Schools
School of the month
Students comparing ATOs see this first. Name, short brief, official link, labelled paid.
Featured card above the school grid. One academy. 30 days.
Partnerships
Four places. One partner each. Booked with the founder.
Class 1 Pilot does not run a banner network. School of the month, then three boards. If you train pilots, sell kit they actually use, or underwrite the risk, there is a labelled place — after you enquire, agree terms, and pay. Rates sit in the media kit.
Inventory
The only places ads go.
Nowhere else: not the medical briefing, not the fit check, not the checklist, not in the nav. Rates and the audience sit on the media kit.

Pipeline strip
People with a calculator open. For loans that are real, insurance, and type-rating centres that do not sell a job.

Who we take
Aviation, not noise.
- Approved flight schools and ATOs listed on a regulator site
- Headsets, iPads, charts, and genuine training kit
- ATPL question banks and ground-school providers
- Aviation English / ICAO ELP centres
- Authorised medical examiners and AeMCs
- Loss-of-licence insurance and student-pilot cover
Who we refuse
If it fails the briefing, it fails here.
- Guaranteed airline jobs, pay-to-fly shops, or unlisted ‘cadet’ programmes
- Schools that cannot show a current ATO / Part 141 / national approval
- Payday lending dressed as aviation finance
- Anything that contradicts the briefing — we will refuse the creative

We set the type
You send a name, a short line, and a URL. Class 1 Pilot frames it. You do not get to restyle the site.
- Four paid places on the whole site: School of the month, Apron, Shortlist, Pipeline. One partner each. No pop-ups, no autoplay, no sidebar wallpaper.
- Every site slot includes one labelled post on the founder’s Facebook page.
- Booked in writing with the founder. Live only after payment clears.
- Creative is a name, a short line, and a link — Class 1 Pilot sets the type and the frame. School of the month also takes an 80-word brief.
- Students stay first. A partnership is labelled. Editorial is never for sale.
