flightschools.fyi is a comprehensive flight school directory covering all 50 US states with 2,525 schools. It helps student pilots find schools by comparing transparent pricing, fleet details, instructor credentials, and quality scores. The site aggregates data from school websites, FAA records, and direct outreach to schools. Each school receives a 0-100 quality score based on training costs, DPE availability, onsite maintenance, reviews, staff credentials, fleet quality, and website transparency.

Questions from the trail

How does flightschools.fyi get its data?

The site aggregates information directly from flight school websites, FAA records, and other public sources, and also reaches out directly to schools via phone and email to verify details, fill in gaps, and gather information that isn't publicly listed. All data is regularly reviewed and updated.

What goes into the Quality Score?

The score is a 0-100 rating combining website transparency, pricing competitiveness, fleet quality, instructor depth, DPE availability, onsite maintenance, and more. Higher scores indicate schools that make it easy for students to get the training they need.

Is flightschools.fyi free for students?

Yes, the directory is completely free for students to use. Premium features may be offered in the future, but searching and viewing school profiles will always be free.

What's the difference between Part 61 and Part 141?

Part 61 is more flexible and self-paced, while Part 141 follows an FAA-approved structured curriculum. Part 141 can require fewer flight hours for some certificates, but both produce the same licenses. In practice, most students don't finish in minimum hours regardless of which part they train under.
