Why this exists

Chair flying is the single most effective ground training technique in general aviation. Every instructor recommends it. Almost no one does it well, because there is no feedback loop, no structure, and no accountability. ChairFly fixes that.

Reduce Hobbs time to proficiency

Rehearse procedures, flows, and radio calls on the ground before the engine starts. Arrive at the airplane prepared, not learning.

Build real muscle memory

Camera-tracked cockpit mats let you practice switch flows and scan patterns at your desk. Your hands learn the panel before your feet touch the rudder pedals.

Measure what matters

Every session generates scores, debriefs, and training records. You and your instructor can see exactly where the weak points are.

How it works

Four steps. Desk to checkride-ready.

01

Select a scenario

Choose your aircraft, airport, and lesson stage. First lesson basics through checkride-level complexity.

02

Fly the chair

AI walks you through each phase of the flight. Hear ATC calls. Read back. Work your flows on the cockpit mat.

03

Get coached in real time

Your webcam tracks scan discipline, posture, and flow accuracy. The AI flags what you missed and why it matters.

04

Debrief and improve

Review a detailed scorecard. Identify weak points. Print a training record. Show your CFI proof of preparation.

Signature features

Not another flight sim. A structured AI rehearsal platform built for real checkride preparation.

Core

Readback Boss

AI generates realistic ATC instructions at configurable workload levels. You copy and read back. Scoring covers callsign, runway, heading, altitude, squawk, frequency, and route. Towered and non-towered environments.

Core

Computer Vision Coach

MediaPipe Face, Pose, Hand Landmarker and Gesture Recognizer run locally in a Web Worker. Tracks scan discipline, head stability, posture, and flow sequence over your cockpit mat. Observable metrics only. No video uploaded.

Signature

Cockpit Mat Mode

Print a cockpit mat on standard paper. Four fiducial markers register it in camera space. The CV Coach tracks your hand movements through switch flows, checklist sequences, and scan patterns in real time.

Pro

Final Boss Mode

High-workload checkride simulation. Fewer hints, stricter scoring, surprise events, and timer pressure. Designed to stress-test your preparation before the real thing.

CFI

CFI Dashboard

Manage up to 15 students. Assign scenarios, review AI-generated debriefs, add comments, and sign off training records. See exactly where each student needs work before they show up to the airplane.

All Plans

Training Records

Printable PDF after every session. Pilot name, date, aircraft, scores, AI coaching notes, and an optional CFI signoff field. Documentation your instructor can actually use.

The math is straightforward

Every hour of structured chair flying reduces the number of hours you need in the airplane. ChairFly makes that hour count.
