Student walkthrough · 10 steps

Getting started as a student

The whole journey from sign-up to checkride day. Real screens, ten steps.

1

Start as a student

One question on the way in. The student path gives you a training dashboard and a record that is yours, not an instructor roster.

Add your instructor

Enter your CFI’s email. If they use Waypoint, you appear on their roster so they can sign your endorsements.

Add your instructor
5

Know where you stand

Your pace, your projected finish, and the one next step to take, with how your hours compare to the real-world norm.

Know where you stand
6

Log or import your flights

Add flights by hand, or import your whole logbook from ForeFlight or MyFlightbook once and it credits itself. Tag the §61.107 skills you flew.

Log or import your flights

See exactly what’s left

Every 14 CFR §61.109 requirement, computed from your real flights and checked against the reg. No more guessing.

Track what it’s costing

What you’ve spent, by month, against your goal. Private to you, never shown to your instructor or your examiner.

Keep the paperwork clean

Your endorsements in one place. See what your CFI has signed, and what’s next, so nothing on paper stops you.
