FlightEdge

Train better pilot decisions in 5 minutes a week.

FlightEdge turns real accidents and reports into interactive aviation scenarios so pilots can practice judgment before it matters.

Built for individual pilots — student to ATP. A scenario is a real accident, rebuilt as a decision you have to make: you fly it, choose, and see what actually happened.

  • Practice the decisions you'll actually face in the air
  • Real NTSB accidents — not invented hypotheticals
  • A new scenario every week, free — no enrollment or approval needed

Get a real-world aviation scenario every week.

Every week, FlightEdge turns an actual NTSB or ASRS event into a 5-minute interactive decision scenario. Make your call, compare your choice with other pilots, then see what actually happened.

No spam. Just one sharp aviation decision exercise each week.

Join other pilots training better decisions with FlightEdge.
Where the scenarios come from

Built on 400,000+ real safety events.

Most training tools are PDFs of FAA handbooks. Every FlightEdge scenario traces to a real event in the structured aviation-safety dataset behind ClearQuery — geocoded, aircraft-matched, and phase-tagged.

NTSB
90K+
Accident & incident events — full narrative, probable cause, and findings, 1962 to last month.
ASRS
200K+
NASA voluntary safety reports — first-person pilot narratives of what went wrong.
AIDS
110K+
FAA Accident/Incident Data System — events the NTSB doesn't track but that still teach.
Airports
19K+
Every US public-use field — runways, terrain, airspace, and accidents within 25nm.
The evidence

The best lessons start with a conversation.

Use realistic scenarios to spark discussions, explore consequences, and help pilots understand the bigger picture behind every decision. Why scenario-based training works →

“Every flight instructor wants to expose pilots to more real-world situations, but time, weather, and operational constraints make that difficult. FlightEdge fills that gap by giving pilots realistic scenarios tailored to where and how they fly. I also love the interactive tools — they make it easy to spark meaningful discussions and keep pilots engaged throughout the lesson.”
CJ MarciniCFII · Part 135 Captain
“Some of the best learning happens when pilots are challenged to think through a scenario rather than being given the answer. FlightEdge creates opportunities for deeper discussions, allowing instructors to explore different decisions, outcomes, and risk factors while helping pilots see how all the pieces fit together in a real-world operation.”
Aldo CostaCFII · MEI · Part 135 First Officer
“FlightEdge takes scenario-based training and makes it easy to practice consistently. The platform creates engaging training discussions, encourages critical thinking, and gives pilots a practical way to work through more real-world situations before they meet them in the air.”
Jacob KyserVice President · Universal Flight Training
“One thing I've learned flying Part 135 is that good decision-making is built long before you're faced with a real problem. FlightEdge takes real-world events and turns them into practical scenarios that force you to think through situations before they happen. It's an easy way to expose pilots to lessons that would otherwise only come from experience.”
