PilotBound: Become a Pilot

Know your real cost to certificate before you write the first check. Track every dollar as you train. Auto-logs flights via GPS. Built by a CFI. Free.

Know what your pilot certificate will actually cost before you write the first check. Track every dollar as you train. Auto-log every flight via GPS. Free, built by a CFI.

Most flight training tools were built for working pilots. They assume you already know what FAR 61.109 is, and that you can afford to find out what training really costs. PilotBound was built for the years when you don't yet.

Every flight auto-records from your phone's GPS. Every hour ladders into your real Part 61 requirements. Every dollar lands in a live projection of your total cost to certificate. And there's a community of students and CFIs in-app when you need an answer between lessons.

KNOW YOUR REAL COST • Free cost projection from your aircraft, instructor rates, and region • Live total of what you've spent, what's left, and where the money went • Per-aircraft costing: a Cessna 152 and a Cirrus track separately • One projection per certificate: Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, CFII, ATP • Sharpens with every flight you log. Your number, not a national average

KNOW WHERE YOU STAND • Every Part 61 or Part 141 requirement, completed and remaining • Hours toward Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, or ATP • Milestones detected automatically: first solo, first cross-country, first night • Training momentum and weekly streaks, visible at a glance

AUTO-LOG EVERY FLIGHT • GPS records every flight, taxi to landing. No paper, no forgetting • Every FAA field: PIC, dual, solo, cross-country, night, instrument, approaches, landings, holds • 3D replay you can scrub to debrief maneuvers and pattern work • Pre-filled costs from your aircraft and instructor rates on every flight

ASK BETWEEN LESSONS • A community built for students • Ask questions and get answers from other students and CFIs • Share flights and milestones • Your training data stays private by default; share what you want, when you want

SHARE YOUR PROGRESS • One-tap flight cards for Instagram or the family chat • Celebrate first solo, first long cross-country, checkride pass • Pick feed or story format • Cost stays private unless you choose to include it

Built for student pilots learning to fly. Whether you're starting Private, working through Instrument, or earning Commercial, your hours, your cost, and your training in one place.
