the knowledge that connects them. It is supplemental education, not flight instruction or written-exam prep. Nothing in the app should be used to make real flight decisions.
Yes. Voice drills have a quiet alternative, so you can keep learning wherever you are. When you do speak, recognition happens on your device; the app doesn’t keep a recording of your voice.
Pilotage is in flight test with a beta crew. iPhone and iPad first, Android to follow. Join the list and we’ll let you know when it’s ready to board.
We’ll bring the cockpit. Join the list and hear when Pilotage is ready for you.
