SOMETHING WORTH REHEARSING
The flight starts
with a decision.
A clear situation. A specific task. Feedback on your answer. Each rehearsal gives you something concrete to work through and bring to your next lesson.
Before the takeoff.
Read the runway and wind. Build a departure briefing. Think through the plan before you roll.
Before the radio call.
Break a practice clearance into its parts, then rehearse a complete readback.
Before you press on.
Recognize a changing approach and rehearse the decision to go around.
FAA-source-based study scenarios. Human instructor review is pending.
These are thinking exercises, not flight instruction or an assessment of flying skill.
MAKE THE EXPENSIVE MINUTES COUNT
Preparation is cheap.
Aircraft time isn’t.
Rental, fuel, instruction. The cost of arriving unprepared can add up quickly. Here is what another 15 minutes costs at two flight schools.
$56.25/ 15 min
$130/ 15 min
Published school examples checked September 2026; fuel included. Not national averages or promised savings. Extra fees may apply; Costanzo adds 30 minutes of instruction per flight. ChairFly.ai has not demonstrated a reduction in training hours or bills.

What if you needed less extra time?
A hypothetical month with the planned $19 membership. Enter only billable minutes you could actually avoid—not time spent in this app.
Instructor time defaults to zero because a shorter flight may not change a reserved block or briefing charge. No time avoided means no savings. The free starter has no subscription fee.
Illustrative costs, not demonstrated savings. The $19 membership is planned and isn’t on sale. Your CFI decides what instruction is needed; regulatory minimums cannot be replaced. Wet rates include fuel. Rates checked September 2026; confirm current rates, minimums and fees with your school.

THE TECHNOLOGY HAS A JOB TO DO
Focus on the flight.
Keep the tools simple.
The guided scenarios work with a mouse, touch, or keyboard. If you want hands-free input, optional browser AI can track your hand to make selections.
The model tracks a hand; it does not observe your flying or grade your spoken briefing. Answer feedback follows an authored study guide. Camera processing stays on your device.
