Listings are free — for every CFI and flight school
Getting listed in our directories never costs anything, and never will. The paid options below are optional advertising for businesses that want extra visibility. They're clearly labeled as promoted and never change our editorial rankings, reviews, or recommendations.

Our editorial policy — please read before inquiring
We're transparent about what advertising on this site means and what it doesn't mean.
- Directory listings are free for everyone — paid advertising only affects clearly-labeled promoted placement, never the free listings or editorial content
- No school receives a positive review, recommendation, or ranking boost because of a paid listing
- We don't accept "sponsored content" that presents advertising as editorial writing
- Affiliate partnerships are disclosed on every page where they appear
- We reserve the right to decline any advertiser whose practices we believe are harmful to student pilots
- All student reviews of listed schools are moderated for authenticity — we do not remove negative reviews
If these policies are a problem, we're probably not the right fit. If you offer a genuinely good product or school and want transparent placement in front of a high-intent audience, we'd love to work with you.
