What FlySoloReady stands for

An age-old dream

For thousands of years, people have dreamed of flying. We belong to the first generations for whom this dream is reality, and we easily forget what a marvel that is. The moment of stepping into an aircraft has never lost its magic for us. It has stayed with us since childhood, and we are eager to see where aviation will go next.

A profession that asks a lot

Not everyone finds in the cockpit the magic they had hoped for. Time zones, nights away from family and dense rosters wear people down. And yet, after thousands of flight hours, many say it is the most beautiful job in the world. Whoever sits in the cockpit has passed rigorous exams. With the progress of artificial intelligence, we may even be among the last generations to fly an aircraft by hand. All the more reason for this skill to deserve good preparation.

Learning that adapts to you

Social networks use algorithms to pull us ever deeper into the next post. Preparing for aviation exams, by contrast, demands hour upon hour of theory. More than forty providers have brought apps to market for it, and very few can truly be told apart. Every few days another one arrives, ours included. That is exactly why we want to do things differently: learning theory should be radically flexible and simple, adapting to people rather than the other way round. You can already set the design and colors to your own taste. Learning should be so enjoyable that you are glad to come back.

A companion for a generation

Our goal reaches beyond the exam. We want to accompany an entire generation of pilots, break open and digitalize outdated structures in aviation, and become the place to go for everyone who is passionate about flying.

An open sky

Isn’t it remarkable? Above us lies an almost empty sky, while people on the ground endure traffic jams, connections and rigid fares just to get ahead. In the sky, no national borders are to be seen. How far you get is decided by weather, payload, route and aircraft.

Let us imagine a world with many more small airfields, where people travel reliably from A to B without being tied to where they live or to the fares of the airlines. Today, anyone who wants to travel flexibly usually has only the choice between the car and expensive flights by helicopter or private plane. In cities, rail is a strong means of transport; over long and cross-border distances, it reaches its limits. Mobility should expand people’s freedom and their room to flourish, not restrict it. A world in which people meet in person more often and more quickly would be a freer world.

Freedom with responsibility

Roads are good for freight. We still regret that an idea like the CargoLifter never became reality. The internet connects people in its own way. But only aviation unites, in this form, well-planned procedures with the greatest possible freedom and responsibility.

Learning from every mistake

Few fields learn from their mistakes as persistently as aviation. Accidents are investigated independently, and what is learned becomes rules, procedures and technology for everyone: from de-icing the wings before take-off to the locked cockpit door. This process never ends. Other fields have adopted much of it. Medicine today works with checklists modeled on the cockpit, and where it reaches its limits, that is down to structures and working hours, not to the people who are there for others day and night. We want the same attitude in learning: a mistake is information, not a flaw.
