The handbook didn't
cost you $25,000. You did.

OpenArrowis the AI tutor, progress tracker, and voice logbook for student pilots. It knows your syllabus, your last flight, and exactly what's on next week's checkride. Stop learning from a 200-page PDF and a YouTube playlist at 11pm. Get a tutor that's actually read your handbook.

The 30-second demo

Ask the tutor anything. In plain English.

It's read every FAA handbook (8083-25, 8083-3, AIM, FAR/AIM), it knows where you are in your syllabus, it remembers what your CFI noted last lesson — and it cites the exact section so you can verify.

Why now / Why us
SEC.03 / THESIS

We're building this because we're flying it right now. The founder is ten lessons from a Private certificate. Every “wait, what exactly is Vmc?” at 11pm, every “does the night XC need to be a separate flight?”, every “am I behind or am I fine?” — those shaped the product. The handbook is great. It's also 470 pages. You deserve a tutor that's read it for you. AI finally got good enough to cite the FAR you're thinking about, in the order your syllabus is teaching it. So we're shipping the tool we wish existed when we started.

What's already in the box

Every ACS task. Already mapped.

The FAR 61.109 Private Pilot syllabus is encoded in the platform — every task, every hour requirement, every endorsement code. Your tutor and your progress tracker are wired to the same source of truth.

SEC.04 / DATA

36 ACS tasks, 40 hours of FAA-mandated training, and 9 endorsement codes from pre-solo (A.1) through checkride (B.1, B.3) — all already encoded as data, not static text. Your progress walks the same graph the FAA uses.

36ACS tasks
Mapped to FAA-S-ACS-6 Areas of Operation I–XII. The progress tracker walks the same graph an examiner uses on checkride day.
