What's in your library

The second you sign up — all of it free, yours to keep.

01 46 lessons in the Cessna 172. Captured in the sim at real-time pace — the same pace you'd fly it for real. Not a highlight reel.
02 The four fundamentals. The stick-and-rudder building blocks every flight is made of.
03 Pattern work, steep turns, slow flight, and stalls. Where you learn what the airplane is telling you — before it tells you the hard way.
04 Crosswind landings. The skill that turns calm-day pilots into any-day pilots.
05 Planning, cross-country, and emergencies. Flying somewhere on purpose — and handling it when the day doesn't go to plan.

Taught in the order you'd actually learn to fly — first lesson to last.

Why we start here

Start with the fundamentals. Always. The big iron assumes you already have the airmanship — the instincts, the scan, the judgment — and most sim pilots were never handed it. That's the gap Aviator90 fills.

This is the airplane I learned in, and the one I still teach in. Get the 172 right and every airplane after it makes more sense — the glass, the automation, the heavy metal.

The 172 isn't the small step before the real training. It is the real training. Everything else is built on top of it.

46 lessons · 10h 11m · 10 real-world routes

Nine modules, first lesson to last — the fundamentals, the pattern, the maneuvers, then ten cross-country flights flown gate to gate in the sim. Every minute of it free.

And when you've flown a few lessons and want more, the rest of the hangar is one membership away. No rush. The 172 comes first, and it'll be waiting right where you left it.

Flies on the sim you already own

Every lesson is flown in the Cessna 172 on MSFS and X-Plane — no extra add-on to buy, nothing else to install. Just the airplane every student pilot learns in.

Straight up: this is training for the sim

It earns you no rating. What it earns you is the airmanship — the scan, the instincts, the feel — that every airplane after this one assumes you already have.
