Rebuilding pilot training for a new generation.
Pilot Computer is building the modern, end-to-end training ecosystem for the next generation of aviators — starting with the hardest part of the checkride and expanding across the entire journey from first lesson to the right seat.
The tools pilots train on are decades behind.
Aircraft, avionics, and airspace have all moved forward. The way we prepare pilots to fly them hasn’t kept up. We’re here to rebuild the whole stack — properly, and for good.
Outdated by default
Most training tools haven't meaningfully changed in decades — static PDFs, dusty test banks, and software that feels like it was built last century.
One-size-fits-none
Every pilot learns differently, yet the tooling treats them all the same. There's no adaptation, no follow-up, no sense of where you actually stand.
No real feedback loop
You can memorize a thousand questions and still have no idea if you can hold a real conversation with an examiner. Recall isn't readiness.
So we started building the training platform we wished we’d had — one that listens, adapts, and actually tells you when you’re ready. Not a better PDF. A different category.
Why we started with the oral exam.
We didn’t pick the easy win. We picked the part of pilot training that’s hardest to do well with AI — because if we could make the oral feel real, we could rebuild everything else.
The hardest thing to build well
A realistic oral demands real understanding, natural conversation, and judgment — not multiple-choice. We started here on purpose: nail the hard part first.
The highest-anxiety moment
The oral is where most of the checkride nerves live. It's the part you can't cram for and can't fake — and the part that benefits most from real practice.
Where AI truly shines
An AI examiner can run an unlimited number of realistic orals, adapt to every answer, and give feedback no test bank ever could. Maverick is at its best here.
Tell me about the documents you’re required to carry on board.
Airworthiness certificate, registration, operating limitations, and weight & balance — ARROW.
Good. Which of those has an expiration you need to watch?
Meet Maverick.
Your AI Designated Pilot Examiner. Realistic, adaptive, and aligned to the standards you’ll be held to on checkride day — currently for the Private Pilot License.
Realistic
Maverick runs a full mock oral the way a real DPE would — natural back-and-forth, follow-up questions, and the occasional curveball.
Adaptive
Every question is shaped by your last answer. Strong areas move quickly; weak spots get probed until you genuinely understand them.
FAA-aligned
Scenarios and standards map to the Airman Certification Standards, so you're practicing exactly what your examiner will expect.
Always available
No scheduling, no waiting, no judgment. Practice at midnight or between classes — as many full orals as it takes to feel ready.
One wedge. A whole ecosystem ahead.
The oral is where we start, not where we stop. We’re expanding stage by stage until everything a pilot trains on lives in one modern, connected place.
AI mock oral — PPL
Unlimited, realistic oral exam practice with Maverick, scored against the ACS.
Written test prep
Adaptive knowledge-test practice that learns your weak areas instead of drilling everything equally.
More ratings & certificates
Instrument, Commercial, and beyond — the same realistic oral practice across the ratings that follow your PPL.
The full training stack
Maneuvers prep, endorsements, scenario-based briefings — a single modern home for the entire journey.
Pilots are already training with us.
Thousands of student pilots have run their mock orals with Maverick — and walked into their checkrides ready.
Built by pilots, for future pilots.
We’re a team of pilots and engineers who got tired of training on tools that hadn’t changed in decades. We fly, we build, and we obsess over getting the next generation safely into the cockpit.
Pilots first
Every feature is built and tested by people who’ve sat in the seat. If it wouldn’t help us pass, it doesn’t ship.
Standards, not shortcuts
We align to the ACS and hold the bar high. The goal isn’t to game the checkride — it’s to make you genuinely ready to fly.
Relentlessly modern
We’d rather rebuild a category than polish an outdated one. Pilot training deserves software that feels like the future of flying.
Your checkride starts here.
Run your first mock oral with Maverick today. Practice until you’re ready — then walk in and pass.
