Before you get started
A few good
questions.
What does “a CFI in your pocket” mean?
CFI stands for Certified Flight Instructor. It describes the personal, question-by-question study experience we’re aiming for. Ace is an AI study companion, not a certified instructor, and doesn’t replace flight instruction.
Who is Wannabe Pilot for?
Wannabe Pilot is for adults studying Private Pilot ground-school knowledge in the United States, whether you’re just getting started or studying between flight lessons.
Can I use it on the web or Android?
The learning app is currently built for iPhone. This page introduces the app; it isn’t a web version of the study experience.
Do I need a test date to get started?
No. Your knowledge-test goal date is optional. You can start studying and add a target date later.
How is AI used?
Ace can help explain concepts and talk through study questions when you allow AI data sharing. AI can make mistakes, so check important information with current FAA materials and your flight instructor. Read our privacy policy for details.
