Demo pilot. An invented private pilot with two years of flying, a co-owned Cessna 172 and an instrument rating in progress. Nothing here saves. Start your own with your logbook: the first 30 days are free.

Next rating

The flight experience each rating asks for, against your logbook as imported. A progress view: your instructor signs you off.

  • Met, from your logbook or marked done
  • In progress: the hours logged so far
