Choose a tool. Start practicing.
Free tools we build at Pilot Rise for independent practice and clearer lessons.
VOR Simulator
Practice VOR navigation, course interception, and ILS indications on an interactive map.
Pitot-Static Simulator
Explore pressure sources, instrument internals, and what changes when an opening is blocked.
Weight and Balance Playground
Change passengers, baggage, and fuel to explore weight, center of gravity, and loading limits.
Carburetor Ice Lab
Explore carburetor icing, carb heat, throttle, and mixture with an interactive cutaway and weather controls.
Make the instruments make sense
Change a heading or a pressure source, then watch the indications respond. Our instructors use these same visual tools to connect the explanation to what you see.
Practice on your own between flights, then bring your questions back to the next lesson.
A study habit that fits between flights
Answer from memory, reveal the card, and rate your recall. Adaptive review brings the material that needs attention back into focus.
Our recommendation: ten cards with each meal. Three short sessions make consistent practice easier to maintain.
More tools, built around better training
Pilot Rise develops its own training tools around the concepts our students need to understand. We keep improving this collection and creating new ways to practice—with your instructor and on your own.
Questions about our training tools
Are these flight training tools free?
Yes. Pilot Rise’s public VOR simulator, pitot-static simulator, Carburetor Ice Lab, Weight and Balance Playground, and flashcard demo are free to use. Each listing links directly to the tool and to a guide explaining how to use it.
Which pilot study tool should I try first?
Use the VOR simulator for radio navigation, the pitot-static simulator for pressure instruments, the Carburetor Ice Lab for carburetor icing and engine controls, the Weight and Balance Playground for aircraft loading, or aviation flashcards for knowledge review. Choose the topic you are working on with your instructor.
Can flight instructors use these training tools?
Yes. Pilot Rise built these tools for both instructor demonstrations and independent practice. An instructor can use the visual aids to explain a concept, then have the student change a setting and explain the result.
