It's hard to find the perfect flight school, right?

Sign up for online ground school with AV8Prep and we’ll set you up with a flight school.

FAA approved flight schools all have the same requirement: Take a ground school class and pass a written test.  Start here with AV8Prep and let us help you on the journey to becoming a pilot.

We’ve Partnered with Many Flight Schools

Frequently Asked Questions

Picking the best school that suits your needs can be challenging, but when you sign up with AV8Prep we actually help you find a school! Your school should be easy to get to, have a friendly staff of instructors, promote meaningful learning experiences, and be available when you are. Fortunately, with AV8Prep you can jump right in today to start your flight training and we’ll help with the rest!

Typically they aren’t, but most try to accommodate people’s busy schedules. With AV8Prep however, you can begin your training today and study any time of day or night, even before you pick a flight school.

It’s always a good idea to check out a school’s reviews online to get an idea of who they are and what they do. When you sign up with AV8Prep, we take away the mystery and will help match you with the best school that meets your needs.

A part 141 training center will function a lot like a typical higher learning facility, while a part 61 school tends to be a bit more flexible with schedules and works well for those that may have more responsibilities outside of being a full-time student. Whichever one you choose, AV8Prep is always the first step to becoming a pilot. You can even show up on your first day with your written test completed!

Choosing a flight instructor is a lot like finding a new friend. You should get along, feel at ease and be comfortable at all times as you start flight training. They’ll talk you through what airplane is best, but if you start training today with AV8Prep you’ll have a wealth of knowledge even before you take that first flight.
