What should I focus on next in my PPL training?

You're 86% ready — the next ACS gap I see is Airspace Class B. Let's drill that before your next lesson.

AIM · Chapter 3

I always mix up Class B and Class C requirements

With your 47 logged hours, you've probably been in both. Class B needs explicit clearance — “cleared into Bravo.” Class C just needs two-way radio contact. Want me to quiz you on the differences?

Why pilots choose PilotTrack

Built for where you actually are.

Four things that no other ground school gives you under one login.

01 · Voice teaching

The only ground school that actually talks to you.

Every one of 439 lessons is read aloud and expanded in plain-English cadence — not TTS robot-speak. Drive, commute, run, preflight — knock out a lesson without staring at a screen.

02 · Your AI CFI

It answers from the FAA book, not the internet.

ChatGPT will make up answers. PilotTrack's AI CFI answers from PHAK, AFH, IFH, and AIM, and cites the source in chat so you can check it. So when you show up Saturday morning, you're repeating the FAA, not Reddit.

What's V_a and why does it change with weight?

Maneuvering speed. Below V_a, the wing stalls before it over-stresses. At lower weights the airplane accelerates faster vertically, so V_a drops with it.

03 · Mock oral with AI DPE

Practice the oral until your voice stops shaking.

Unlimited voice-driven mock orals, structured to the ACS. Miss a question and the AI examiner gives you the correct answer on the spot, then moves on — like the real thing.

FAQ

Questions you'd actually ask.

Is PilotTrack FAA endorsed?

No. No ground school is "FAA endorsed" — that's marketing. Our content is grounded in official FAA publications (PHAK, AFH, IFH, AIM) and mapped to current ACS standards. AI CFI chat answers cite their FAA source so you can verify.

Can I use this alongside Sporty's or Pilot Institute?

Yes. PilotTrack is built for reinforcement, quiz practice, and oral exam prep. If you already have a course, PilotTrack makes the knowledge stick.

How does the AI CFI know what I need to study?

It reads your logbook hours, your quiz history, the lesson you last finished, and the rating you're working on. It recommends the next lesson based on what you're weakest on — not what's next alphabetically.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Module 1 of your rating is free forever — full lessons, 3 AI CFI messages per day, and the voice teacher on your first lesson. Upgrade any time at $29.99/month or $299/year for the rest of the curriculum and unlimited AI CFI. Every plan renews automatically until you cancel in Settings.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel any time in Settings. No prorated refunds, but your account stays active through the end of your billing cycle. You can request a copy of your data by email any time, and delete your account entirely in Settings.

Is there a pass guarantee?

No. Anyone promising you a pass guarantee is lying — your DPE, your airplane, your decisions aren't under our control. What we can do is make sure you've answered every ACS question a hundred times before the oral.

Do CFIs get free access?

Yes. Active CFIs get free PilotTrack for life. Send us your CFI certificate number and we'll comp you. We want you recommending us to your students.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn't know you're 47 hours in, stuck on slow flight, and taking your checkride in three weeks. PilotTrack does — because it reads your logbook, your quiz misses, and the lesson you closed last night before answering. Chat answers cite the FAA source so you can check them yourself.

Is the content FAA-accurate and up to date?

Content is grounded in current FAA PHAK, AFH, IFH, and AIM editions. When FAA updates publications, we re-index. The AI CFI cites its FAA source in chat, so you can always verify directly — and you should: it's a study aid, not your CFI.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. PilotTrack is a mobile web app — add it to your home screen on iOS or Android and it runs like a native app.
