Everything on this site is free: the guides, the calculators, the syllabus and the workbook. The video ground school is still being built; the preview below shows what it will look like, with sample data. Calls with the captain are available now. Here is what is coming, what it will cost, and how working pilots can help keep it accurate.
Video lessons, practice tests, FAA-style question bank, and a certificate of completion when you pass. Click through the tabs to preview. A preview of a course still being built: the lesson counts, scores and dates shown are illustrative.
This certifies that
has successfully completed the Pilot Career Solutions™ Private Pilot ground school curriculum, including the ground modules, the practice tests, and a final knowledge assessment scoring 84%.
Note: A Pilot Career Solutions certificate of completion is not a substitute for a CFI's endorsement to take the FAA Private Pilot knowledge test (FAR §61.35 / §61.103). Endorsements must be issued by a certificated flight instructor after reviewing your individual preparation. We intend the finished course to include endorsement review by a named, certificated instructor; that arrangement does not exist yet, and until it does this is a study aid, not a ground school. Sporty's, King Schools, Gleim, and Pilot Institute sell knowledge-test courses that include the endorsement today.
The free career guide is live today. Premium products are still in development — drop your email and we'll let you know the moment each one launches.
The tiers below show what's in development. We're working on the ground school videos, practice question bank, resume coaching service, and live community features — they'll launch in stages throughout 2026.
We chose to publish the site early so the free career information, calculators, lesson templates, glossary, and study resources would be available to help aspiring pilots right now — rather than waiting for everything to be perfect. Until our own services launch, we recommend products and companies we genuinely believe in (with full disclosure) so the site can stay funded without putting useful information behind a payment.
What this means for you: Use every section, every tool, every calculator on this site, free, today. Click "Notify me when ready" on any tier and we'll email you the moment it launches. No card stored, no waitlist commitment, no spam — just one email when each product goes live.
Every guide and calculator on this site is free. The one thing that can't be a web page is a conversation about your decision with an active legacy-airline captain who made it recently and hires the outcome every week. Book a time, pick phone or video, pay when you book.
Where you are, your realistic paths, what they cost, and the two or three decisions that matter right now. A written three-step action plan within 24 hours.
Book a time → 60 minutes · most useful for career changers Deep Dive $129Everything in the strategy call plus the numbers together on a screen share: training cost, the switch-careers math, lifetime pay. Schools or airlines compared by name. A month-by-month plan.
Book a time → 30 minutes · returning clients Follow-up Call $49A check-in on your action plan: what got done, what changed, what's next. We pick up exactly where we left off.
Book a time →What a call is not: flight instruction; legal, medical, or financial advice; a job or interview guarantee. I speak only for myself, from public information and my own experience, never on behalf of any airline, and I don't discuss anything internal to one. No affiliate pitch and no school with money behind it. Reschedule or cancel free up to 24 hours before; if a flying schedule forces me to cancel, you get a full refund or a new time.
Fill this out before a call so we start on your situation, not on introductions. No call booked? Send it anyway and you will get a reply from a real pilot, usually within a day or two. It goes straight to hello@pilotcareersolutions.com; nothing is stored on this website. Used the plan wizard or a calculator? Your numbers come along automatically.
The free career guide is fully live today. Paid tiers are still in development — drop your email when you click "Notify me when ready" and you'll be the first to hear when each one launches. No card on file, no waitlist commitment.
This site is independent, ad-free, and free to use. If we've helped your career — or if you're a working pilot who wants to give back — there are two ways to support what we're building.
Pilot Career Solutions runs on the paid calls, on store links marked (affiliate) where they exist, and on direct community support. Every dollar — and every pilot who shares their experience — directly improves the resource the next generation of aspiring pilots will use to find their way. If this site helped you, here's how you can pay it forward. No pressure, no required donations, no membership fees. Just two open doors.
One of the hardest parts of building a career-resource site is keeping the airline-specific details accurate and current. Pay scales change. Contracts get amended. Flow programs shift pace. Working pilots have ground truth that no aggregator website does.
If you fly for a U.S. airline (regional, ULCC, LCC, legacy, or cargo) and want to help us keep our airline pages accurate and useful, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
Prefer to talk? Call or text (732) 737-7672 (Google Voice — leave a message and I call back).
Domain registration, hosting, software, data verification — none of it is free to keep running. If Pilot Career Solutions saved you from a bad flight school, gave you an honest picture of pilot pay, or helped you make a better decision, a tip of any size keeps it free for the next person.
Thirty or sixty minutes with an active legacy-airline captain, by phone or video, with a written action plan afterward. It is the one paid thing on this site, and it stays honest: no affiliate pitch, no guarantees, no airline internals.
