FAQs

Questions about
the library.

Are these resources really free?

Yes. Every guide, checklist, and playbook is free for flight school owners and operators. We do not sell, share, or auction your email. The goal is to be useful first, useful again, and useful when you eventually hire a marketing partner.

Do I need to give my email to download?

Some resources require email so we can deliver the PDF and stay in touch with you. Others, like the Free Flight School Marketing Audit, require a short intake form so we can tailor the audit to your school.

Are these resources only for Part 141 schools?

No. Every resource is written for both Part 61 and Part 141 schools. Where the approach differs, we call out the specific Part 61 and Part 141 distinctions.

How often do you publish new resources?

We aim to ship one new resource per month. Subscribe to the Pre-Flight Briefing newsletter to get notified when each one drops.
