Welcome
Your roadmap

From sign-up to certified pilot.

Every academy course follows the same six steps. Each step unlocks the next — so you always know exactly what to do now, and what comes after. No guessing.

Locked & unlocked
Steps open as you progress
You won’t see a 🔒 step as a dead end — each one tells you exactly what to finish to open it. Pass theory and the practical opens; pass the practical and the checkride opens.
Step by step

The training roadmap

Follow these in order. Steps 4–6 stay locked until you’ve cleared the one before them.

1

Enroll on a program

Pick a course from the catalog and press Enroll. New pilots start with the AirCrewCentral Induction; after that you can take a type rating for the B737F, B777F or MD-11F. Guests need to register or log in first.

2

Study the theory

Work through the course lessons at your own pace — systems, procedures, charts and weather, each with diagrams. Take your time; nothing is timed at this stage.

→ Prepares you for the theory exam

3

Pass the theory exam

The exam draws a random set of questions from the course bank, shuffled each time. Reach the course pass mark (usually 80%) to clear it. You can review every answer afterwards and retake if needed.

→ Unlocks the practical submission
Theory stage
4

Fly the practical PIREP

Fly the required sector and file your PIREP. The academy checks it automatically against the course criteria — route, aircraft type, landing rate and more — so you get instant feedback on what passed.

5

Complete the checkride

A trainer reviews your practical flight against the standard and confirms you’re ready. This is the final sign-off before qualification.

6

Earn your certificate

Once the checkride passes, your certificate is issued automatically and appears in your profile. Type ratings and recurrent checks stay valid for the course period, then you return for the annual PROF CHECK.
